JS Showcases Drive Time Data at Automechanika 2018

Preparations are underway to visit Automechanika in a few days time. The 3 day event is being held from 5th - 7th June.

As well as visiting the SMMT stand and meeting clients, we'll be showcasing our recently added drive time data. 

The existing Autosites application allows users to visually interpret the hundreds of live data changes that occur every month across the dealership networks.  Until recently, the application had been able to show the proximity of sites by radius. 

Adding the functionality of drive times to Autosites uncovers a whole new dimension to the current mapping, and helps users to improve the context of what they are visualising.

We've not stopped there either.  We are just finalising the incorporation of registration make/model data.

This will give clients access to queries and additional detail, such as make, body type, engine size, vehicle age, colour etc.

The efficient targeting of service and repair facilities, where to locate new and used car dealerships, or even identify redundant sites is now possible within one web-based application.

If anyone attending the show is interested in seeing how the system works and the level of queries available, we'd be more than happy to sit down over a cup of coffee and demonstrate how easy it is to get at the data.

We hope you enjoy the show.
