Experts in the aftermarket have been warning about this for years. After all, it is a critical factor that can significantly influence operational efficiency and profitability. Yet, it remains an unfinished task for a significant portion of Spanish workshops, according to the 2024 <em>White Paper on Workshops<\/em> by Conepa and MSI.<\/p>\n<p>The report details the use of various technological platforms in workshops, providing insight into the extent of digitalization in the sector and how crucial it is for small and medium-sized workshops to integrate into this digital transformation to avoid being left behind in an increasingly competitive market.<\/p>\n<p>For example, regarding platforms that allow spare parts to be purchased efficiently and cost-effectively, 69% of workshops report having access to such a platform. In other words, three out of ten do not, which could indicate limitations in workshops\u2019 ability to optimize their supply operations.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the availability of Workshop Management Systems (DMS), crucial for daily workshop administration by providing tools to manage inventory, appointments, billing, and customer records, the report shows that 79% of surveyed workshops plan to implement a DMS. Notably, the remaining 20%, mainly small workshops, do not have this type of system, creating a significant digital gap in this sector of the market.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 68% of workshops have systems that provide them with up-to-date technical information, which is essential to ensure quality service and compatibility with new vehicle models. Meanwhile, only 29% of workshops use specialized systems for damage assessment, an essential tool for those that work regularly with insurers.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, regarding platforms for active vehicle reception, only 23% of workshops currently use platforms aimed at improving the vehicle reception experience, suggesting a significant opportunity to enhance customer interaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digitalization remains a pending task, as shown by the fact that three out of ten workshops still do not use parts purchasing
