RWA Wins ‘IT Innovation of the Year in Data’ at Motor Trader Awards 2025!

We’re thrilled to announce that RWA Automotive’s Weekly Flash Report has been crowned IT Innovation of the Year in Data at the prestigious Motor Trader Awards 2025!

This award is a celebration of our commitment to transforming automotive retail performance through impactful data-driven insights and advanced automotive retail analytics.

Driving success for our retailer partners.

At RWA Automotive, we proudly support over 450 dealership rooftops across the UK with cutting-edge automotive business intelligence solutions and dealership performance benchmarking tools. Our mission is simple: empower our retailer partners to achieve measurable growth and outperform the market.

Our award-winning innovation, the Weekly Flash Report, is designed to do exactly that.

This powerful benchmarking tool delivers clear, actionable insights across sales, aftersales, and parts - helping retailer partners compare performance against peers and identify opportunities faster than ever before.

Why the Weekly Flash Report stands out.

The Weekly Flash Report is more than just dealership analytics - it forms a core part of our automotive BI platform, allowing leaders to access real-time dealership reporting and compare performance across their entire retailer network.

• Real-time market visibility: No more waiting for month-end reports. Retailer partners get weekly updates to react quickly to trends.
• Benchmarking beyond brand composites: See how you stack up against the wider market, not just your own brand.
• Actionable insights for growth: Identify whether performance dips are market-driven or internal and take immediate steps to improve.
• Celebrating best practice: Your top performers shine every week and will inspire other members of your team to raise the bar.

Our consultative approach.

What truly sets RWA Automotive apart is our partnership mindset. We don’t just deliver automotive data, we work side by side with retailer partners to turn insights into results.

Our Customer Success team collaborates closely with dealerships to set KPIs, run workshops, and implement process improvements using our dealer performance dashboards. When benchmarks reveal untapped opportunities, we help retailer partners seize them, driving profitability and operational excellence.

Proven impact across the network.

The results speak for themselves:

• 250,000 reports delivered annually.
• 372,420 active subscriptions.
• Over 2 million hours of performance insights provided.

Retailer partners using the Weekly Flash Report consistently achieve higher profits, streamlined processes, and greater agility in responding to market conditions.

One of the clearest impacts is seen in Aftersales. Weekly benchmarking encourages teams to act early, experiment, and track the results in real time.

That behaviour is translating into meaningful gains: VHC check rates have risen from 80% in 2024 to 82% so far this year, and for a workshop with 500 monthly throughputs, a single percentage point improvement can unlock £8,000 in added annual revenue.

At the same time, workshop efficiency has moved from 98% to 101%, and every extra percentage point for a workshop with 1,500 attended hours represents around £12,000 additional yearly income.

These improvements aren’t accidental; they’re the product of visibility, accountability and clear, comparable benchmarks.

What this award means to us and you.

Winning IT Innovation of the Year in Data is more than an accolade.

It’s a validation of our purpose: helping retailer partners succeed.

This award reinforces our commitment to delivering automotive business intelligence tools and dealership analytics solutions that unlock growth, reward best practices, and inspire continuous improvement.

We’re excited to keep innovating and supporting our partners with solutions that make a measurable difference.
