"We have over a thousand forms in our DMS software that help dealerships in their risk management tasks or in carrying out business deals," says Wyer.A common challenge that dealerships face is collecting stipulations such as driver's licenses, insurance cards, and payroll information.

The eCRM provides automatic scheduling, a highly developed lead-handling system, and a messaging library that Dealerships can leverage to manage communication with customers.Additionally, Autodeals has an international messaging partner that enables the guaranteed delivery of messages to customers via phone or email.

The company offers a true transaction accounting system that powers a comprehensive profit and loss and balance sheet to keep dealers' books balanced 24/7/365. DRIVING SUPERIOR BUSINESS RESULTSTo demonstrate Autodeals' prowess in the realm of dealer management, Wyer mentions a dealership with 100 cars in inventory across three locations. Each location was running with a stand-alone dealer management software. Each location operated differently, reported information separately and had inconsistent business results. The management was frustrated with the operating results, staff turnover, inventory turn, and constant fire fighting required to keep the locations running. That was when they circled in on Autodeals, who helped them establish a streamlined operations process from customer lead to accounting after the sale. Upon signing, all three locations were activated the next day, their data was migrated, and the Dealership was up and running. Now with location P&L, consistent business practices across all stores, and visibility to their business 24x7, the owners have the peace of mind and confidence to look to the future for growth. The dealer can drive superior business results and pinpoint trouble conditions much earlier through a fully mobile, cloud-based solution.Focused on expanding its geographical footprint to operate in all 50 states of the U.S. successfully, Autodeals hones its business expertise by working with different bureaus of motor vehicles and DMVs around the U.S. They also plan to develop their regional lender relationships and grow the dealer-to-lender B2B transactions.
