The latest data from the China Passenger Vehicle Association shows that the current inventory coefficient of dealers has exceeded the 4.0 warning line, and the overall operating costs have risen by 15% against the trend. Under the double pressure, digitalization has become the consensus for the industry to break through the deadlock.

As digitalization penetrates the after-sales market, after-sales revenue has become a crucial indicator of the "boom or bust" of car dealerships. However, in the key business area of after-sales profits and growth - the accessories sector - there are numerous management difficulties and pain points. The low standardization of suppliers and accessory management, the lack of transparency in prices, and the management and operation hidden costs resulting from the high reliance on manual work all affect the long-term healthy development and continuous growth of the after-sales business of dealer groups.

Baturu's digital solution for centralized procurement of auto parts provided to the automotive dealership group is based on the data, systems, supply chain, and operational capabilities accumulated by the group over the past decade in the automotive parts supply chain. It is built on SaaS services and helps dealers establish their own digital centralized procurement management platforms, enabling the entire procurement process of all stores under the group to be fully online.

Meanwhile, the group's own supply chain, combined with Batulru's high-quality supply chain, can help the group achieve lower costs and higher quality in the sourcing of components. Through digital management and the optimization and upgrading of the supply chain, it helps the group build a transparent, efficient and low-cost component supply chain system, ultimately achieving the goals of improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Vice President Chen Jikai of Batuluo, starting from the Baturudigital platform, demonstrated how its digital solutions have enabled over 100 groups to achieve a comprehensive cost reduction of 15%, and solved the deep-water zone problems such as system selection and quality control in the transformation process.

Just as Wang Guangshi, the president of the Digitalization Branch, concluded by outlining the ultimate industry vision: "The digitalization key not only opens the door, but also reveals the boundless vastness of the trillion-dollar market."

In the future, Batulu will start with the management of spare parts procurement, expand other segments of after-sales services such as supplies, and jointly promote the digitalization process of automotive after-sales services.
