• The Beatles are coming to America, again. RWA Automotive to bring to NADA Show the one solution to manage all your operations (Jan 10, 2023)

  Just like the Beatles reimported Rock & Roll back to America, RWA Automotive is bringing dealer business intelligence (BI) back to America.

  After a promising start from several USA based independent automotive dealer BI software companies, innovation stalled several years ago. These independent start-ups were bought out by large automotive software companies and their innovation and customer growth came to a standstill.

  In just 3 years, 20% of the UK’s Top 150 dealers have installed one or more modules from RWA’s Ignite BI suite. This has put them in COMPLETE control of their sales and fixed operations and in many cases benefited from a Return on Investment of more than 30 times its cost.

  There has been an explosion of 3rd party applications in American dealerships which have brought a lot of problems. It has led to application fatigue. It is the same in the UK, but RWA customers have found that RWA has solved one of the main problems of too many applications – data is spread across multiple applications and resides in silos which are difficult to access and bring together. RWA build one normalised database for each customer no matter which DMS and third-party applications they use. Insights and dashboards are automatically created for the dealer which means there is no longer a need for the dealer to collate and manage their own internal reporting. This cost-saving alone usually pays for the RWA subscription.

  Senior management benefits from a management dashboard providing key reports to support the optimisation of stock management, cash flow, vehicle and parts sales and margins. Automated DOCs and other reports are automatically distributed in a custom format throughout the organisation to ensure everyone executes consistently. 

  One UK customer with over 30 stores said “The power of data is crucial to meet the challenges in auto retail. The sector is now at a crossroads and needs to be able to analyse its business activity in detail. With this partnership, we’re offering seamless integration of key information about our auto business operations to our team. By partnering with RWA Automotive, our group is supporting its managers and team to make better and more accurate decisions to improve efficiency.”

  Speaking on behalf of RWA, Commercial Director Conall Lavery said, “multi-location auto retailers need to be in complete control of their business, especially with the current challenges. Data needs to blend from the DMS, multiple third-party applications, budgets and their accounts to get a clear view of the business performance.”

  We say, “Let’s Come Together” because “We Can Work It Out”.

  RWA Automotive will be on Booth 7051 at NADA Show 2023 in Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas, Texas. They’re offering following show specials exclusively at NADA 2023:

  • For PBS dealer groups, RWA Automotive is offering a FREE business health check (worth $5,000) with their live data. In addition, the first two groups that sign up will receive a 20% voucher off their subscription (for the first two years).

• RWA Automotive wins UK Motor Trader Award (Jan 18, 2023)

  RWA Automotive wins IT Innovation of the Year Award in London, England for its Automotive Dealer Business Intelligence (BI) solution

  At an awards ceremony attended by over 1,000 automotive dealers and industry insiders at Grosvenor House in London on 23^rd November 2022, RWA Automotive took the plaudits.

  RWA Automotive (previously Real World Analytics) provides a business intelligence (BI) solution to automotive dealer groups. RWA pulls data directly from the DMS (Dealer Management System) and many other 3^rd party applications such as Showroom & VHC systems each night. Automated actionable reports and dashboards are securely emailed to inform each level of the business where they are at in terms of their KPI’s, targets and the exceptions. Wallboards in the Sales and Service Advisor departments are updated throughout the day to drive daily performance. This business intelligence covers Sales, Aftersales & Accounts. The benefit of this is described by one customer as “What gets measured, gets done.”

  In 2021, RWA developed a new BI product for Used Vehicles called PriceSmart, this combines daily market pricing from Auto Trader & DMS data to enable the dealer group to maximise their profitability in a highly dynamic market. Auto Trader’s marketplace hosts the largest pool of vehicle sellers in the UK (listing more than 485,000 cars each day) thanks to their partnership with more than 13,300 retailers. Using the Auto Trader valuations, the dealer can overlay a custom pricing policy typically based on the Retail Rating (desirability) and Days in stock to give a daily recommended retail price for every vehicle. The innovation to the industry is:

  •           Being able to apply a central best-in-class pricing policy to their cars
  •           Profile entire group forecourt in 60 seconds
  •           Only show the exceptions to the dealers each morning for action, not all
  •           League tables for motivation and driving change

  This was implemented for a dealer with over 30 sites in England in September 2021. Astute implementation of these insights drove the average sale price $400 per car above the Auto Trader valuation from October onwards. Whilst the whole industry enjoyed a bumper return in 2021 with the rising market, this group added $3.4M over the return on the average market price to the group bottom line in the 10 months to July 2022 with this initiative.
