Glasurit® optimizes body shops resource planning with the software aspaara® AI

Glasurit is elevating digital transformation in body shops with the introduction of AI-powered planning through a new collaboration with aspaara AI®. By combining Glasurit’s comprehensive service portfolio with aspaara AI’s planning intelligence and consultancy services, customers can unlock a new level of performance across their entire body shop operations.

The introduction of advanced, AI‑supported planning capabilities through aspaara AI® elevates Body Shop BOOST, integrating an intelligent AI copilot that transforms workshop planning and, together with Glasurit premium refinish brand and services, improves operational efficiency. In many cases, aspaara AI® is identified as a high-impact solution within structured BOOST assessments, helping body shops address specific operational bottlenecks. This integration connects digital color matching, automated mixing systems, and AI‑driven workshop management into seamless workflows, supporting improved efficiency, shorter turnaround times, and sustainable profitability. With this unique offering, the Body Shop BOOST program stands out as a key solution for body shops seeking a structured framework for comprehensive planning and continuous development.

“We continue to be the partner of choice for customers looking to lead change. Building on the strong results we are already seeing in other EU countries, our collaboration with aspaara AI® unlocks significant potential for AI powered, predictive planning across Europe, helping body shops boost efficiency and transform their workshop operations,” states Roar Solberg, Vice President Sales EMEA at BASF Coatings.

Dr. Alexander Grimm, CEO of aspaara, adds: “Body shops across Europe face the same core challenge: planning complexity that limits throughput, drops punctuality, and puts pressure on already stretched teams. aspaara AI brings the intelligence layer that solves this — and we’re proud to deliver it through strong partners like BASF Coatings who share our commitment to transforming body shop operations.” aspaara AI® is available both as part of Body Shop BOOST and as a standalone solution, complemented by consulting services that support customers in identifying and realizing optimization potential.

"Internal data and studies show that processing times are often 19% longer than necessary, paint booth utilization is 16% below optimal, and up to 20% of customer appointments are not met. By combining Glasurit’s deep process expertise and efficiency improvement programs with aspaara AI®, we can help our customers to be equipped for the future with a powerful combination of smart processes and intelligent workshop planning. It gets exciting to see the increased team’s efficiency when aspaara AI® unleashes its AI superpower with our premium brand Glasurit and measurably increases throughput in operations," says Dr. Kaan Menekse, Head of Strategic Account Management DACH at BASF Coatings Services AG.
