DealerSocket to Display Enhanced Auto Retail Technologies at NADASAN CLEMENTE, Calif., March 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DealerSocket, a leading provider of technology solutions for the automotive retail industry, today announced a number of improvements for its automotive retail technologies, including dealership CRM, sales, inventory and pricing. These will be on display at the 2018 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Expo, Booth #2759C, March 22-25 in Las Vegas. DealerSocket retail technology announcements include:
"Working in the ever-changing auto industry means making continuous improvement a top priority, and at DealerSocket, we're always looking for ways to enhance our retail tools," said Matt Redden, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, DealerSocket. "With car buying and servicing processes in mind, our latest updates were purposefully designed to help dealerships identify and act on more opportunities, providing a more streamlined customer experience." Absolute Sourcing: Optimize inventory strategies to increase sales all on one screen DealerSocket Inventory+, a suite of data-enabled inventory management and appraisal tools, helps dealerships and dealer groups maximize the value of their inventory investments. With the addition of Absolute Sourcing, Inventory+ dealers can view ideal inventory needs and efficiently identify sources to meet those inventory needs. Absolute Sourcing provides the ability to locate inventory not only from auctions but from participating group stores and missed appraisals all on a single page, creating a faster, more effective strategy for stocking inventory. Benefits include:
Ping Scoring: Prioritize leads quickly with data-backed scoring system Revenue Radar by DealerSocket now offers Ping Scoring capabilities, allowing dealers to prioritize equity mining activities based on a data-focused ranking system. As dealership time and resources are limited, Pin Scoring lists potential customers with a number from one to 10, where 10 represents the highest propensity of customer likelihood for buying or servicing a vehicle. In fact, if dealerships act on the top 25% of DealerSocket CRM website pings (or notifications), they are 70% more likely to close on a sale. With Ping Scoring, the highest scored pings are placed into automated follow up campaigns, so opportunities are less likely to be missed. Ping Scoring ratings are determined using:
CBC: Complete integration with DealerSocket improves credit and compliance processes Fully integrated with CBC, DealerSocket streamlines credit check and compliance needs across multiple platforms, covering credit pre-qualifications, fraud prevention and automated data reporting, to reduce redundancies for faster, more reliable processes. New features include the following:
