2024 is just around the corner, so we’re taking this opportunity to reflect on all the award-winning Automotive Transformation Group customers and partners announced in 2023.
Not only did Santander secure 'Best use of Technology' at the Credit Strategy Car Finance Awards, but Mercedes-Benz Oman also won 'Best Digital Customer Experience', while so many of our Retail and Enterprise clients won big at this year’s AM, Motor Trader and FN50 Awards. Our partners also did well with Phyron winning 'IT Innovation of the Year' in the Video Category and iVendi securing the same in Compliance.
