• PDI – Pre-Delivery Inspection

  The primary functionality behind the PDI Solution is to provide accurate location information. Accurate location information on vehicles will enable rapid processing of vehicles. This is especially true in the PDI staging area, vehicle arrival, and vehicle shipment. TagStone’s TagFLEET is able to provide instantaneous customer vehicle location information throughout the PDI and servicing processes.

  In addition, the solution will record the amount of time each vehicle has physically been present in the PDI center. The system then allows reports to be generated based on any database field available, such as vehicle brand, model, colour, etc. This allows managers to accurately determine how quickly vehicle processing is occurring by brand or model, and enables business decisions to be made based on this information.

  Finally, the PDI Solution enables alerting based on vehicle movement. A major KPI that dealerships are judged on by brand is whether or not vehicles are moved and quick PDI’d according to brand rules. The system can be used to generate alerts if a vehicle has not been moved for a predefined amount of time.

• Service Centers

  TagStone’s TagFLEET enables the operations team in any car dealership to manage process flows and bottlenecks during servicing. This in turn ensures full visibility into service processes of interest to the customer, such as the test drive, as well as process bottlenecks. Visibility into the service processes, coupled with historical analytics, provide car dalers’ operations team with sufficient information to improve operations and reduce total service time, further impacting customer satisfaction.
