What is Car Dealership Pro? |
|
Car Dealership Pro is a web-enabled software tool destined to manage an entire group of car dealers increasing efficiency dramatically and insuring real time management of data on a minute-to-minute basis. With this tool you can sell your cars, perform test drives, analyze your sales, check how satisfied your clients are about their new purchased cars, etc. |
 |
Who needs Car Dealership Pro? |
|
Car Dealership Pro is destined for dealer chains or single garages. Any dealer chain or garage who wants to stop using the 'paper and pencil' solutions is invited to use this tool. |
 |
Where is all the data stored? |
|
The data is stored in a secure environment so you do not have to buy any new hardware, or worry about back-ups. We will take care of this professionally for you and let you concentrate on your core business. The obvious key advantage here is that you do not need IT expects in house. |
 |
Is there any possibility of data loss? |
|
Your data is well protected. All application servers are located in special data centers in Germany. Each application server has redundant hardware and has a mirror server in another location ready to take over the operation in case of any failure. Of course we also make regular automated backups of the data (this is the most professional way you should be taking care of your data). |
 |
Actually, how safe is the data? |
|
Nobody has access to your data without proper username and password so you don't have to worry about data loss or attacks. |
 |
What do you have to install in order to use Car Dealership Pro? |
|
Absolutely nothing. You just need a connection to the Internet. |
 |
Can I use this tool if I sell second-hand cars? |
|
Yes. With Car Dealership Pro you can sell both new cars and second-hand cars. |
 |
Can Car Dealership Pro manage the test drives? |
|
Yes. All the test drives can be monitored within the tool. The process is divided in two stages: pre and post test drive. In this way you can get feedback about the customer’s likes and dislikes during the test drive, as well as logistical data regarding how many km were driven etc. |
 |
Can I see if a test drive car is free at any given period of time and if not, who is using it? |
|
Yes. By using the filter “search for test drives” option, you can see this and allot more. |
 |
If a client decides to change the date when he wishes to perform the test drive, can I change this? |
|
Yes. You can change the time period for a future test-drive, you simply have to look when this particular vehicle is free. |
 |
How can I see and analyze my sales? |
|
The built in analysis and statistics tool offers all the information you need in order to analyze your sales. The tool contains all the types of charts you need, from the simple, yet important bar graphs, to the complex cross tables. You can juggle with all the information from the database; so basically, you can see anything you like. |
 |
Can I print reports / lists? |
|
Yes. All reports and lists are available in handy PDF format, so it's easy to print them. On top of this, there is the 'Management Summary' option, which gathers all the data you need to know at a period of time (no. of cars sold and money earned by each salesman and garage, divided by car types and models) in one single PDF file. |
 |
Can I set goals for each salesman and then verify if they reached them? |
|
You can set or change the goals for one particular salesman or garage from the administration tool. To verify if any particular goals have been reached, you use the built-in analysis tool, which offers you minute-to minute results (this basically means; if you set the goals for the whole year, you can monitor during the running year if the goals can be reached, thus helping you to really manage your business). |
 |
Can I compare the sales figures from two salesman or two garages? |
|
Yes. The sales analysis and benchmarking tool is made specifically for this kind of job. We know that data does not make sense if you have nothing to compare it with. With the analysis tool you can compare two salesmen or two garages, one salesman or garage with all (giving you detailed information about how that particular salesman or garage is performing in relation to all the others). |
 |
Is there a database with all the clients that bought cars? |
|
Yes. Another great part of this tool is, as soon as somebody does a test drive they are in the system, this effectively means that whenever clients come for a test drive at any of your dealers you have a history of past test drives taken at any of your dealerships. Obviously this also applies to the car you sell (it is automatically inserted in the clients database, so it's also easier for you to fill in personal data the next time that particular client comes). Of course you can modify client data whenever required. |
 |
Can I insert new garages and my salesmen? |
|
Yes. From the administration tool you can add, modify or delete garages and salesmen, set goals, rights and view actions for each salesman or garage. |
 |
If I decide to start or stop selling one particular car model, do I have to contact you? |
|
No. You can manage the car manufacturer and model from the administration tool. If you choose not to sell a particular car model any more, you obviously will still have the data of the “past”. |
