Automotive & Auto Components Sales Force Automation

Automotive Sales Force Automation Software for Malaysian Business

An SFA platform shaped around Malaysian automotive workflows: KAM calendars against OEM HQ buyers and dealer principals, dealer sales executive coverage of independent workshops and fast-fit chains, model-fitment quoting at the counter, mechanic engagement logging during workshop visits, and live workshop-level sell-out roll-ups by brand and SKU.

How It Works

Three Pillars of Automotive Cloud SFA

KAMs work OEM and dealer-principal calendars. DSEs work daily workshop and fast-fit beats. The SFA splits both workflows on one app: KAM cadence for strategic accounts, DSE beats with model-fitment quoting and mechanic engagement, and live workshop sell-out roll-ups tying both back to dealer ledger data.

KAM Cadence: OEM HQ + Dealer Principal Reviews

Each OEM and dealer-principal account gets a KAM with a HQ call calendar (buyer meetings, listing reviews, JBP touchpoints) and a flagship dealer-audit cadence. Visit planning respects the two cadences. Missed calls flag and re-schedule against the next available slot.

DSE Workshop Beats with Model-Fitment Quoting

DSEs work daily beats covering independent workshops, fast-fit chains, fuel-station retail, and aftermarket spares shops. At each stop, the DSE searches the model-fitment catalogue by make, model, year, and engine spec to quote the right part the first time through the store-level interface.

Workshop-Wise Sell-Out and Mechanic Engagement

Dealer ledger and DMS data feed into the analytics layer for workshop-wise sell-out by SKU. KAMs see range compliance, mechanic engagement quality, and brand recommendation share. The 1Voice AI assistant answers questions like "show top three workshops by lube sell-out growth this month" without needing a custom report.

Complete Platform

DSE + KAM Attendance, Model-Fitment Quoting, Sell-Out, Expense

A complete automotive SFA stack: DSE workshop beats, KAM OEM and dealer-principal calendars, model-fitment quoting linked to DMS allocation, mechanic engagement logging, and field expense workflow, all on one cloud.

DSE Attendance and Beat Adherence

DSE check-in locks to the assigned workshop or fast-fit outlet with selfie AI and geo-fence. Daily beat compliance, missed-visit alerts, and productivity ratios feed into the workforce view. Field teams report into separate productivity buckets by territory and DSE class.

KAM Cadence: OEM HQ + Dealer Principal

KAMs have two visit types: OEM HQ meetings (buyer reviews, listing negotiations, JBP) and dealer-principal reviews (flagship dealer rollouts, DSE coaching). Route planning respects the dual cadence and adjusts when an OEM calendar shifts.

Model-Fitment Quoting and Order Capture

DSEs search by make, model, year, and engine spec to surface compatible parts. Quotes capture instantly with stock availability from the DMS allocation layer. Cross-reference to OEM part numbers and competitor numbers helps with substitution decisions at the counter.

KAM Expense, Leave, DSE Timesheets

KAMs submit expense claims against OEM visit days with receipts. Leave management covers public holidays and exports payroll-ready files. DSE shift timesheets export in formats accepted by direct-hire or contract-staffed field organisations.
