Porsche Subscription Instead of Ownership
New mobility services complement traditional car sales. Porsche Consulting provides support for rapid testing of innovations.
Challenge
Lifelong Dream, Short-term Contract
Drive a Porsche? Sure, but make it flexible – with the option of changing the car on short notice or cancel the contract. Mobility expectations have changed, which is why car subscriptions are gaining traction on the market. According to an estimate by Porsche Consulting, the number of contracts concluded in 2021 was already over 50,000. To quickly test and sustainably establish the new business model, the innovation experts assisted their colleagues at Porsche Financial Services. The subsidiary is responsible for all Porsche mobility services.
Implementation
Test on the Market in a Matter of Weeks
Market studies have shown the massive potential of car subscriptions. Porsche sees it as a way to attract new and younger customer generations to the brand. With the service development approach from Porsche Consulting, it was possible to test new product and service innovations, with real customers, live on the market, in just a matter of weeks. The experts also helped build an agile product organization.
Result
Winning Over Younger Customers for Porsche
With the Porsche subscription, new and younger customer generations can get a start with the Porsche brand. As partners and guarantors of quality, Porsche Centers play an especially important role for the Drive subscription. Adapted, digitized processes and training courses prepared dealers for the new services. The biggest demand for the program currently is for the 911 and Taycan model lines. Managing Director Marc Riess hopes for significant gains in the future: “We expect significant growth rates not only in Germany, but also see potential in the USA and China. With our offerings, we are ideally positioned to offer our customers added value there as well.
