This unique partnership will deliver Carlisle's deep industry knowledge, proprietary data and analytical expertise through Dealer-FX's industry-leading technology platform. Dealer-FX manages every touch point within the customer's service experience, from initial contact through scheduling and every step at the dealership, and then retaining the customer by bringing them back. Incorporating these data-driven insights and customer-specific recommendations into the technology platform that drives a dealer's service operations gives dealership management unprecedented control over core elements of the business. The new products will replace stagnant information, guesswork and decades-old rules of thumb with intelligent algorithms that capture real-time data across the Dealer-FX platform, make informed predictions and provide actionable recommendations at every touch point along the customer journey. Dealerships will deliver the next level of personalized experience to each customer, using proprietary algorithms that are aligned with the dealership's operating and financial objectives. "We're incredibly excited about working with the Carlisle team. Its unparalleled industry knowledge and relationships, extensive analytical capabilities and core integrity align perfectly with Dealer-FX's organization and culture. Together we will deliver completely unique, highly valuable solutions that solve some of the industry's most persistent problems and give both dealers and OEMs the sophisticated analytical tools that will drive retention and loyalty, which other industries have enjoyed for years," said Dealer-FX CEO, Gary Kalk. "The products we're developing together will unlock billions of dollas of value within dealers and OEM service and sales operations, value that's currently trapped by legacy systems and inflexible workflows. For years we've been looking for the right technology partner with a platform that can collect the right high-quality data, and apply our insights in real-time to benefit both customers and dealers. We've finally found that partner in Dealer-FX," said David Carlisle, Chairman of Carlisle & Co. "This relationship is a game changer for Carlisle & Co. and for the industry." Its first product, focused on optimizing customer retention, will predict customer behavior at multiple points along their journey and tailor the service experience to maximize the chance of profitably retaining them. By offering the right actions and incentives at the right points in the customer's journey, the dealership can drive behavior that benefits both parties, improving retention, CSI, trust, and the customer's willingness to spend. Future products, some of which will utilize machine learning technologies, will apply the partnership's unique capabilities to address service cycle time, dealership throughput and capacity management, supply chain effectiveness and alternative customer satisfaction metrics.
