Intelligent engagement in action

From static outreach to smart, real-time service

A global, leading automotive brand faced a growing challenge in delivering timely, relevant, and personalized customer service interventions. Traditional outreach methods, which relied heavily on predictive algorithms and static contact lists, often led to inefficient/intrusive communication, low engagement rates, and missed opportunities to connect meaningfully with customers. These limitations highlighted the need for a more intelligent, responsive, and human-centered approach to customer engagement – one that could harness real-time vehicle data, adapt dynamically to customer behaviour, and deliver a seamless, end-to-end service brand experience across channels.

These limitations highlighted the need for a more intelligent, responsive, and human-centered approach to customer engagement – one that could harness real-time vehicle data, adapt dynamically to customer behaviour, and deliver a seamless, end-to-end service brand experience across channels.

Smart outreach in action: The three pillars of the Connected Vehicle Care solution

To address these challenges, they partnered with MSX to implement a tailored solution. This initiative was designed to fundamentally reshape how vehicle alerts are processed and how customer outreach is conducted. The solution was structured around three core pillars:

People

A dedicated team of customer engagement consultants was trained to initiate contact only when a verified need for vehicle intervention raised. This ensured that outreach was both relevant and respectful of the customer’s time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technology

The brand’s connected vehicle platform was seamlessly integrated within MSX’s CRM infrastructure, enabling real-time processing of vehicle-generated alerts and immediate routing to the appropriate service channels.

 

 

 

Data Integration

A streamlined data flow was established, allowing alerts to be automatically downloaded from the OEM’s system and uploaded into MSX’s CRM without the need for
complex middleware or manual intervention. This reduced latency and improved operational efficiency.

 

 

The pilot program was launched with an initial focus on two high-impact alert categories: oil quality and scheduled maintenance. By prioritising actionable insights and minimising false positives, the solution enabled more intelligent, timely, and human-centred customer interactions.

Intelligence backed by industry insight

At the core of the solution lies a sophisticated algorithm designed to intelligently filter and prioritize vehicle alerts. This ensures that only customers with a verified and immediate need for service intervention are contacted, significantly improving the relevance of each interaction. Rather than depending on broad, automated triggers, the system uses a more selective and intelligent decision-making process that identifies and prioritizes only the most relevant and actionable alerts.

To further enhance this precision, MSX incorporates a pre-analysis layer that distinguishes between false positives and genuine service requirements. This additional step minimizes unnecessary outreach, streamlines operations, and ensures that customer engagement efforts are focused where they matter most.

Precision powered by industry expertise

The process is further strengthened by MSX’s industry expertise in interpreting connected vehicle data and navigating the complexities of dealer network operations. Armed with this insight, consultants can tailor each conversation to the customer’s specific context. They validate vehicle status, clarify the nature of the alert, and outline the next steps in a transparent and reassuring manner, building trust and reinforcing the brand’s commitment to proactive service.

In cases where customers are unreachable, the system automatically initiates a follow-up via WhatsApp. This alternative communication channel helps maintain engagement and offers customers a more convenient way to respond, ensuring that critical service needs are not overlooked due to missed calls.
