On average, people today spend two and a half years of their lives in the car. Added to this, a further two years go on shopping. CarCommerce makes it easy to combine both activities as a way of winning back precious time for doing other things in life.

In January, at CES in Las Vegas, IAV is presenting Drive2Shop, a unique CarCommerce platform. Drive2Shop immediately makes vehicles an essential part of the newly emerging smart cities. Connected with local retailers and service providers, the platform finds sought products and services and orders them. Navigated directly to the next supplier or provider, this lets consumers check off their shopping list while out on the road.

Unlike mail order, there is no need to invest leisure time looking for and ordering products. Instead of waiting ages for them to be sent or having to pick them up from a parcel depot, they can opened, inspected and, if they fail to meet expectations, given back straight away.

This link gives car manufacturers modern added value for their vehicles and provides valuable and high-frequency communication with the customer.

For brick-and-mortar retailers and service providers reliant on omnichannel sales in the age of digital markets, CarCommerce will create a sales market worth billions. The new sales network gives them access to a customer segment that has previously bypassed retailers.

Ultimately, society in general will benefit from the intelligent shopping assistants: through fewer journeys, resulting in significantly lower emissions, such as CO2, pollutants and noise, as well as much-reduced fuel consumption.

Time is the most valuable asset in our society, and in no other place do people spend as much time doing nothing as in the car. Autonomous driving may resolve this contradiction in the future - but why should it not already be possible to spend time in the car efficiently and safely?

Drive2Shop brings the solution: the automobile as a digital marketplace, where drivers and their families are connected with the shops around them and can make purchases easily.

This is not just beneficial for customers, who will save precious time. Businesses can also get in contact with the customer before purchase, while automobile manufacturers can build permanent digital relationships with their customers - which is completely new in terms of quality and frequency. Long-term benefits to society as a whole: Drive2Shop makes cities more liveable and protects the environment.

How it works? Simple. Intuitive. And above all: reliable. Drive2Shop turns the car into an assistant in everyday life which networks the driver with their environment and enables them to handle everyday tasks.

The system aligns the offerings of local businesses with the wishes of the customer, which are collected in the cloud in advance or spontaneously, by voice input, during the ride. If there is a match, the driver is given the best possible proposal.

The driver can order the desired product and collect it right away; the car navigates the driver directly to the shop. Payment is made when the customer arrives - it’s very straight¬forward via a secure transaction from the vehicle. The customer picks up their order by Click & Collect, without having to leave the car.

The driver can either operate the system via voice input or touch. It is constantly available (provided there is an adequate internet connection), both in the vehicle as well as via an app on smartphones or tablets.

IAV Automotive Engineering is responsible for the visionary ideas driving the development of Drive2Shop and technical know–how for the automotive industry. Concardis, the leading payment service provider in Europe, guarantees secure and easy payment processing.
