Knorr-Bremse and Dutch company WESP have announced that they are joining forces to jointly develop digital solutions for the commercial vehicle industry. In particular, a workshop benchmarking system that will enable commercial vehicle workshops to identify opportunities to improve sales and increase the efficiency of their processes.
Alexander Wagner, Vice President Global Aftermarket/TruckServices, Knorr-Bremse Commercial Vehicle Systems explains: "Our partnership with WESP will enable us to offer data-driven consulting services to commercial vehicle workshops that will help to directly improve their efficiency. Our strategic partnership brings together WESP’s expertise in digital services for workshops with Knorr-Bremse’s expertise in the commercial vehicle market."
Bas Wintjes, Managing Director of WESP adds: "Garage companies have a wealth of data in their own garage management software. With Knorr Bremse's market knowledge, we can combine the key performance indicators of the truck & trailer world with the dashboards of WESP. Together, we can then show workshops where they can further improve their performance. Fact-based."
A new workshop benchmarking system is being tested and developed in close collaboration with selected pilot workshops in the Netherlands and Germany. A key element of the joint development is a workshop performance dashboard. By benchmarking anonymised performance indicators, garages will be able to learn from each other, improve their business and make the best decisions, the two companies said in their announcement.
