Toyota Motors Mystery Shopper App

In 2015, Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc., approached Driving Force with a request to build a proprietary version of our Stealth Shopper Digital Mystery Shopping application. This specially-branded application required role-based access control so that everyone in the Toyota organization, from corporate executives at Toyota’s US headquarters to salespeople at individual Toyota dealerships could view comparative sales performance metrics at various regional levels based on user roles.

The images below are taken from a presentation given to executives at Toyota Headquarters in Torrance, CA. They feature various detailed views of the retooled Stealth Shopper application, insights into the functionality of the application, and infographic design examples. Feel free to check out the entire PowerPoint presentation, too.
