Technology without Hurting the Customer Experience

 

There is a robot that can balance on one foot, navigate obstacles and fold itself to fit into the back of a car. It can also use its arms to carry and deliver packages straight to your door, and even ask for help if a problem occurs along the way.  Many dealerships are trying to use today’s technology to cut cost and streamline processes to increase profit.  However, most experts say robots will increasingly complement flesh-and-blood workers by taking over certain tasks, rather than replacing them wholesale.  This makes sense.  Technology is great for instantly giving information and communication.  It will not replace the human element.  Dealerships have to find a way to marry the two together.  Those that do will have an increase in customer satisfaction as well as a larger margin because of the efficiency that technology brings.



The easiest, most repetitive and routine tasks can be automated.  By contrast, technology will not replace conditions often change or emotional intelligence is required. Sorry KITT, 3CPO, Cerebro, HAL 9000, Mother and MCP!  You can help, but can’t replace!
