The wake-up call for integrated manufacturer-dealer ecosystems
Caravaning is growing – but processes are lagging behind in many places. Our whitepaper shows how manufacturers can use API standards to measurably improve collaboration with dealers and noticeably  accelerate service.

Why act now?

The caravaning market remains robust: in 2024, 96,392 recreational vehicles were newly registered in Germany, and industry revenue was around €15.1 billion – one of the best results ever. At the same time, the normalization of supply chains has led to temporarily high inventory levels and price pressure.
 

The core problem – and the chance

Fragmented, manual processes between manufacturers and dealers generate an annual "digital tax" of over €30 million – including in warranty processing, spare parts logistics, and sales configuration. The opportunity: a shared, standardized API approach between manufacturer systems and dealer DMS (Dealer Management Systems).

What to expect

  • Orientation: Why integrated digital ecosystems are now the decisive competitive advantage.
  • Focus areas: Where efficiency materializes fastest.
  • Roadmap: A pragmatic plan for the implementation of API standards – phased, scalable, ROI-oriented.
  • Practical insights: Learnings from real-world implementations.
     

Who is the Whitepaper relevant for?

  • Manufacturers who want to make their dealer network more efficient, more loyal, and more data-driven.
  • Dealers / Service operations who want to reduce turnaround times, improve cash flow, and accelerate customer communication.
  • IT / Operations who are planning integration projects with clear interfaces and solid added value.
