Automobile
From showroom performance to workshop profitability, we help automotive groups price sharply, fund inventory efficiently and protect margins across every revenue line.
Understanding the automobile business model
Automotive businesses in the region balance heavy inventory commitments, manufacturer targets and thin new vehicle margins while service and parts quietly carry profitability.
We bring dealer level financial visibility so leadership can see which brands, branches and revenue streams actually create value.
Inventory carrying cost
Ageing stock, floor plan interest and currency movements erode gross margin before a single sale is booked.
Margin transparency
New vehicles, used vehicles, parts, service and finance commissions are often reported together, hiding true contribution.
Workshop productivity
Technician utilisation, labour recovery and parts fill rates are rarely measured with financial discipline.
Working capital pressure
Supplier terms, customer credit and warranty recoveries create unpredictable cash cycles.
How we support automobile businesses

Management reporting that separates new, used, parts, service and finance income with clear contribution margins.

Pricing and discount governance

Internal audit for showroom and workshop
Controls over cash, job cards, parts issue and warranty claims.
