Yet the showroom remains at the heart
of every transaction, even among the
most digitally driven shoppers. In fact,
J.D. Power has concluded that those who
consume the most online content during
their shopping process often also visit
up to three showrooms prior to purchase.
These trends reinforce the importance of
a connected online to in-store dealership
strategy. By aligning operations and
marketing with current shopper behaviors
and expectations spanning digital and
physical environments, dealers will realize
transformative benefits, including:
To reap these rewards, dealers must
be willing to implement new business
strategies and adopt technologies capable
of streamlining the five most critical
stages of the retail operation: customer
attraction, digital shopper engagement,
deal structuring, transacting, and
operational management. The following pages
illustrate how Dealertrack’s connected
Solution unites each of these holistically.
· Efficiency and
profitability driven
by data and software
integration.
· Trust and long-term loyalty,
powered by transparency and
consistency across digital
and physical environments.
· Increased visibility and relevance
for every type of customer, whether
they favor multiple showroom visits
or prefer to shop primarily online.
Digital continues to reshape the automotive
industry. Studies support its rising tide of
influence on auto shopping, and the emergence
of digital retailing and other technologies now
makes the online dealership experience richer –
and more trusted – than ever.
Whether you seek efficiency at one
particular stage of your retail
operation, or a complete, connected
Solution capable of transforming your
entire business, Dealertrack offers
products and services that support
your dealership strategy.
