Periodic Maintenance Scenario

Periodic maintenance is recommended by the manufacturer and is known in advance of the scheduled event.

A dealership sold a vehicle to a customer a few months ago. Based on the common driving habits, the dealership has set up calculations to determine the average mileage the customer drives during a time period. Once the time period elapses, the Siebel Automotive PM engine automatically creates a PM action and generates an activity and a service request. The activity reminds the dealership to call the new customer and schedule an appointment for the recommended service. This scenario provides the dealership with an opportunity to gain revenue from the ongoing service associated with the vehicle.
