Mobile apps have shaped the way we live our lives today. From banking on the go to ordering groceries online, there is literally an app for everything. Because of the speed at which we can get things done now, the world has significantly changed thanks to mobile apps. In 2016 there were 140.7 billion mobile apps downloaded, now compare that to 204 billion mobile apps downloaded in 2019 according to statista, all industries have used mobile apps to enhance their business products or services and the automotive sector is no exception.
You probably hear the phrase ‘just Google it’ at least once daily. Because of mobile apps that allow you to search for essentially anything, anytime, anywhere, we all have this sense of urgency to find information. Today, this is very much a reality, and we genuinely feel the need to Google something on the spot to get the answers to our relatively pointless queries. Because of this sense of immediacy, when information isn’t available right away, it’s frustrating. Let’s take a look at how 5iQ custom built customer app for garage’s has changed the way we handle our car booking and servicing.
5iQ customer app provides instant communication and connection. With mobile apps for messaging, social networking and video chatting, it’s easier to communicate now than ever before. While having constant communication at our fingertips has opened up doors for us that were never possible before, staying connected at all times does have its pitfalls. If a garage or auto workshops are not open 24/7 then how will they manage car service booking? They simply can’t! With 5iQ live calendar booking any customer can book a service 24/7 with confidence knowing that the date & time selected has been validated and they can drive in and get their car serviced hassle free.
