How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

Service BOMs (SBOMs) used by dealership mechanics did not reflect mid model year engineering component supersessions.
Dealership technicians ordered incompatible replacement parts for vehicle repairs, resulting in repeated customer workshop visits and high warranty expense.
Service parts catalog updates lagged engineering ECO releases by up to 6 months, creating massive confusion across the global service network.
