Retail operations must respond to new shopper expectations. Looming changes to the status quo are forcing dealers and manufacturers to bridge digital and physical shopping experiences and to experiment with different ways of transforming the retail experience.
Disruption is coming fast to the auto industry.
The customer is in charge and they’re looking for a frictionless experience. The industry has now had nearly 10 years to adapt to consumer preferences and has done very little to accommodate. Disruption is at the door and now it seems everyone is scrambling.
