Dealertrack Expands Inventory Management Solution
Lake Success, NY — To help dealers win more used-car trade-ins and further grow their volume and profits through better inventory management and customer engagement, Dealertrack Technologies has introduced an all-new Inventory+ vehicle trade-in quote module and a fully-integrated transportation tool.
Dealertrack Inventory+ is an inventory management solution that delivers 360 degrees of data insight and analytics with mobile and workflow capabilities for dealers, according to officials. The all-new solution also features two new tools: Inventory+ TradeDriver and Inventory+ Transportation Services.
Inventory+ TradeDriver is a trade-in quote service integrated within Inventory+ and a dealer's website. It is designed to present buyers with consistent trade-in offers, helping dealers convert more leads to sales. Inventory+ Transportation Services is a vehicle transportation network integrated within the inventory management system. It’s designed to offer dealers more choices than ever for their transport needs.
"We are committed to delivering integrated workflow solutions that help dealers drive efficiencies and transform their businesses," said Robert Granados, senior vice president of Dealertrack’s Inventory Solutions and CRM Operations. "With the new intelligent vehicle trade-in tool and the industry's first integrated vehicle transportation network, Inventory+ becomes an even more advanced and powerful solution for today's progressive dealers. These enhancements will help better position dealers for generating more leads and improving customer experience, while winning more deals."
