Module::Website

One important aspect of a dealership is attracting new customers, and retaining existing customers through the dealer's website. This is done in several ways: placing exciting advertisements for vehicles online, allowing the customer to fill out a secure online credit application, general customer inquiries, a request to perform a vehicle search, and online service appointment bookings. The website module in AV2 is specifically designed to make it easy, yet secure, to update and maintain the dealership's website by leveraging full integration with the other modules. For example, when placing an ad online, you can publish the specs on any of the vehicles that you currently have in stock without having to re-enter any of the vehicle's information. Furthermore, if the vehicle is sold while posted on the website AV2 will automatically remove this posting for you if you wish. Basically the website runs itself allowing you to focus on selling vehicles.

Some other dealship websites rely on internet email as a way to route prospective customers requests to the dealership's salesmanagers. This means that the salesmanager has to remember to check their email at least once a day and then sort through spam and email viruses while trying to locate a valid prospect email. With AV2 all activity on the website is routed through the internal messaging module which means no spam, no viruses, and no wasted time searching for the information you need. In addition, since the messaging module sends pop-up notification of website events in real-time you can sit back and let the pop-up messages come to you while you work instead of having to constantly switch to another program to check your email and hoping that a new prospect email can be found.

If a website visitor wants to search your inventory of vehicles you can allow them access to search some or all of your currently in stock vehicles OR simply have them fill out an online request form indicating the type of vehicle they are looking for which is then sent to your sales persons or manager who can then contact the prospect to discuss the vehicles which you think the prospect would desire. When any event takes place on the website AV2 will notify key users with an instant message indicating that a prospect requires more information.

Another example of the power of website integration is when a customer fills out an online credit application, this information will be available in AV2 immediately. If the business office manager authorizes the credit application, the customer information can be imported into AV2 with a simple click of a button! No retyping of customer information because the customer already did this for you!
