Functional areas:

Dealer Management System

The company has been using a SAP ERP system since three years. However, somemechanism
was needed at the dealers end to monitor and meet customer needs. SoTVS Motors stepped
in to ease it A's dealers Å burden by roping in Mind tree Consulting to customize a DMS for
its 450 dealers countrywide, which will be implemented by Wipro. "Each dealer would have
to cope up around a lakh and a half towards the project, which will include the charges for
the hardware infrastructure, software, and the support A". The DMS will have finance
management, inventory management, service, and customer analysis modules. It's not just
the dealers, but the parent company also stands to benefit in the long run. Issues like selection
of vendors, hardware, and maintaining network availability for the dealers were typical
challenges faced during the implementation. The company,which spends around Rs. 20-30
cores annually on IT, has put up its level 3 data centre recently, which now includes a call
centre. Although the concept of implementing a DMS is a new concept in the industry, its
inherent advantages are quickly bringing it in the limelight.

 As TVS is still not a household brand name, some of the respondents were not
completely aware of its products and track record.

FINDINGS

Ever since man evolved into social animal, he felt the need for “Transportation”.As he
formed a civilization, he felt the need for “Better Transportation”. Today on the threshold
of exploring the universe he feels the need of “Best Transportation”.

Truly the modern world relies on transportation which can be airways, roadways, railways
and on water. Bicycle was the most important part of road transportation in early days and as
the scenario changed bicycle was transformed into a fast, stylishand trendy mode of transport
known as Motorcycle nowadays known as Motorbike. Each human being that is living in
this social world knows theimportance of bikes because it serves the purpose in any kind of
situation and in any part of this world.

The topic of the project is Comparative study of Consumer Buying Behaviour in Motor
Bikes with reference to TVS Motors. TVS motor company is one of the leading bike
manufacturers in India. The analysis of the project was based on consumer’s point of view.
For the study, both primary data and secondary data were required. The primary data was
collected based on survey research, using a structured questionnaire with both open ended
and closed-ended questions.

The sampling procedure used was random sampling for the 1st objective i.e. to understand
consumer needs on motorbikes. For the 2nd objective i.e. to understand the awareness levels
of TVS, I went to the prospects and met the respondents to fillthe questionnaire. The mode
of survey was of personal interview, where therespondents filled up the questionnaires. The
secondary data was collected from business newspapers, magazines, Company brochures,
journals and the Internet. The major conclusion from this study was that TVS has to improve
itself to gain the 1st position in the market as it is doing well to maintain its 3rd position in
the market.

Government First Grade College 47


SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 In the analysis the respondents have shown that they consider TVS motor company after
HERO HONDA and BAJAJ and this is a major concern for the company. TVS motor
company has to make some arrangements to increase the awareness level among the
prospects through media.
 The company should also emphasize on other bikes excluding TVS STAR CITY and
TVS SPORT because some of the bikes in TVS like Apache RTR aremore popular than
these bikes in the surveyed area.
 In Global Tvs the respondents who have visited the dealership are not satisfiedwith the
service facilities which can be improved by regular visit of the servicemanagers as well
as providing regular training to the staff as well as the owner.
 The dealership in Nagarbhavi also lacks in space, which is a major concern because the
first impression on the mind of the customer is about the window display, which can be
improved with the help of the professionals.
 The buying behaviour of the customers in Global TVS is not focused on the celebrity
endorsement but they want a product which should contain all the factors and at an
affordable price.
 The customers in Global TVS want more number of dealers in their area so as to have
more options in visiting the dealership. Every dealership should have the same services
and excellent window display so as to attract more customers.
 As in the demographic phase of the respondents the younger generation wants to have a
bike with lot of power and style which TVS should come within future. As TVS has
launched its new bike VICTOR GLX in the market. TVS should improve its channel
management and should invest in the brand image in the market.

Government First Grade College 48


CONCLUSION

 The facts and figures shown in the analysis is correct and the survey has been done
in a good faith and responsibility
 As HERO HONDA, BAJAJ and YAMAHA have taken the 1st, 2nd and 3rd position.
Thus, TVS motor co. has to make some more efforts to increase the awareness among
the people in the context of bikes.
 The respondents have been asked about the most effective slogan in different brands
of bikes in which again HONDA and BAJAJ have taken the lead. TVS motor co. has
emphasized only on STAR CITY and not on other bikes, thus people only know
about STAR CITY and no other bikes. Print media and different types of media
should be used to make people know about the slogan.
 The respondents in the factors, which they consider while purchasing a bike, have
done the ranking. MILEAGE is the first factor following with POWER and STYLE
and also with an adaptable PRICE. The company has to make efforts for making a
product that should have all these three factors with considerable price.
 The most influencing factor in purchasing decision of the bike is FAMILY andafter
that FRIENDS which is not at all linked with the company investment. Thecompany
generally invests in Dealer promotion and Media, which is not appropriate as
analysed in this question. Awareness level through Media and dealer should be
increased.
 When asked about the experience at the TVS dealership most of the respondentshad a
good and average experience with a small number having bad experience.The small
number of bad experiences can be avoided by giving warm welcome and good
behaviour by the staff.
 The respondents who have not visited the TVS dealership are either notinterested in
TVS bikes or they are not satisfied with TVS products. In this matter the dealer
should increase the road shows as well as arrange regular customers meeting which
will create interests in other prospects.
 Most of the respondents had knowledge about the TVS bikes, which is a good sign
for the TVS motor company.
 In TVS motor company STAR CITY is the most popular bike and very interestingly
without any media interaction SPORT has taken the 2nd spot with

Government First Grade College 49


APACHE on the 3rd spot which has taken a lead with only one place from WEGO. It is
recommended that SPORT should be given equal sales promotionthan APACHE because of
its popularity has come through people network andnot through channel media.
 The respondents have liked the service facility and the staff but the important factor
is the lack of space. The dealership in New Delhi has to improve the staffas well as
the after sales services and the customer relations.
 Celebrity endorsement does not affect most of the respondents whereas only 34% of
the respondents have an affect over the purchasing decision of bike. Company should
give more importance to the product so as to give the best in quality to the customer.
 In context to popularity TVS ranks 3rd according to this sample size and thus the
company should introduce new products as well as reposition its product according
to the demand in the market.
 In the case of no price consideration TVS ranks 4th and according to survey analysis
the respondent wants to purchase his dream bike which TVS Companyhas to make in
comparison with HERO HONDA, BAJAJ and ENFIELDBULLET.

3. Digital leads about the product to customers through TVSWebsite
Authorized Dealer Websites: Many TVS authorized dealerships have their own websites
where they showcase available models, promotions, and dealership-specific information.
These websitesoften include contact forms or inquiry options for customers to reachout and
express interest in purchasing a vehicle.
In the context of a TVS showroom or any other automotive dealership, "digital leads" refer
to potential customers who express interest in purchasing a vehicle or obtaining more
information through digital channels. These channels could include thedealership's website,
social media platforms, online advertisements,email campaigns, or other digital marketing
initiatives.

Government First Grade College 59


When a prospective customer visits the dealership's website and submits a contact form, calls
a phone number listed online, interactswith the dealership's social media posts, or engages
with online advertisements, they generate a digital lead. The dealership's sales team then
follows up with these leads to convert them into actual vehicle sales.

Managing digital leads effectively involves promptly responding to inquiries, providing


relevant information about available vehicles, scheduling test drives, and nurturing the
relationship with the potential customer to guide them through the sales process. This often
involves using customer relationship management (CRM) software to track and manage
leads, automate follow-up communications, and analyse the effectiveness of digital
marketingefforts in generating sales opportunities.

In the context of a TVS showroom specifically, digital leads may pertain to individuals
interested in purchasing TVS two-wheelers orobtaining information about specific models,
promotions, financing options, and after-sales services offered by TVS. The showroom's
sales and marketing teams work together to leverage digital channelsto attract and engage
potential customers, ultimately driving sales and revenue for the dealership.
