Machine learning is being widely adapted in industrial applications owing to the capabilities of commercially available hardware and rapidly advancing research. Volkswagen Financial Services (VWFS), as a market leader in vehicle leasing services, aims to leverage existing proprietary data and the latest research to enhance existing and derive new business processes. The collaboration between Information Systems and Machine Learning Lab (ISMLL) and VWFS serves to realize this goal. In this paper, we propose methods in the fields of recommender systems, object detection, and forecasting that enable data-driven decisions for the vehicle life-cycle at VWFS.
