Sewells Pty Ltd and Complete Dealer Services Pty Ltd are proud to announce their intention to combine forces to provide the Automotive Industry with the perfect balance of Training / Dealer Development Services and the latest technologies in Reporting methodologies.
On an international scale, Sewells is primarily a consultancy that specialises in offering Training and Dealer Development Services within the Automotive Industry. Sewells enjoys a strong reputation worldwide with it's insights in the financial performances of dealers and the markets they trade in.
In some areas of the world, Sewells additionally facilitates the data collection and supply of Market Intelligence to the dealer community, acting both on behalf of OEM's as well as interacting directly with dealerships and groups. Their "ESOS" reporting model is well respected in the automotive market worldwide and enjoys a membership of around the 1,000 mark.
Rather than contemplating mirroring that technology in the local automotive space, Sewells approached us to see whether more could be gained via some sort of alliance. The result of this is that both of our organisations will focus on our own competencies within the local Automotive Industries, and the best of both businesses will be available to service the industry.
In order to set the relationship in concrete, Sewells has secured a minority interest in the CDS business. This assures the relationship's continuity as well as offers a sound grounding for the combined efforts of both parties to flourish.
What does this mean for the Australian Automotive community? The answer to that question is very specific - "As much as you will allow it to"!
CDS aims to change nothing about its existing operations, which includes ongoing development and improvements, in offering Dealerships, Dealer Groups and OEM's the best tools and support to the market. And, Sewells will continue to make its mark on the local landscape for delivery of quality services to Motor Dealerships in its areas of specialisation.
However, In the event that you take on services offered by both parties, you gain the benefit of the combined efforts of both. The latest technologies tuned to the latest advice.
Sewells are highly conversant in our latest technologies and know how to squeeze maximum benefit from them. Similarly, we are adopting Sewells "best practices", developed and nurtured from its extensive experience, into the ITKonline reporting model to bring an exciting new level of intelligence to a screen near you! The result is that the best of both of our practices are being entwined into something much greater than could have been achieved separately.
Hand in hand, Sewells and CDS will set about identifying where each others talents can be "wheeled" into your organisation to streamline and maximise your profit opportunities. And, in direct line with each others skill sets, each party will set about finding the most prudent way to assist your organisation in achieving new heights in performance and profitability.
Additionally, we both value the integrity of our relationship with you, our customer. As such, no data or information will be exchanged between our organisations unless you authorise it to be the case.
By example, you will note that Jason Belzycki has offered an article recently on a new "benchmarking" program that we are embarking on. Your inclusion into that membership will allow you access to the most up to date and relevant benchmarking details possible. The process is a "black box" to you as well as it is to Sewells. Whilst you will be able to compare your results to "market trends", you will not have access to any other individual's details. Similarly, Sewells will contribute many data sets to the "black box" through it's performance group and OEM efforts, and will equally benefit from the Market Intelligence the "benchmarking" engine will deliver, without any "unauthorised" knowledge of any individual results.
If Sewells is a name that is new to you, I strongly urge you to visit their website at www.sewells.com.au, and please, feel free to ask us about any more you want to know.
CDS and Sewells would be more than happy to meet with you at any time to discuss the many ways we can be of service to your organisation. We look forward to collectively offering the most relevant and prudent solutions to your performance enhancing needs through reporting supported by training and development. |
