Secure Liquidity, optimize results and reposition strategically

The German automotive trade is under pressure: foreign and geopolitical tensions, de-globalization and technological upheaval pose immense challenges.

The automotive industry of the backbone of the German economy, but it is increasingly faltering. Co2 regulations, the shift towards electromobility, global uncertainties and, last but not least, an increasingly gloomy economic performance are putting considerable pressure on companies, as German are reluctant to buy a new car. The result: stagnating sales figures and margins for the automotive trade.

oUR APPROACH: health check & Turnaround Programm

We support the automotive industry, including the automotive trade, with the H&C Health Check, in which we determine crisis stages, identify the need for action, detail measures and implement these together. The Health Check is the basis for a sustainable turnaround and includes and analysis of the company´s strategic, financial, economic and performance situation. 

The Transformational Trade Turnaround Program is particularly effective for companies in earnings and liquidity crisis, and has three clusters of levers: 

• Financial Stabilization: Quickly secure liquidity (e.g. immediate measures to secure liquidity such as working capital optimization and CAPEX efficiency)
• Operational improvement: Consistently optimize results (e.g. quality assurance measures to increase efficiency and performance management including store floor excellence)
• Strategic transformation: Set the strategic course early on (e.g. through optimized product cost calculations)

The future of the automotive industry is at stake. Companies must act now to secure their position in the market and strengthen their competitiveness in the long term.
