Automobile consulting
Good advice is expensive: if you don't take it
Automobile dealers and manufacturers, shipping companies, or workshops: whoever deals with automobiles and services or operates a fleet will receive professional support from TÜV NORD consulting in all economic and organisational issues.
Since 1984, TÜV NORD Consulting offers consulting and coaching services that are specially geared towards the automobile market and have proven to be long-term success controls. Transparent management consulting can optimise economic processes and support personnel development: the advantage of TÜV NORD Consulting is the proximity to the market and the associated insider knowledge of the automobile industry.
We don't raise questions – we find solutions
ou are looking for concrete answers: How do I ideally manage my company and all processes? Which employees can benefit from coaching services? How do I organise the training and further education, the management system, or company-wide divisions, such as energy consultancy? We will provide you with efficient and specific suggestions for solutions. We analyse the entire process sequence and structural organisation, since every part of the chain is critical for the success of your company.
Renowned companies have placed their trust in us for years: We have developed an excellent reputation in the industry by providing tailored-made individual solutions. There is good reason why we can make our fees in long-term partnerships contingent on reaching the planned objectives.
Core areas
We offer the following services described – also in individual modules.
Economic consulting
Clear structures and ideal process sequences are the basis for the maximum performance of your employees. We provide the ground work for this and focus on the best measures: We look for the transferrable success models that have proven profitable in regular best practise market comparisons. We ensure that the costs and benefits in your company are in the right proportion and ensure that you continuously secure you turnover. In addition, we also work to strategically increase your turnover.
Within our economic consulting services for car dealerships, shipping companies, and companies, we not only analyse cost structures, we also work with you in developing activities that significantly and sustainably improve the turnover structure.
In addition to cost and turnover analyses, the efficiency analysis of goods and services play a central role within the building block of the economic consulting services involved in the integral approach of TÜV NORD Mobility.
Change Management: designing change processes
Discontinuing ingrained methods requires strength: If you have defined new objectives and want to introduce new structures, systems, processes, and policies, your employees first need tangible guidance that they can latch onto.
We regularly check whether your company is still heading down the home straight and provide assistance with arising conflicts and challenges. We, as external consultants, provide the necessary distance to the sensitivities of your employees and at the same time, keep the management out of the line of fire, thus helping your company head down the home straight faster.
Used car management for car dealerships
The profitability of your used car business is hinged on two factors: for starters, the buying price must be true to the market and the value of the car. Taking stock of used cars without performing visual and technical checks can bring about to significant losses.
The second decisive point is a short turnaround time for the vehicle: Good organisation and cooperation between workshop managers and responsible used car employees is the first step. In addition, fixed rules for the used vehicle processes must be defined and controlled. With the support of our specialists, you can make the "make or buy" decision on a solid foundation.
Remediation
We prepare tangible analyses, liquidity, turnover, and cost plans, as well as financial preliminary planning at short notice. We know the market and find expedient measures to sustainably improve your financial situation. Together we develop potentials that open opportunities into the structured financing of your company. We document how the current valuation adjustments of leasing returns impact many car dealerships in acute financial distress. In some cases, up to 30% of the net asset value must be written off.
In this situation, the financial situation must be improved and the overall cash flow must be increased. Periodic analyses are already showing the impact that the financial and economic crisis is having on the car dealership and shipping sector. It is now time to initiate sustainable targeted measures for securing your company's future.
We actively integrate your management personnel in the restructuring processes. It is essential, especially in a difficult economic environment, that the employer stand firmly on the bridge and that he navigates his ship to a safe harbour with our support.
Process consulting
The movement entailed in a process requires a dazzling performance from everyone involved. We, as process consultants, assume the trainer function: We motivate lackadaisical personnel, instil a new fighting spirit, and slow down overactive employees who overshoot the target.
We provide active support in implementing changes in the company, the management strategy, the communication, and the decision paths. In order to ensure that everyone can breathe life into the new strategy, all the problem areas must be identified and transformed into working power based on your existing organisation of the operational procedures and business processes. However, this does not happen against the will of your employees, but rather only with their active support: a functioning process management is actively supported by all the employees and management personnel involved.
Environmental consulting
Managing environmental concerns is no longer a superficial luxury for companies, but rather a legally prescribed requirement. Furthermore, your customers and employees expect you to have an ecological awareness in this day and age. Our experts support you in all environmental matters and particularly focus on the car market requirements.
