Maximising Success Through Data-Driven Strategies

The aftersales processes of the M.A.X. Group were characterised by manual, time-consuming processes, which made efficient and in-depth data analyses difficult. This prevented the identification of additional sales potential and a sustainable strategic focus.

In addition, there was no measurable success control for the marketing measures specified by manufacturers, as neither focus product sales nor cross-selling potential were analysed.

At the same time, customers expected modern, digital communication, but the existing systems were not geared towards a proactive and personalised customer approach.

Our solution: Partnership with Veact for data-based aftersales marketing

Through a strategic partnership with Veact GmbH, the M.A.X. Group significantly enhanced its customer communication. Six data-driven marketing campaigns were implemented to tap into cross-selling opportunities and engage customers proactively. The introduction of the Spotlight tool further elevated data quality across the board.

Maximising Efficiency with Spotlight

The collaboration with Veact marked a turning point for the M.A.X. Group. A centralised interface enabled the extraction, structuring, and transformation of customer data into actionable insights. Spotlight played a pivotal role in this process by substantially improving data quality, facilitating personalised campaigns, and ensuring full compliance with data protection regulations. Prior to Spotlight, customer reachability stood at approximately 60%. The implementation of the tool boosted this figure by nearly 10%, allowing customer needs to be identified earlier and more accurately—a critical advantage in light of increasingly stringent data quality requirements tied to OEM bonus systems.

In addition to optimizing campaigns, the foundation for long-term growth was laid. Introducing 24/7 vehicle handover and centralized appointment scheduling improved the customer experience and made internal processes more efficient. Keeping in regular touch with Veact was a big help in making this change happen.
