The agreement will see KCS Automotive introduce AutoSmart Audit to UK OEMs, dealer groups and other automotive businesses looking to modernise how audits are carried out, tracked and actioned across their operations.
Already used by automotive OEMs and dealer groups across various international markets, AutoSmart Audit helps organisations move away from paper-based and spreadsheet-led processes by providing a more structured digital approach to audits.
The platform supports configurable checklists, real-time evidence capture, action planning and live dashboard reporting - helping organisations improve visibility, consistency and follow-through across multiple sites. It is designed to support a wide range of audit types, including dealer standards, infrastructure & process audits, mystery audits and compliance checks, all within a single unified platform.
Through the new partnership, KCS Automotive will work with UK automotive businesses looking to strengthen operational control, improve audit quality and create a clearer view of performance across dealership and group activities.
The partnership also marks the start of an early adopter phase in the UK, with KCS Automotive and AutoSmart Audit now looking to speak with forward-thinking businesses that want to be among the first to implement an already proven platform in this market.
Naseef Umar, Founder of AutoSmart Audit, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with KCS Automotive as an official reseller in the UK. KCS brings valuable experience in automotive retail, strong customer relationships and a clear understanding of the operational pressures businesses face. We believe they are the right partner to introduce AutoSmart Audit to the UK market and support customers looking to improve audit visibility, accountability and action.”
Ritchie Kelk, Director at KCS Automotive, said: “This partnership gives us the opportunity to bring a proven digital audit management platform to the UK automotive sector at a time when many businesses are looking for greater consistency, clearer reporting and less manual effort. What stands out with AutoSmart Audit is its ability to support the full process - from completing audits in the field to tracking actions and giving management better visibility of what needs attention. We are excited to be working with AutoSmart Audit and are now looking to speak with early adopters in the UK who want to be part of the first phase of its growth in this market.”
UK automotive businesses interested in learning more about AutoSmart Audit or taking part in the early adopter phase in the UK are invited to contact KCS Automotive via info@kcs-automotive.com for further information.
