People, Purpose, and Processes
At the heart of every Lean Dealers transformation
Our Story
Lean Dealers was born from a passion for transforming operations and developing people. Founded by specialists with decades of experience in the automotive sector, our mission is to elevate the efficiency and performance of dealerships and distributors across Latin America.
We believe that true transformation happens when we unite capable People, a clear Purpose, and efficient Processes. We are not just consultants — we are partners committed to the sustainable success of our clients.
Our work spans consulting, on-site and online training programs (Lean Dealers Academy), corporate lectures, and digital tools such as the Lean Dealers Kanban (Digital Board) for real-time visual management.
Our Mission
Delighting our customers by delivering solutions that are dramatically better than anything they have seen before.
We transform companies into Lean enterprises so they can create more value for their customers — without delays, inefficiencies, or other forms of waste — ultimately improving employee satisfaction and delivering stronger outcomes for shareholders.
