Challenge
The AMAG Group, one of Switzerland’s leading car retail companies, enjoys an outstanding reputation for excellent customer service and high-quality vehicles. As a diverse group representing a wide range of automotive brands, AMAG has established itself as a market leader. However, the Body & Paint department faced several challenges:
-
There were recurring delays in meeting promised completion dates.
-
The cause was identified as incorrect prioritization of the painting sequence.
-
This led to inefficient workflows in paint preparation.
Solution: Dynamic Scheduling
By introducing the AI-driven planning solution aspaara®, the workshop achieved systematically better job prioritization. This allows the Body & Paint division to dynamically adapt its processes to the workshop’s current needs, improve the sequencing of jobs, and thus meet more completion dates on time. at each Body & Paint location, aspaara® was implemented within 8 weeks, and today it boosts the overall efficiency of the entire group.
-
Jobs are now dynamically prioritized by AI, taking into account the required effort, target completion date, and employee qualifications.
Clear Overview
In addition, MatchingCore® provided a clear overview of every process step, which significantly improved internal communication and collaboration within the workshop.
As a result, key operational metrics were sustainably improved:
-
Resource utilization was increased by +4%.
-
Paint booth utilization is now +16% higher.

Utilization
aspaara® was rolled out as the central Bodyshop Management System (BMS) in over 35 AMAG workshops across Switzerland.
Today, aspaara® is revolutionizing job prioritization and workflows across the entire group. Internal communication and efficiency are therefore being sustainably increased.
