A disrupted market
2020 has been a trying year for automobile manufacturers and distributors.
Faced with the health crisis, the new car market saw its sales drop by 25% last year, or 1.6 million new cars sold, the lowest total since 1975. Faced with a sector in deep decline change, where digital is taking more and more place, some companies offer complete and global solutions to support these players in the automotive world.
This is notably the case of Imaweb Groupe, born from the merger of three leading publishers in Europe: Datafirst, I'Car Systems and Imaweb.
Make data reliable
By pooling their strengths, these three publishers offer automotive distributors a global and integrated ecosystem.
Around the DMS, the ERP of the automobile dealership, a set of digital solutions completes the range of tools made available to automobile distributors.
These solutions are integrated thanks to a new “Next Lane” platform.
Data is thus collected only once in the same platform and this software can communicate, in particular in the service of Data.
"
Today, information systems mean that Data remains extremely segmented, decompartmentalized or unconsolidated
," estimates Patrick Prajs, president of Imaweb Groupe.
We have a role to play in this consolidation because if we want to do business thanks to Data, it absolutely must be reliable
”.
A European presence
To do this, Imaweb Groupe is involved beyond borders.
Thanks to the pooling of its various entities, the Group's presence is international.
Present to more than 65,000 users, the group's digital solutions extend to Western Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, etc.), North (Sweden), Central (Austria, Poland) and the East (Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey).
In all, Imaweb Groupe supports its clients in 17 European countries and 4 African countries (Madagascar, Angola, Morocco and Ivory Coast).
“
We triggered this external growth because we wanted to Europeanize a market which was very segmented by country.
We are one of the European players, even the leader, which is able to support our clients in their new challenges
”, explains Patrick Prajs.
Around its platform, Imaweb Groupe seeks to continue integrating new solutions, in order to pursue its quest for Europe, always at the service of automotive distribution players.
