Transparency for car dealers

Corporate Planner helps car dealers to plan, analyse and report their business data. In our solution, you plan your various business segments and present the data in a clear format, ready for use in dealer benchmarking studies. Since car dealerships and trading groups often work with a vast array of software systems, many of which are prescribed by the car manufacturers, efficient planning in the trade is a challenge. Corporate Planner for the Automotive Trade, with interfaces to all the major pre-systems, ensures transparency and excellent data quality.
