Today's automotive industry is navigating complex challenges: increased market competition, shrinking margins, evolving technology, and an ever-higher bar for customer service delivery. Vehicle manufacturers struggle to invest and innovate in those customer-centric solutions that enable survival and growth. HGS can provide the pre- and post-sales service and optimized CX to truly differentiate and create customers for life.

Our automotive solutions approach starts with the right hiring and onboarding. HGS agents are trained to the specific needs of this industry's customer. HGS ensures that team members have a hands-on understanding of each product, supported by emotional intelligence and the technical ability to engage with end customers through multiple channels like IVR, email, chat and social media.

• HGS Roadside Assistance is our proven process of managing breakdown emergencies. In North America, HGS has designed an Uber-like app which dispatches the closest truck from its extensive North American towing and service network of 45,000 drivers, to help our customers at their moment of need. HGS's app is revolutionizing the roadside assistance industry by confirming service within 5 minutes and providing dramatic savings. https://www.teamhgs.com/solutions-capabilities/business-services/roadside-assistance

For the client, our value-added service can drive operating efficiency and cost-containment, especially during after sales service and roadside assistance (the ability to turn a negative situation into positive promotion).

HGS's consultative approach converts the contact center to a revenue generation center through cross-selling and upselling of products, insurance, and warranties. We build service tailored to a customer's unique preferences, by tracking all complaints, inquiries, and direct engagement with consumers through IVR or social channels in our CRM. Our agents are trained to close loops on the most complex scenarios, with proactive, customized concierge service that ensures exemplary satisfaction and brand experience.
