The system is designed to make each stage of the customer journey, from booking a service appointment to post-service feedback, faster and more personalized.<\/p>\n<p>Vehicle owners get a unified portal where they can track service updates in real-time, view invoices, and access a full service history through a unified customer portal.<\/p>\n<p>SKYLine replaces legacy systems with a decentralized architecture in which each dealership operates on its own Zoho CRM solution. This gives individual dealers the flexibility to tailor their workflows to their operations, while aligning with brand standards and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>The system integrates with the automaker\u2019s global HQ infrastructure through a middleware layer powered by Zoho\u2019s workflow orchestration tool, Qntrl.
