Wellington, in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Wellington indicated that Auto Dad is a tailored service specifically developed for the automobile industry. He also explained that automobile users could use Auto Dad to, amongst other things, locate automobile service providers nationwide, trade automobiles and parts as well as conduct other ancillary tasks such as checking and comparing prices, get real time information about dealers and service providers and the services or products that they offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have currently launched our service providers\u2019 platform which is one out of the four platforms we plan to implement and it sits on the sub-domain www.services.autodad.com.gh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This web application is ideal for automobile service providers such as auto repairers, locksmiths, car rental firms, fuel retail outlets (OMCs), driving schools, washing bays, and many more to use as a tool to reach their target market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is because it is a location-based system which service providers can use to aid their customers to locate their service centres with ease in real time and automobile users can also use it to access information about service providers in real time including getting directions to a provider via an online map functionality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On explaining why CLTi decided to pursue the idea, he explained that although Ghana\u2019s automobile industry is huge, there is still room to use digitisation as a catalyst to improve the industry in terms of service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are various challenges consumers are facing in the market such as the inability of consumers to get access to services or products without being physically in the market, difficulty in locating service providers with ease, inability to conduct price comparison for both automobile services and products such as spare parts without being physically in the markets as well as getting access to detailed real time information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese challenges are amongst issues Auto Dad is solving,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Auto Dad\u2019s vision is to become a world leader in making the world a better place through delivering perfect services and products for the automobile industry.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Saturday, 22 July 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-07-22 Auto Dad &#13; A start-up technology and investment company in Ghana, Comfortable Life Technologies and Investment (CLTi) Ltd, has launched an online service for the Ghanaian automobile market.
