Challenge
Sales outpaced service capacity within 18 months of launch. Parts were air-freighted ad-hoc, wait-times hit weeks, and warranty claims piled up unprocessed — customer satisfaction collapsed.
A Chinese EV brand was selling strongly but bleeding customers on wait-times and warranty friction across five SEA markets.
Challenge
Sales outpaced service capacity within 18 months of launch. Parts were air-freighted ad-hoc, wait-times hit weeks, and warranty claims piled up unprocessed — customer satisfaction collapsed.
Approach
Designed a tiered service-network model (hub / satellite / mobile), built a regional parts-distribution flow, standardized warranty policy per market, and rolled out a dealer enablement and certification program.
Result
Onboarded 120+ outlets across five markets, cut average repair turnaround by 42%, and lifted CSAT from 34 to 71 within two cycles. The brand renewed distributor exclusivity based on service performance.
If this case sounds like your situation, let’s talk about how the same thinking could apply to your market and stage.
