Stellantis launches Octago to support repair network
Stellantis has created joint venture Octago with MSX International to support its Eurorepar Car Service network (ERCS).
Bringing together Stellantis’s parts distribution strength and MSX International aftersales expertise, Octago will deliver more hands-on support across the ERCS, stronger connections to the Distrigo parts supply network, and access to better business tools.
Central to Octago’s model is a new team of dedicated performance managers who will work directly with ERCS members to analyse, advise and help optimise workshop operations. They will be focused on outcomes, identifying new commercial opportunities, addressing bottlenecks and supporting sustainable growth.
Now live across the UK with rollout continuing across its nine other European markets throughout the year, Octago will also introduce a new suite of tools and software designed to improve workshop efficiency, business management and customer service.
Dedicated expertise
Neil Gibbs, head of network at Eurorepar Car Service, said: “The independent aftermarket is at the heart of how millions of drivers keep their vehicles on the road, and Octago is committed to investing in it for the long term. This joint venture brings dedicated expertise, new technology and a stronger connection to our Distrigo network directly to our members.
“We’ve listened carefully to what our workshops need to grow their businesses, and this is the start of our response.”
