The Challenge

By adopting the OneDealer solution TrapoFit expected to address the following challenges:

  • Van owners have been turning away from authorized dealers for service, towards competitive independent repair shops
  • The new trapoFit concept was created to tempt customers back, by reducing costs, optimizing workshop processes, and offering fixed-time, fixed-price service
  • Needed a software platform that provides consistent web-based sales and after-sales customer experience, direct interfacing with vendors and the reality of a paperless workshop
