The Challenge

For years, the sales process has started online. Fast forward to today’s accelerated world where consumers expect more aspects of the typical car sale to take place remotely. There's a list of challenges with these expectations:

  • You can't guarantee the trade valuation until your used car manager sees the vehicle.
  • You need to manually confirm what rebates and incentives the customer and vehicle qualify for, regardless of what they saw online.
  • When you reach a deal, you have to recreate it in the DMS to move it to F&I.
  • To accept a deposit, you have to write down the customer's credit card information and manually process it.

The entire online to in-store experience has to be convenient, consistent, and accurate.

The Solution

Retail Anywhere is a dealership-wide approach that utilizes the Retail Management System, allowing dealerships to serve customers wherever they are – in-store, online, or both – without sacrificing what’s important to the dealership: control and profitability of the sale, accuracy of the transaction, and efficiency of its employees.
