"Management of client work must be localized to provide a rapid response time and thorough understanding of the complexities of each country, "said John Frith, vice president, Asia-Pacific region of Urban Science. "The Shanghai regional office places us at the economic heart of Asia-Pacific growth where we can efficiently monitor and provide network, site and customer solutions to our clients."
The new office will support Asian automakers with customized solutions for the identification of optimal retail site locations, network assessment and improvement, and more efficient lead qualification. Operations will be led by Ken Habich, who came to Urban Science from Ford Sales and Service Thailand in Bangkok.
