The brief
More than 70% of people want a test drive with a vehicle prior to purchase.
Honda have historically used a logistics company to hold stock, hundreds of cars at a single point in the UK which would then be delivered to companies employees who wanted a test drive.
This operation was inefficient and was significant cost to the organisation. A new system had to transform the way the operation worked and lower the cost base.
