Carglass pilots the development of its network and optimizes workshop-vehicle movements with Nomadia Geoconcept
With more than 25 years of experience in the vehicle-glass replacement and repair market, CARGLASS® aims to offer customers impeccable service through greater choice, flexibility and proximity. Its dynamic network strategy includes integrated centers, neighborhood centers, mobile workshops and CARGLASS®/TOTAL centers.
The development challenges of the CARGLASS® network
Diversifying and increasing the number of centers is essential to provide the best response to motorists’ needs.
Network development requires location studies, market analysis and optimized sales-sector planning.
Existing-center performance must be compared to identify and prioritize future site-opening opportunities.
Workshop-vehicle routes must account for team availability, technical constraints and customer locations.
To support its development strategy, CARGLASS® turned to Nomadia Geoconcept and deployed the SIG Sales & Marketing geomarketing solution together with the Universal Geocoder geocoding solution. These decision-support tools made it possible to conduct location studies and optimize the sales sectoring of its 350 integrated centers.
Analyze markets and territories to support informed network-development decisions.
Standardize and geocode addresses to make geographical data easier to use and analyze.
Optimize the territorial organization of integrated centers and compare network performance.
Improve understanding of the market, competition and local communication opportunities.
Over the years, Nomadia Geoconcept has helped us perfect our geomarketing strategy thanks to the performance, intuitive use and flexibility of its solutions. The geographical approach significantly enhances the analysis of market data, enabling us to make strategic decisions about the development of our sales-outlet network.
From geocoding to reporting through thematic or spatial analyses, Nomadia Geoconcept solutions make it easy to view key information about the CARGLASS® network. This supports a better understanding of the market and competition, and improves communication at both national and local levels. CARGLASS® can measure and compare the performance of existing centers, then identify and prioritize new site-opening areas to strengthen its territorial coverage.
CARGLASS® mobility challenge: optimizing workshop-vehicle routes
Automated scheduling simplifies the management of pre-planned appointments and new incidents in real time.
The solution takes account of team availability, technical requirements, vehicle type and customer location.
Technicians can handle scheduled appointments and new incidents more efficiently, improving responsiveness.
Shorter journeys between callouts reduce travel time and make daily work more productive and predictable.
Apart from the quality of the relationship with Nomadia, we were particularly won over by the performance demonstrated during the pilot projects, as well as by the flexibility and ergonomics of the solution. Nomadia Field Service Management gives us a schedule management system perfectly optimized for and tailored to our constraints, such as team availability and the type of vehicle required for each callout.
From pilot projects to network-wide rollout
During the pilot projects using Nomadia Field Service Management, CARGLASS® reduced technicians’ journey time by around 10% and achieved an improvement of approximately two minutes per callout. Buoyed by this success, CARGLASS® decided to roll out the scheduling optimization tool across its entire network.
