The three-day Automotive Dealer Day 2019, Europe’s leading event for the automotive sector, concluded with almost 5,000 operators attending Veronafiere, a 10% increase compared to 2018. National dealers, car manufacturers, repair supply chain players and trade associations discussed the challenges of a constantly evolving sector, including new technologies, consumer trends, innovative services and business strategies.

Looking at the mobility of the future, car sharing and integrated mobility are reaffirmed as rapidly growing trends, but they do not diminish the car as a personal asset. 46% of Italians see themselves behind the wheel of their own car in the future — a vehicle that is increasingly technological, connected to personal devices and seamlessly integrated into people’s lifestyles, work and passions.

Ballsystem has emphasised the value of the customer journey and innovative models for assisting and repairing traffic damage, bridging the gap between the service chain and dealers with increasingly smart, integrated, and sustainable solutions that improve efficiency, speed and environmental friendliness.

“Innovation and digitalisation are changing the approach to the automotive world, which is increasingly becoming a true commodity,” said Antonello Fiorenza, General Manager of Ballsystem. “The evolution of consumption and car design demands that the service chain leap into the future, anticipating user needs and reinventing the customer experience with tailor-made, exclusive services.
Ballsystem began digitising its processes some time ago, from booking to car delivery, creating an integrated channel that guarantees dealers greater efficiency and profitability. For Ballsystem, being a valuable partner for dealers means supporting them in customer service management through a widespread network of One Stop Shops, a true proximity network that significantly reduces processing times and vehicle downtime while maintaining uniform service and high quality standards across the country.”

Ballsystem showcased a virtuous example of environmental responsibility at ADD 2019, at a time when transitioning to a sustainable supply chain is no longer optional, but a global duty. The development of a patented zero-emission method for repairing accident and hail damage without repainting is a model of both sustainability and productivity, drastically reducing processing times and operating costs while significantly increasing efficiency and profitability for supply chain participants.

The 18th edition will be held at Veronafiere from 19 to 21 May 2020

Ballsystem creates a new space for innovation

From 14 to 16 May, Verona will host the 17th edition of Automotive Dealer Day, the Quintegia event that brings together the European automotive world to anticipate and navigate the evolution of the sector amid new challenges, services, roles, skills and business opportunities.

Ballsystem welcomes its partners in a space that tells a story of excellence, from the rediscovery of craftsmanship elevated to its highest expression and certified by the Ballsystem method patent, to the strategies of channel development, digitisation and innovation across the entire repair chain with the expansion of the One Stop Shop Ballsystem network throughout the region. The evolution of Ballsystem thus embodies relentless research, riding the wave of digitalisation while remaining rooted in direct human relationships, with high-tech services and a widespread presence that ensures comprehensive assistance.

Ballsystem brings to ADD 2019 a virtuous example of environmental responsibility, at a time when transitioning to a sustainable supply chain is no longer an optional benefit, but a global duty.

Automotive Dealer Day 2019 promises to leave a lasting mark on how the sector is conceived and developed, and Ballsystem is ready to lead the way in this new vision of the future.

On 17 and 18 November, Ballsystem® took part in Service Day, the new event organised by Quintegia Asconauto entirely dedicated to the automotive and after-sales market. As Silver Sponsor of Service Day 2018, Ballsystem® was the star of the event with its exclusive cold repair method, based on internationally recognised principles of eco-sustainability.

To highlight its green identity and commitment to environmental protection, certified ISO 14001:2004 according to the Kyoto Protocol, Ballsystem® created a fully eco-sustainable stand to showcase its core business: the Ballsystem® cold repair method, an evolution of PDR, internationally patented, completely free of fillers, paints and solvents, minimising environmental impact and representing a highly profitable method and a tangible business opportunity for supply chain partners.

Ballsystem®’s presence at Service Day 2018 was met with great enthusiasm by industry players, confirming and rewarding the strategic vision of a company that places training at the heart of its values. With the Green Partner project, Ballsystem® has established a business network founded on the best practices that drive the company: innovation and change.

Continuously growing and evolving, the Green Partner network created by the Ballsystem® group is not only a network of excellence for unconventional repairs of hail and accident damage, but also a platform for sharing ideas, projects and experiences across the supply chain.

Joining the Ballsystem® network today provides your business with a decisive advantage over body shops using traditional methods, and offers new opportunities in the automotive and after-sales market, which is undergoing a renewed phase of change and evolution.

Ballsystem is a Silver Sponsor of Quintegia and AsConAuto’s Service Day: the first international event dedicated to the automotive after-sales and repair sector.

On 17 and 18 November, Service Day, the new event organised by Quintegia and AsConAuto, will make its debut at the Brixia Forum in Brescia. The event is reserved for all players in the repair supply chain and features a programme of meetings and talks on key topics for the efficient and effective management of service, with a focus on digitalisation and profitability.

In the workshop and service sector, an extremely diverse and fragmented reality with over 35,000 operators, Ballsystem was one of the first to structure a network of craftsmen specialised in cold repair of hail and accident damage using the exclusive Ballsystem method, whose originality is now recognised by an international patent.

This method now represents a tangible opportunity for entrepreneurial development in the after-sales sector, enhancing the traditional body shop offering with a highly qualified service that promotes craftsmanship and excellence, while meeting the growing demand from both manufacturers and customers for fast, innovative, green and minimally invasive repair services that preserve the car’s original characteristics and value.

Not only repair and craftsmanship, but also continuous employee training and a culture of innovation, with the complete digitalisation of the supply chain and integration of Authority services to guarantee customers constant monitoring of expert reports and fleet management, tailored to automotive brands and rental companies.

Today, the Ballsystem GreenPartner network is an open system that integrates with local communities and develops collaborative and cooperative relationships. It consists of over 200 affiliated operators working with full entrepreneurial autonomy to provide customers with innovative repair methods.
