That is why ROI have put together a service for its clients that allows different options to be taken by the manufacturer to ensure the ‘open’ territory is managed appropriately.

Honda was ROI’s first manufacturer contract back in 2005 and since then they have been to Tender three times to re-evaluate whether we are still the right partner. In the most recent competitive pitch, ROI was against five other companies in a three3-stage process.
