Recreational Vehicles

Caravaning is one of the fastest-growing lifestyle segments, blending mobility, tourism, and outdoor experience. Yet the industry faces rising complexity: supply chain volatility, electrification, digital sales channels, and increasingly demanding customers. Dealer networks are evolving from family-run businesses to professional retail ecosystems – requiring new capabilities and operational excellence. We support manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers end-to-end: from strategic positioning and go-to-market design to execution, sales optimization, and dealer coaching.

Let’s unlock the full potential of caravaning, together.

Key challenges

Evolving customer expectations
Buyers today expect a seamless digital experience that spans from online research to post-purchase support. They also demand transparent pricing and personalized options that reflect their lifestyle, travel habits, and individual preferences.

Dealer network professionalization:
Traditional dealerships must evolve by adopting structured sales processes and digital tools that enhance customer engagement and operational efficiency. Consistent performance standards across the network are essential to build trust and deliver a unified brand experience.

Supply chain volatility:
Global disruptions in supply chains challenge manufacturers to maintain reliable sourcing and delivery timelines. This volatility requires agile planning and diversified supplier strategies to ensure production continuity and customer satisfaction.

Multibrand consolidation
The presence of multiple brands within a single dealership can dilute brand identity and confuse customers. Manufacturers and dealers must clarify brand positioning and align their offerings to specific customer segments to strengthen loyalty and recognition.

Omnichannel retail transformation:
Brands need to integrate physical showrooms, trade events, and digital platforms into a cohesive customer journey. A unified retail experience across all channels enhances engagement and supports customers throughout their decision-making process.
