I have 7 RVP direct reports with a total of 300 salespeople in the field; some are independent reps. I have to present a forecast by account down to the part number for a rolling 12 months. It seems like I spend most of my time forecasting. I also struggle to get the independents to forecast; they say it is non-value-added work for them.

I am a single site facility in diverse markets with a high seasonality mix. The struggles of flexing the workforce or level loading the factory can mean the difference between making or losing money in any given month. I rely heavily on sales and operations working together on forecasting. I also need to watch volumes and pricing carefully, we have lots of competition and need to keep our customer base happy.

The digital revolution is happening at lightning speed — and seems to accelerate more every day. However, businesses in the automotive sector have barely begun to scratch the surface when it comes to reaping the potential of a data-empowered, digitally-enabled world. While industry organizations may believe that they are providing supportive digital-forward experiences, their customers might beg to disagree.
This paper will consider why automotive companies' assumptions may not reflect their customers' lived experiences and explain why many businesses in the automotive sector are not set up for success in the digital world.
There are few experiences more frustrating for a customer than having to repeat crucial information again and again. Yet when buying a car, the customer is often expected to answer the exact same questions when shopping for a vehicle, negotiating a deal, and having the vehicle serviced. It raises the question: When your data is kept under one roof, why isn’t that information being shared between teams? Oftentimes, the answer is because each individual team is working with siloed processes and technology, which limits the flow of data and unnecessarily fragments the customer experience.
In this episode of Transformation @ Work, we look at how effective digital tools can help teams bridge departmental silos and centralize customer data to create a more seamless experience from beginning to end.
