HSO Brand Standards

What are HSO Brand Standards?

HSO Brand Standards are essential requirements that centres must meet to maintain their status as approved franchises.

The current aftersales and sales standards encompass a comprehensive array of requisites, including up-to-date organisation charts, employee logins, brand signage, demonstration logs, and stationery requirements.

These standards extend to staff training, software updates, online services, parts separation, parts location and shelf life.

Key areas such as customer feedback, mystery shopping, meetings, policies, customer complaints, ASQP (quality checks), tools Infoweb, mandatory tools and equipment, battery car care programme, calibration, site maintenance, cleanliness, preservation of parts, and accurate completion of all relevant documentation like job cards and deal files are also covered.

Prince’s is actively engaged with numerous centres on a monthly and quarterly basis to uphold these standards and avoid audit bottlenecks.

Our consultants offer practical, friendly, and hands-on assistance, helping centres meet the stringent brand quality assurance requirements set by manufacturers.

Our services are competitively priced and have been exceptionally well received within the centre network, thanks to the consistently outstanding results achieved within tight timeframes.

This strong performance underscores our commitment to excellence and our capability to effectively support centres in maintaining high standards.
