“ The AuDaCon benchmark analysis
is the best way to determine successful
as well as difficult times. ”
Ralf Pelkmann, director: Data Development of AuDaCon AG
An example of “useful” information is that which is used to plot
the position of a company within the market-place. “Parameters
like procurement costs, depreciation, follow-up costs, fuel
consumption, service schedules and costs for maintenance
and repair (in brief SMR costs) are not all comparable with
competitors,” explains Ralf Pelkmann, director of Data Development
of AuDaCon. “There is therefore no definitive view of
one’s market position.”
AuDaCon AG is a European-wide operating information specialist
for the automotive industry. Raw data and information is
processed and analyzed by AuDaCon AG to meet the information
needs of every sector of the automobile and spare parts
industry, service companies, fleets, insurers, credit grantors
and lessors.
The benchmark analysis is the best way to determine success
as well as difficult times according to Pelkmann, and expanding
market acceptance and maintaining sales figures require a continuous
and precise view of the competitive environment. AuDaCon
generates benchmark reports through comparing its customer’s
performance against those of its competitors in the market-place.
Report parameters can be set individually by the clients to suit their
particular needs at the time. The detailed analysis using information
supplied directly from the client’s systems displays individual
spare parts, including appropriate pricing and OEM work-position

but needs to be processed before it becomes useful.
