Automative
Automotive manufactures and original equipment manufacturers are struggling to streamline their operations, control costs, enhance productivity, and provide efficient vehicles. Legacy systems, processes, and policies are adding to this challenge. The automotive industry is also impacted by competitive pressures from globalization and lowering profit margins due to the rising cost of steel and gasoline. Automakers and suppliers who want to be winners in the inevitable shakeout of the industry must develop new strategies to succeed in this environment.
F1GSI can help clients address major trends in the industry, including the move to global platforms, the contraction of the supplier base, 
the increase in foreign production in North America, the increased outsourcing of design, engineering and assembly to large suppliers, and the outsourcing of non-critical business processes such as IT, accounting and human resources. With our deep understanding of the automotive domain, we are uniquely positioned to increase customer's operational efficiency, profitability, market presence, and to build lasting customer relationships.
Aftermarket warranty claims and vehicle recalls are another major cost consideration for automobile and truck makers and their tier-one suppliers. These costs, which run to the billions of dollars every year, can be reduced through more effective management combined with robust quality information systems. F1GSI can help organizations by providing custom and established applications, based on customer requirements, to effectively manage dealer monitoring & ordering systems, used car systems, inquiry-tracking systems, and online-buying systems.
