![]() We created a single point with Liferay portal-like systems, which were used to operate companies’ daily activities: local news portals, wiki pages, document libraries, media galleries, etc. From a technical perspective, Liferay is a perfect platform that can fit every industry where there is a need for a certain number of features for a certain number of users.Ī web portal built on Liferay with its extensive infrastructure, a well-ordered system of roles and permissions, content differentiation, and well-organized communication between different parties worked best for this purpose.įortunately, there were no messy codebase and bunches of old data until. The automotive industry requires a strong digital presence as the companies have a sophisticated network of sellers and OEM parts distributors worldwide. We embarked on a handy content management system. The client wanted us to take global content flows and merge everything into one single platform enabled to store content and manage processes, work globally, and do it under strict hierarchy rules. And we engaged in it with a great deal of energy. We had the intention to make a product loyal to partners who are opposed to altering their already existing developed systems and processes. We were going to fight manual in document adjustment and validation needed to meet standards published by car manufacturers. Multiple heterogeneous data flows are inventory management documents, financial statements, labor time standards, parts inventory reports, material returns and claims, availability reports, orders, repair orders, invoices, fiscal files, vehicle specifications, bills of lading, and others. The difference could be in the number of signs in names, their types which don’t match with dealers’ or other contractors’. Manufacturers have a list of standards for contractors who had an intention to establish collaboration.Įach automotive brand had its integration specification standards for documents within its unified database. There are integration managers at the car plants which are responsible for dealer or other contractors integrations (cooperation) within the distribution or purchase programs. ![]() The key point in the process of engagement manufacturers and dealer networks is a remarkable information flow circulating between them. The main goal of the project is to simplify an integration and dealership performance between car manufacturers and dealers over the world. We had to create one single-login ecosystem where partners can access business data. Multiple dealership communication apps instead of one united ecosystem where manufacturers and dealers could meet and collaborate seamlessly stood in the way of effective dealer integration and management. It causes wasting valuable time affecting deals. Traditional online communication required from employees to login to several apps for different types of message share. When we took up the case, manufacturers used separate management apps to run their business and interact with dealers. There was no single collaboration platform. ![]() The manufacturing process and trading are accompanied by heterogeneous documentation transfering from plants to dealers and back. The story behind goes around marketing cars by plants through dealer networks worldwide. Aimprosoft was ready to rise to challenges, and we started to explore and delve into the domain. Motive Retail was looking for a partner who could contribute to the right solution and lead the development process. The industry needed a solution to speed it up, preferably the web.Īgree, with a driver-assistance system as a common in-car feature nowadays, separate message apps and manual document recognition drop a company out of the market. Both sides have their own standards of creation documents in the XML file format. Markedly slow manual document processing hindered companies on the way to excellent customer service.įounders of Motive Retail wanted to better collaboration between car manufacturers and dealers across the globe within a single login platform.Īt the same time, plants exchange documents with dealers and distributors in their daily operations. Motive Retail is a US software company that penetrates innovative technologies to global manufacturers and dealer systems of the automotive industry.īeing at the edge of the break, the automotive industry felt a lack of technological innovation in the back office.
