CEO CORNER

‌
‌

Hi,

I’m Jonathan, CEO of Infomedia Ltd. Today, I’m thrilled to launch the first edition of our quarterly newsletter, DRIVING FORCE!

DRIVING FORCE is a new and important channel focused on delivering the latest innovation news from Infomedia.

Recently, I have travelled around the world to meet with our Automaker (OEM) partners to discuss some of the challenges they are facing in the Parts and Service areas of their dealerships.

Overwhelmingly, the radical speed of change in the automotive landscape is having a broad impact. Rapid technological advancements and changing consumer behaviors, pose both an opportunity and a threat, to OEM Parts and Service businesses.

Against this backdrop, Infomedia is working with our OEM partners and key Dealer Advisory groups to look at how to solve some of the more pressing challenges.

We're exploring how to take a silo solution like the humble EPC and introduce capability to power original parts sales in the mechanical and collision channel.

We will continue to share our progress and innovations through DRIVING FORCE.

Please get in touch with our regional representatives to discuss how we can support an increase in original parts sales service delivery in your business.

Until the next edition!

Jonathan Rubinsztein
CEO of Infomedia Ltd
