Opening fleet and OEM accounts for a parts supplier with outbound

A components supplier depended on two large OEM contracts and wanted fleet operators and tier-one buyers across Europe. We built a targeted outbound programme to procurement and fleet decision-makers and automated the quote request handling that the new demand created.

The bottlenecks

  1. Bottleneck 1

    Customer concentration risk

    Two accounts made up most of revenue. Losing either would have been existential, and there was no active pipeline to replace them.

  2. Bottleneck 2

    Procurement buyers are hard to reach

    Generic emails to purchasing departments were ignored. Buyers respond to specific part categories, certifications and lead times.

  3. Bottleneck 3

    Quote requests were answered slowly

    When enquiries did arrive, pricing involved engineering, so replies took days and some prospects went cold.

What we built

  1. Step 1

    Account-based targeting

    Fleet operators, tier-one suppliers and aftermarket distributors were mapped by country and part category. Decision-makers were identified through Sales Navigator and verified.

  2. Step 2

    Category-specific messaging

    One master sequence with variables for part family, certification and lead time, in German and English, with a reply-based call to action.

  3. Step 3

    Quote request automation

    Inbound quote requests are parsed by AI into part numbers and quantities, checked against the price book, and drafted for engineering sign-off within the hour.

  4. Step 4

    Reply handling and meetings

    Our team qualifies replies, books calls with the sales director, and logs everything in the CRM.

Questions clients ask about this engagement

Do you handle German-language outreach?

Yes. Sequences are written natively in the target language and replies are handled by team members who speak it.

How do you avoid damaging our domain reputation?

Outreach runs from dedicated domains with warm-up and bounce controls. Your primary domain is never used for cold email.

Lead response and booking automation

Dealer leads answered in minutes and test drives booked automatically

Leads from the website, marketplaces and OEM portals went to a shared inbox and waited for a rep. We built an AI response layer that replies within minutes, answers stock and finance questions from live inventory, and books test drives into the showroom calendar.

Service retention automation

Service reminders that bring 31 percent more cars back to the dealer

A dealer group was losing service customers to independents after the warranty period. Reminders were a monthly batch letter and a call centre that reached one in five. We built a workflow that times reminders to each vehicle’s real mileage and MOT date, books slots over WhatsApp, and turns recall notices into revenue.

Warranty and claims automation

Warranty claims settled in days, not quarters, for a tier-1 supplier

A tier-1 supplier received thousands of OEM warranty claims a year as PDFs, portal exports and returned parts. A team of twelve reviewed each one by hand, and disputed claims took months to resolve. We built an AI claims pipeline that classifies, validates and drafts responses, with engineers focused on the claims that actually need them.

B2B lead generation for fleet leasing

Winning corporate fleet accounts for a vehicle leasing company

A leasing company competing with bank-owned giants needed mid-size corporate fleets, the accounts large enough to matter and small enough to switch. We built outbound around fleet renewal cycles, electrification mandates and new depot openings, and the sales team spent its time on proposals instead of prospecting.
