关于客户
Dealertrack operates the largest online credit application network in the U.S., connecting dealers with lenders throughout the country. It is also a leading provider of software and services for the automotive industry, with cloud-based solutions that enhance efficiency and profitability for auto dealers, lenders, OEMs, agents, and aftermarket providers. Dealertrack’s Dealer Management System (DMS) helps thousands of companies manage their retail businesses, from selling vehicles to handling inventory to producing financial statements. Auto dealerships and large equipment manufacturers value Dealertrack DMS for its comprehensive functionality and lightweight, on-demand deployment model.
挑战
Dealertrack, the largest online credit application network in the U.S., lacked modern reporting, analytics, and data visualization capabilities in its flagship Dealer Management System (DMS). The software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution included numerous built-in reports, but customers lacked parameterized reporting options and were not able to create reports from scratch. They only had rudimentary tools for visualizing business data in charts, graphs, and dashboards. These deficiencies led Dealertrack to purchase Information Builders’ industry-leading WebFOCUS business intelligence (BI) and analytics software. Dealertrack evaluated nearly a dozen BI products before selecting WebFOCUS. After a careful analysis, it determined that the WebFOCUS architecture is ideal for SaaS and cloud deployments since it is based on a highly scalable reporting server that is accessible from any web browser, with no special software required at the dealerships.
解决方案
Dealertrack uses WebFOCUS to develop a series of dashboards, parameterized reports, and a custom report-development environment. WebFOCUS enforces the existing log-in procedures and access restrictions resident in Dealertrack DMS, so users only see reports and dashboards that they are authorized to see. Data is constantly synchronized between the DMS server and the reporting server, both of which reside on the iSeries computer. Dealertrack is in the process of rolling out DMS Reporting free of charge to all of its dealers. Hundreds of dealerships currently access the on-demand reports and dashboards, and dozens of new dealers are being added each month. The environment includes four primary dashboards: General Dealership, Parts, Service, and Vehicle. With WebFOCUS guided ad hoc technology, users can easily choose columns, sort criteria, measures, and output formats to generate their own personal reports.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
