Following the shift to D2C vehicle sales model and the growing market for subscription-based services, OEMs need to offer payment methods to serve their customers. Seamlessly integrated payments across online store, infotainment and mobile app, ensure consistent customer experience.
Modern vehicles allow users to communicate and interact with them remotely. In order to do that, OEMs need to provide their clients with apps which improve the ownership experience by offering features like opening/closing the vehicle, controlling the AC, sending planned routes to infotainment or managing the charging schedule in case of EVs.
The ownership model is changing, moving away from owning vehicles and paying for features up front. Customers prefer to own products and use features when it’s convenient for them. So building solutions that enable the subscription-based ownership model is essential for OEMs.
Today’s vehicles are incredibly complex. There are hundreds of configuration options and features which differ between models, production year and markets. To efficently manage those, OEMs need modern solutions which also will be able to manage the configuration of after sales offers.
Many features on vehicles are now available as after sales purchases, be it adaptive headlights, heated steering wheel or hands-free driving. In order to activate these features in the vehicles, the OEMs need to build license avtivation & management systems.
Modern e-Commerce platforms need to be easy to navigate, fast and omnichannel.

From a software point of view, this subscription-based model enables vehicle manufacturers to offer their customers a wider range of features and options while also providing a steady revenue stream. It also allows for more frequent and efficient software updates, enhancing the functionality and performance of existing features.
This can provide customers with a more cost-effective and flexible option rather than paying for services or features up-front. Moreover, the integration of payments across different channels ensures a consistent experience.
