mTab is an automotive market research and consumer insights platform for OEMs and brands. It turns brand trackers, buyer and owner studies, and market data into decisions: Pulse monitors consideration, pricing, incentives, competitor moves and EV sentiment by segment and model, and tells each team what changed, why it matters and what to do next.

Decisions mTab supports in automotive

  • Where to compete by segment and model as the powertrain mix shifts
  • How to respond when a competitor changes price, incentives or messaging
  • Which quality and experience issues to fix first, and for which owners
  • How to position a launch against what buyers now expect
  • What the next campaign should say as brand health moves

What Pulse monitors

  • Brand health and consideration
  • Buyer behavior and intent
  • Pricing and incentives
  • Competitive movement
  • EV and hybrid sentiment
  • Segment shifts
  • Owner satisfaction and quality
  • Product launches

Where signals get missed today

  • A three-wave decline in consideration that only appears when the tracker is cut by segment
  • Owner studies and the brand tracker flagging the same infotainment issue, read by different teams
  • A competitor's regional incentive, reported by dealers two weeks after it launched

What Pulse surfaces

Signals Pulse surfaces for automotive teams

Market Shift

EV consideration fell 4.2 points among first-time buyers for the third consecutive wave

Why it matters

The decline is concentrated in the segment the 2027 volume plan depends on, and hybrid consideration rose in the same cohort.

What to do next: Brief product planning on a hybrid-consideration gap study before the roadmap review.

Research Finding

Owner study verbatims and the brand tracker point to the same infotainment concern

Why it matters

Two studies commissioned separately now confirm each other. Infotainment reliability is a top-three loyalty driver for first-year owners.

What to do next: Synthesize both studies into one finding and route it to product quality with the evidence attached.

Competitor

A rival gained 3.1 points on perceived reliability among compact SUV intenders

Why it matters

Reliability is the attribute your brand has led on for six waves. The gap closed where you are growing fastest.

What to do next: Share the attribute cut with brand and schedule a reliability proof-point review.

Illustrative signals

Halo Reports for automotive insights teams

Built for automotive tracking programs.

Automotive insights teams run some of the widest studies in research: brand trackers across dozens of markets, owner and quality studies by model and build year, and syndicated data they must combine with their own. Halo Reports handles that scale, and Pulse puts the result in front of the people deciding.

  • Cut brand and purchase-funnel trackers by segment, model, market and wave, with weighting and significance testing applied
  • Combine owner studies, J.D. Power and syndicated data with your own research in one governed place
  • Publish interactive reports to product, brand and regional teams instead of rebuilding decks every wave
  • Every Pulse priority links back to the table behind it, so leaders and analysts argue from the same evidence
