Why one in three motor dealership groups choose Bistech

“The automotive industry is evolving at extraordinary speed“

The automotive industry is evolving at extraordinary speed. Through all this change, one thing has become increasingly clear: resilient, secure and high-performance technology infrastructure is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s mission critical.

That is why we are incredibly proud that one in three of the AM-Online Top 100 motor dealership groups now trust Bistech to deliver the services that underpin their operations. A milestone built not on marketing claims, but on decades of technical depth, industry understanding and doing things properly.

A partnership built on purpose, not products

For more than 20 years, we’ve worked alongside dealerships, manufacturers and multi-brand groups. Not simply as a technology provider, but as a strategic partner.

Across that journey, we’ve seen the pressures on dealerships grow:

Rising volumes of digital customer interactions
Growing cyber security risks
Increasing complexity around dealer standards compliance
The need for seamless connectivity across expanding networks
Greater reliance on cloud applications and integrated systems
Site flexibility to support brand changes and group expansion

As a result, our approach has always been the same. We listen first, design carefully, deliver flawlessly, and support without compromise – it is the same approach we have taken with Snows Motor Group.

Essentially, this philosophy has enabled us to build tailored, resilient and scalable solutions that directly address the challenges dealerships face today. This includes the ones they have not yet faced.

Trusted not just by motor dealership groups, but by manufacturers

In addition to our work with major motor groups, we’re also proud to be trusted by two global automotive manufacturers, delivering the critical network infrastructure that powers their UK operations.

This depth of responsibility reflects what we hear consistently from our automotive partners. They value our technical expertise, our reliability, and our commitment to getting things right, every time.

High performance managed network services

At the heart of our automotive success is our managed network portfolio – ensuring that dealerships, workshops, contact centres and remote operations stay connected, secure and performing at their best. Our work with LSH Auto is a great example of this in action.

Furthermore, from nationwide SD-WAN rollouts to modernising Unified Comms and Contact Centre platforms, our services give groups the confidence to operate efficiently in an increasingly digital world. And with our “World Class” NPS ratings across both support and project delivery, customers know they’re in safe hands from day one.

What comes next

As we move into 2026, our focus is clear:

Strengthening our position as the automotive sector’s trusted technology partner
Continuing to deliver secure, high-performance managed network services at scale
Sharing insights, expertise and learning opportunities with the industry
Helping dealerships turn technological potential into operational value

Most importantly, we’ll continue doing what has always set us apart: combining deep technical understanding with genuine partnership.

Driving automotive forward, together

Reaching the point where one in three motor dealership groups use our services is an achievement we’re immensely proud of. But it’s also a reminder of the responsibility we carry – and one we’re committed to honouring with the same dedication, expertise and collaboration that has defined our journey so far.

Here’s to another year of progress, partnership and pushing boundaries across the automotive sector.
