CARe Schadeservice improves planning and efficiency with Quintiq

’s-Hertogenbosch, February 21, 2005 – Rapid and efficient customer assistance is vital in automotive body repair. Netherlands based bodywork repairer CARe's response to this requirement was to select advanced planning software from Quintiq. The results were remarkable. Efficiency increased by approximately 5%, while the time taken for repairs fell by some 20% (i.e. from 5 to 4 days).

CARe Schadeservice is a chain of automotive body repairers with 48 branches in the Netherlands. The company employs about 950 people, who repair close to 100,000 passenger cars to high professional standards each year. CARe Schadeservice is part of the publicly listed Athlon Holding, which operates in the lease and body repair market. The company's head office is in Vianen.

Mark de Vos, Commercial Manager at CARe comments. “Now we first use the Quintiq software to examine the consequences of a disruption and see what problems we can solve for ourselves. The new planning system has also yielded significant benefits for our large branches with some 25 staff. Managing using the traditional planning board was no longer adequate in these branches, but the new solution has changed all that, and we are able to resolve bottlenecks far more easily, thanks to the flexible facilities for rapid replanning.”
