The challenge

Implementing a Business Process Management platform

Coches.com is Spain’s primary new vehicle marketplace. With an estimated monthly traffic of 2.5 million visits, it faces the problem of increasing requests for information about the vehicles it offers in order to generate more sales prospects.

They contacted Multiplica with the task of building a business process management platform that would enable them to automate their processes.

With this in mind, Multiplica chose to adopt Selligent Marketing Cloud, which allows for the personalization of material displayed at each point of contact and the optimization of communication processes throughout the client journey.

‘Coches.com operated in a digital environment that was heavily reliant on manual operations. The key problem we had with this project was to fully comprehend their data model, including what data they had and where it was stored, in order to develop a single data model that could automate personalized communication processes’.

What we did

Optimizing and automating the customer journeys

We began with an immersion phase in which we conducted interviews with stakeholders to better understand the operations of users and clients in each vertical, with the goal of optimizing and automating manual communications. We worked across three of the company’s verticals to do this: Used Vehicles, New Vehicles, and Renting, with a focus on Used Vehicles.

To understand how we could optimize the processes in each of the verticals we worked on, we constructed a multivariable segmentation matrix containing buyer personas, phases, goods, and journeys.

We then moved on to creating a data model and finalizing the business blueprints for the structure of each of the flows, taking into account the various points of contact and needs that customers have at each step of the commercial funnel: acquisition, nurturing, conversion, and loyalty.

Finally, we defined the Business Requirements, which included a marketing automation strategy based on the platform’s tactics and content (emails, forms, promotional Landing Pages, or web pop-ups) and executed them in tactical sprints with each of the defined actions.

Key learnings

The importance of having a deep immersion phase in which we conduct interviews with various company interlocutors in order to completely grasp their processes and needs.

To provide value, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the business. Having prior experience in the automobile industry helped us greatly to shorten the learning curve about the industry.

The project allowed the Multiplica team to gain a better understanding of the Selligent Marketing Cloud platform and the Site tool, as well as improve the efficiency of our work methodology.
