Through CRM funnel analytics & ML-driven propensity recommendations for a leading automotive group in the Middle East.

Client Overview

Through CRM funnel analytics & ML-driven propensity recommendations for a leading automotive group in the Middle East.

Context & Challenges

Although the client had strong CRM adoption and high enquiry volumes, performance visibility across the funnel remained fragmented across AutoLine, CRM, and branch-level reporting.
Key challenges included:

Limited end-to-end visibility into lead progression and funnel drop-offs
Inconsistent follow-up discipline and TAT adherence across branches
No data-driven approach to accessory cross-sell & attach optimization
Reporting was retrospective rather than actionable at the point of sale

Leadership wanted to move from activity-based CRM reporting to a conversion-driven, profitability-focused sales engine.
