Black box provides dealers revenue and customer care opportunity
Evans’ focus is to allow dealers to maximise the aftersales opportunity from a new car over the first three years that he put at £1,700.In-Car Cleverness provides the black box unit, which is plugged into a car’s OBD by the dealer during the PDI, and offers opt in services to the dealer and customer.
Customers are offered the use of an app that will provide options on who should be contacted in the event of an accident, tracking if the car is stolen, if they want alerts when a service is due, oil level prompts, driving style data, the cheapest fuel in their area and any fault that is identified with their vehicle.
A dealer dashboard provides similar, actionable information in three instances: an accident, a service requirement or in the event of a fault, even if a dashboard light hasn’t illuminated.
Mileage data can also be used to calculate tyre wear and oil used on the need to replace filters.
Up to 200 messages by the in-car device via the OBD port.
