Mazepoint has launched Mazeinsight, a fully integrated business intelligence tool that enables dealer groups to collate data and manage, monitor and drive bottom-line performance.

It interconnects data from internal and external sources and powers each of the fundamental business processes (including budgeting, forecasting, planning, reporting) as well as allowing slicing and dicing for ad-hoc analytics.

The data insight is then streamlined into highly visual, personalised KPIs on a dashboard of real-time performance status.

It ensures that the whole business - despite geography or department function - is operating from the same page, all seeing one single view of the very latest real-time performance.

Tracy Ellam, commercial director at Mazepoint, said : “Data is a crucial asset at this critical time for the industry. To survive and prosper during this challenging period, successful business leaders have proved it’s vital to have accurate, real-time performance data at your fingertips.

“We’re very proud of the unique platform that our automotive finance professionals and technical experts have created for the automotive sector. COVID requirements have added more plates to spin, so now more than ever managers need quick and easy access to view their performance and spot opportunities.

“Saving hours of number crunching modules of this intuitive, flexible solution have already made a big difference to several retail groups and manufacturers. We’re excited to get the full end-to-end platform out into the market to support dealers at this critical time.”

The platform has an easy intuitive Excel front-end functionality and flexible drag and drop capability for side-by-side comparisons. Its modular form means that individual elements of the platform can be chosen as time and resources allow, to complement existing systems and ultimately achieve the full end-to-end management solution.

Mazepoint is already being used by a number of UK dealer groups.

Leanne Smith, head of Finance at Sinclair Group, said: “We now have access to all information at the click of a button and insights are putting money back on the bottom line of our business”.

Chris Thexton, group financial controller at Perrys, added: “Mazepoint has added real value to what we wanted. They didn’t just provide the solution we’d requested but worked with us to gain the most benefit.”
