The Swiss consulting firm Panoff Consulting opens a Dutch branch office
Consulting – The company “celebrates” its arrival in the Netherlands with the publication of a paper.
The Swiss consulting firm Panoff Consulting enters the Dutch market. This was announced by the company. Berend Hoitink manages the Dutch activities.
Panoff specializes in the digitalization of the automotive trade, with “a focus on the interfaces between customers, OEMs, importers and captive banks”.
The company works for Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen FS, Mercedes-Benz AG, Renault, Kia and several large dealerships. Der Hintergrund der Mitarbeiter bei Panoff Consulting liegt fast ausschließlich in der Automobilindustrie und im Einzelhandel.
Whitepaper
After his arrival in the Netherlands, Panoff wrote the white paper “Automotive Retail in 2030”, which was produced in collaboration with CarQall (which offers an automated telephone assistant that can receive and handle part of the after-sales service at car manufacturers), describes the current changes in automotive retail and provides concrete tools.
“The basic idea is that digitalization provides a better insight into the customer’s needs. On this basis, a company can take measures to ensure that it becomes more economically resilient by reducing costs and optimizing processes.”
