During a seminar at Automechanika Birmingham last week, Autodata reflected on the rapid technological advancements within the industry, bringing to light the need for garages to keep up with automotive advancements.

From electric vehicles to autonomous technology, today’s vehicles are complex and rapidly evolving machines.

Autodata is already at the forefront of a new generation of tools as the workshops become more and more connected.

From managing customers, to conducting a vehicle service and from diagnostics to parts ordering; all processes in a workshop are now entering a world where everything can be interconnected.

A new era of technology

The development in systems, such as Autodata’s online tools, means workshops can continue to take on work and protect their reputation through access to the right advice and instructions – even for the most advanced and complex technologies in vehicles.

Autodata say, with the right information and guidance, this new era is in fact a huge opportunity to evolve business practices to maintain access to the market, protect reputation through underpinning quality, and ultimately ensure and grow profits through greater operational efficiency.

Max Lienard, head of product and market development at Autodata, said: “The future is already here.

“In today’s technological world we already have smart watches, smart phones, even smart TVs – why not smart workshops as well?

“Not only have vehicles evolved, but customers have too.

Aftermarket ‘needs to evolve’

“This means the aftermarket needs to evolve as well to stay in the game.

“By embracing new technology on its way the industry can hugely reduce duplication, inaccuracies and general mistakes.

“This means better business and more trust from the end customer.

“It also means, that with a smart approach, workshops can easily and automatically become so much more proactive in generating new business and maintaining their customers.”
