There has been an obvious transformation of the mobility sector in recent times. For the automotive sector in particular, these changes are widespread, driven by changing customer behaviours and the consumer demand for connectivity, ease of purchase and new financing models. Owning a car is no longer the standard option; shared ownership and subscription models are gaining more traction and providing options that transcend the physical car, extending to services, features and functionality like electric charging, insurance and optional air-conditioning.
For car manufacturers / OEMs and dealerships, new sources of revenue are emerging from the shift from products to services; in the pursuit of total connectivity firms need to deliver on seamless integrations and streamlined sales processes. Some manufacturers now resemble software firms and in a time of shifting consumer sentiment, dealerships are exploring new ways to connect with their customers. Many are adapting their physical spaces and services to meet evolving customer needs and secure more sales both online and in person.
We’ve worked with car makers including Volkswagen, BMW, AUDI and Toyota to transform everything from online purchasing options (buying a car on your mobile & financing solutions) to electric charging solutions. We are helping them to find new ways to better integrate with smart cities and the world around them. We’ve delivered connected services platforms, new dealership experiences, purchasing solutions and unique online sale options and have helped some of the world’s best known brands to reimagine the end to end customer journey from purchase to in-car experience. In fact, our 10 year+ relationship with AUDI has led to the creation of a joint venture: Valtech Mobility.
In short, we’re designing, building and driving the future of mobility.
