Westerville, OH. – AVV, the leading lead management solution for auto dealers nationwide and a division of Dominion Dealer Solutions, today announced all-new integration between Web Control, AVV’s Internet lead management solution (ILM), and the Dealer Specialties’ inventory management system.
To be launched at NADA 2011, the lead and inventory management integration gives auto dealers real-time access to dealership inventory from a prospect’s details screen within Web Control. Timely customer communication is then made simple by emailing highly engaging vehicle e-brochures. Along with other capabilities provided by this integration, dealers will now be able to view all customers interested in a specific vehicle within the Dealer Specialties’ Inventory Management System, as well as the passing of VIN-specific leads with quotes to the inventory management dashboard for display.
AVV General Manager, Ed Braunbeck stated, “The more a dealership’s inventory and lead management solutions communicate, the more effectively a dealer can put the right people into the right vehicles. Our integration with Dealer Specialties’ inventory management engine truly enables our dealers to meet this task and yield greater profits.”
“The integration between AVV’s Web Control and Dealer Specialties’ Inventory Management System is a huge win for dealers who rely on these two, industry-leading products,” added Glen Garvin, group general manager for Dominion Dealer Solutions. “Dealers will save time, reduce frustration, and view real-time inventory information alongside actual leads, driving more intelligent pricing decisions. This partnership is a testament of the future integrations being developed by sister companies within Dominion Dealer Solutions.”
