CAR BODY REPAIR SHOPS IN SPAIN; complete lack of structure...!!

It's a sector with an enormous potential, the independent Car Body Repair Shops (talleres de chapa y pintura) in Spain. Thousands of  profesional companies, big and smaller, prepaired to work hard but without structure.

It looks like big clients like insurance- and lease companies are just forgetting them, because it's so hard to find them. There is no organization which represents them (like a national)........ but it's going to change!

STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is offering them a structure, to make them visible and help them in the battle in a suffering market. A structure where improvement of quality, complete transparency of processes, advanced automation, professional training and local and national marketing come together. We are creating a network of Car Body Repair Shops all over Spain, to form a serious player on this market and an interesting partner for insurance- and lease companies, fleetowners and private persons.

"THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL"

Bit by bit the expansion of Stolwijk Consultancy is becoming reality. A lot of thinking, a lot of meetings and presentations in the last months, but it's clear....... the opportunities coming my way are there with a purpose. I can't let them slip out of my hands with the excuse that my organizationn is too small, or the fact that a day only has 24 hours, etc. etc.
So, the expansion of Stolwijk Consultancy will be reality soon. An expansion without loosing personal contact with relations, without giving in on quality. Expansion with the objective to be more efficient, being able to offer more services with a better quality and being flexible and advanced.
Coming 2 weeks some important meetings, and than the strategy and policy are ready to unroll..... Stolwijk Consultancy, a new, progressive, revolutionairy consultancy organization is ready to surprise Spain!

BACK IN BUSINESS!!

After a removal, as well private as business-wise, we are "back in business". From my new office, 20 minutes from downtown Barcelona but with views on the beautiful mountains of the Montseny, I'm picking up the activities I (partly) had to leave for a week or two.

Now, with my battery charged, we are prepared to face the 8 months the year 2011 leaves us; a period of opportunities passing by, ready to be picked up. A year of growth in many ways, in spite of (or thanks to...?)the crisis in Spain. Crisis brings possibilities, crisis is an ideal period for start ups, but it requires flexibility, power and energy.

I'm very happy with the fact that I possess these 3 qualities; and it pleases me even more that in this year 2011 I find myself surrounded with people & organizations who have the same qualities, allowing me to build up some very special projects in the coming year(s).

We'll be in touch soon....!!!

Professionalization Back-office systems in Spanish automotive sector

Although the quality of the average Spanish bodyshop (repair and painting of cars) is improving considerably, there is still a  lot to win on the administrative / management side of the sector; efficiency, cost saving, management reviews, process control and transparency........ a proven Back-office system can mean a huge added value for every serious company on the Spanish automotive market, but also for groups of companies colaborating in a certain area or all over Spain.

At this moment STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY is talking with a few high level providers of Back-office and ERP providers; we are setting out to enter the Spanish market with a revolutionary Back-office system during this year 2011!! 

Besides of the product quality, we require more of a future partner besides providing a Back-office system. Kewords are flexibility, eagerness, future and strategy. For STOLWIJK CONSULTANCY the year 2011 will mean growth; not only in sales and turnover, but more in reliability and possibilities.
We want to become an authority on the Spanish automotive market, and the best partner  for all the Spanish bodyshops in the field of Quality Management, Market Strategy and Process Control.......

At short notice we will reveal our new partner.........

Hasta pronto!!
