TCS to drive growth strategy of Carnation Auto

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), today said that it has been chosen by Carnation Auto to provide end-to-end system integration services.

The multi-year agreement envisages TCS as the full-service provider responsible for enterprise IT solution implementation, the company said in a press release here.

TCS would also provide business consulting, technology implementation and support to Carnation Auto.

Carnation Auto is promoted by former Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki, Jagdish Khattar.

It is setting up a chain of multi-brand auto solutions and sales 'hubs' with services like maintenance, insurance, CNG/LPG retrofitment, body and paint, accessories and DC Design, amongst others, under one roof for various auto brands.

Carnation would also retail new and certified pre-owned vehicles. It plans to set-up about 100 multi-brand auto solution hubs in the next four years.

Carnation would be heavily banking on technology to retain its key differentiation and reduce time-to-market.

The IT infrastructure TCS is setting up would be scalable and integrated to include all aspects of auto retail and repair business like forecasting, inventory management, sales, HR, CRM and payroll.
