With 14 locations, brands like Renault, Dacia, Ford, and Etrusco, 290 employees, and an annual sales of €140 million, the Hermann Group is one of the leading retail groups in the region. To future-proof its growing structures, the company was looking for a solution that would standardize payment processes across locations, create more transparency, and optimize collaboration between departments.

Challenge: complex workflows and manual processes

Before the introduction of Aufinity, payments were often difficult to assign, reminders had to be created manually, and money laundering checks were quite time-consuming. Different workflows in sales, service, and accounting led to a high level of coordination effort and a lack of transparency.

The solution: Aufinity as a central component

With the implementation of Aufinity, payment processes have been completely digitized and can now be managed centrally. Customers can now pay their invoices easily and flexibly in advance or on site – via link, card, smartphone, or smartwatch. Thanks to the integration into the existing CRM system, payments are automatically assigned to the correct customer account, which significantly reduces the workload for accounting.

Results: increased efficiency and customer satisfaction

The Hermann Group benefits from noticeable improvements in everyday business:

  • Faster payment receipts: up to 9 days earlier in sales
  • Automated dunning: less manual effort
  • Digital document dispatch: more efficient processes and better service for customers
  • Optimized collaboration: all departments work transparently in one system

According to Jan Scholz, authorized signatory and commercial director of the Hermann Group, a particular highlight is the central dashboard, which provides a clear overview of open and closed transactions at all times.

Conclusion: More time for the essentials

With Aufinity, the Hermann Group has made its payment processes future-proof, efficient, and customer-friendly. The result: less administrative effort, more transparency, and more time for what matters most – the customers.
