Press Release: Acresta announces Toyota as latest BlinkMobile customer at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2015

GARTNER SYMPOSIUM/ITxpo, GOLD COAST, 27 October 2015 – Acresta announced today at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2015 that they have implemented the award-winning Blink Mobility Platform for Toyota. Acresta worked with Toyota to replace the current ‘manual’ spreadsheet process of assessing dealer Standards, carried out across 276 sites twice a year. The mobile forms solution has increased the ease of data capture capability by removing the need for the double handling of data and photos, previously manually entered and uploaded. Acresta has also provided near real-time updating of the existing in house system via API integration between the mobile application and the database.

Simon Dorrat, Manager Strategy Architecture and Innovation of Toyota said: “The mobilising of this process is not only targeted at reducing the manual effort involved but importantly it gives our national franchise management visibility of the data almost immediately. Previously there was a significant time lag (5-7 days) due to manual entry and this limited our ability to kaizen (improve continuously) the dealer operations with timely feedback. The combination of Blink and Acresta ably supported an agile approach to developing this solution.”

Fadi Geha, CEO of Acresta commented, “I am delighted to welcome Toyota as our latest BlinkMobile customer and see them achieve immediate business improvements by adopting a mobile strategy for their workforce, involving forms that connect to Toyota’s in-house system.”
