Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Predictive Analytics Robots - Wheeled Robots
Applicable Industries	Automotive Telecommunications
Applicable Functions	Procurement Sales & Marketing
Use Cases	Smart Parking Vehicle-to-Infrastructure
Challenge	GoMechanic, India's first technology-enabled automobile service network, faced a significant challenge in maintaining a high lifetime value (LTV) to customer acquisition cost (CAC) ratio. The company operates in a market where customers have multiple options to cross-check service quality and pricing, leading to a complex purchase flow and high drop-offs. This resulted in significant cart abandonment that needed to be tracked and fixed. Additionally, the nature of the automobile service industry meant that customers planned their car service far in advance, leading to a long duration between the first and second service. This made it difficult to justify the CAC for users making only a single purchase. Read More
About Customer	GoMechanic is India's first startup that operates a network of technology-enabled automobile service centers. It is the only player in an unorganized automobile service market and is present in over 29 cities. The GoMechanic app offers 200+ services across 12 different categories, including car service, spares, and accessories.

With over 1 million downloads on the play store and a 4.7+ rating, GoMechanic is focused on its mobile app conversions. Read More
Solution	GoMechanic leveraged Branch's suite of products to deliver a flawless user experience, thereby increasing user app engagement and acquisition. They used Branch's deep linking and attribution solutions across their multichannel strategy, which includes web, social media, emails, SMS, and even print media. This helped drive user engagement and acquisition to its mobile app. For instance, GoMechanic used deep link-powered notifications to users who were abandoning their carts, driving them back to the app to complete their purchase. They also used Branch's mobile measurement partner (MMP) solution, Universal Ads, to accurately attribute its ad conversions across every channel and device. This allowed them to track each app install and conversion back to its true source and campaign. GoMechanic also used Branch's mobile linking platform (MLP) solution to power an app referral program, deep linked WhatsApp engagement, social media integration, promotion emails, SMS campaigns, push notifications, and QR codes.
