Repair Management

Client:

Medium-Size Lease Company

Assignment:

Network Control, Cost Control and Customer Satisfactio

Point of departure:

• Combined Ratio was over 100 and still increasing. Insurance Premiums were raised each year with 10% but could not be invoiced to the user
• Reduce the cost of repairs without losing customer satisfaction en provide a better margin then competitors
• Outsourcing / employee costs; this was an unknown field within the company

Countermeasures:

• A future-oriented analysis of the company: What could be done in order to improve Bodyrepairs? Can the costs be reduced and limited?
• Set up of an own “Premium-Pool”
• All partner Bodyshops were audited and certified:
• All procedures, tools, skills and human resources solutions have been evaluated and the points of improvement have been identified. Based on this a plan was set up for the strategy. The aim was that clients shouldn’t have to pay for the inefficiency of a Bodyshop. But the Bodyshops should get paid on a proper level for their services.
• Bodyshops should be able to bring out the best of the partnership, to stay competitive and capable of investing => sustainable partnership.
• Moderate the costs of Bodyrepair
• Network control: The auditing was a regular recurring event; new partners were found and added to the network
• Management reports: the client received on a regular base reports about developments on most relevant KPI’s.

What has been achieved:

• 21% reduction of costs on Bodyrepair within 3 years.
• 12% reduction of overhead costs.
• 2% rise of the profit within Partner-Bodyshops.



• A stable and solid network where the word ‘Partner’ has a meaning!
