In a car group, numbers spin like a revving engine. Every salesperson has targets, every branch has objectives, and every day counts. But for years, Paesmans Autogroep was operating with a dashboard that lagged behind. Excel files, manual exports, and isolated pivot tables meant that no one really knew how fast—or in which direction—they were going. For an organization with seven branches, this became increasingly difficult. The question was asked more and more loudly: “Why don't we immediately see where we stand today?.
Driving without a meter? That's awkward.
Paesmans Autogroep is a multi-brand player in Limburg with Renault, Dacia, and BYD. The commercial operations are complex and always in motion: sales, inventory management, used cars, rentals, and local dealers. The figures were constantly changing, but were scattered across different files and systems.
Sales had to scramble for information, while insights should have been readily available in real time. In a competitive market, that's like driving without a speedometer or fuel gauge: you're moving forward, but with an uneasy feeling.
The wish was clear: reliable figures, always up-to-date, and without guesswork.
From driving lessons to permanent co-pilot
Paesmans engaged Scapta for a Power BI training. It quickly became clear that a single central reporting system could make a difference. What started as a short driving lesson grew into a permanent collaboration.
Scapta became more than a supplier: a co-pilot that thinks along, makes connections visible, and helps steer when objectives or systems change. Not isolated solutions, but a platform that continues to perform.
One dashboard, no more detours
Together, they built one central platform with Power BI that provides daily direction. Sales results, objectives, stock, and the performance of local distributors are now brought together in one clear dashboard.
This makes shifting easier:
- Objectives are clear per brand, vendor, and location
- Sellers can immediately see which vehicles are ready, en route, or almost delivered.
- Local distributors monitor their figures independently.
- Everyone drives with the same numbers, without discussion about who is right.
No more Excel files in the rearview mirror. One dashboard, straight ahead.
“We finally have reporting that is accurate every day.
No more surprises, and we can make adjustments much faster.”
Michael Vanzeir, Sales Director Paesmans Autogroep
A platform that grows with the route
The reporting platform evolves along with Paesmans. When priorities, brands, or systems change, everything is quickly and clearly adjusted. This keeps the organization on track, even when the road gets winding.
For Paesmans, reporting is no longer a brake today, but an engine for growth. Because whoever knows their numbers, drives with confidence and joy.
