Auto Remarketing: What are some ways VinSolutions and Cox Automotive as a whole are trying to connect dealers and shoppers, and foster the ‘human element’ of the transaction?
Lori Wittman: As a leading provider of dealership customer relationship management (CRM) software, our vision at VinSolutions is to give dealers the data and tools to make every customer engagement count — and that means humanizing and personalizing as many exchanges as possible. Every dealership is different, and its customers are different. We’ve designed our products to accommodate the unique characteristics of each dealership and its customer base with processes that are fully customizable and easy for dealers to adjust.
This may sound like a small thing, but I’ve heard from dealers that having the ability to control CRM processes is key to driving the ownership and usage that lead to results. Our tools also deliver a single view of the customer across the business, which is key to understanding each customer’s needs.
