Case Studies
Optimization of the Used Vehicle (VO) Supply Chain
A French car manufacturer called on TNP to carry out a cost reduction project in 11 countries. TNP participated in the implementation of harmonised and optimised practices for transport, inspection, storage, preparation and capillary delivery. TNP contributed to the definition of the Purchasing target by carrying out internal benchmarks and market price analyses.
What made the difference
A TNP team, located in close proximity to the client’s teams, worked on-site and utilized Data Science tools to assist end-users in achieving their desired outcomes. The algorithms were developed by TNP’s Data Factory.
New Phygital Distribution Model
On behalf of a French car manufacturer in India, TNP carried out a project to define a new distribution model in high-traffic areas (malls, main thoroughfares, etc.). After defining the business model, TNP assisted the client in defining the customer journey in the shop and integrating it into the online journey, also with the brand’s partners. The Experience Store finally opened in Mumbai in 2018.
What made the difference
The implementation of an innovative multi-channel CRM approach to integrate online and physical customer journeys. This means that geniuses can benefit directly from information about the prospect and his or her intentions, for an optimised pitch and offer.
Dynamic Pricing
TNP developed the SMART SELLING platform for a leading automotive distributor in Europe. This platform includes features such as receiving prospect data and vehicle sales, an algorithm to determine the optimal selling price based on commercial turnover objectives, and a recommendation algorithm. The platform transmits daily vehicle pricing adjustments to optimize sales.
What made the difference
Our Data Factory, with its unique expertise in dynamic pricing challenges.
