04 Jul 2023 Helpful Tips

 

Using a Dealer Management System is essential when you’re running a dealership in the automotive industry. Let's face it as a Motor Dealer you’re busy enough as it is without having to process all your compliance forms and manage your advertising manually. This takes up an unnecessary amount of time which could then lead to wrong prioritisation and potentially, mistakes could be made. In such a competitive industry that is solely driven by customers and sales, you want that to be your focus, right?

Right! Here is how you can boost car sales and use your time more efficiently just by using a dealer management system!

Dealership Management Made Easy!

First, it’s going to automate tasks like stock management and advertising, along with the entire sales process. You will literally sell a vehicle by the click of a button; this is going to optimize the sales experience for both you and your customers, this will result in you saving both time and money and with the right DMS, you can guarantee that all your forms will be compliant with legal standards.

One detrimental factor that plays into having a good dealer management system, is protection of your data! EasyCars will protect all your data and it will all be backed up for you by Microsoft Azure. If the system you're utilising doesn't safeguard such a crucial aspect of how you perform your job, how effective is it going to be?

Let's talk about Effective Advertising

You’re not going to have the time as a motor dealer to individualise ads for each vehicle on multiple advertisers, one option that’s going to benefit you significantly that only a dealer management system can do for you is send off your feeds to multiple advertisers just by clicking one button. All you need to do next is finalise the purchase. Everything is automated for you!

What Vehicle Advertising Site is the best? Facebook Automotive Inventory Ads is a great way to target the right audience and at the most affordable price. Of course, running a car dealership; you will need to be accessible. You're going to want to reach the local audience, Facebook's local awareness ads will allow you to reach people close to your dealership. These ads are useful for promoting sales, or any exclusive offers you’re running.

In addition, Google Vehicle Listings Ads are an excellent avenue for showcasing your vehicles to the largest number of car buyers. Let's face it, not everyone uses social media. How will your dealership be able to target buyers who don't use Facebook or Instagram?

You are probably familiar with Google Shop, based on the success of the Shop, Google has expanded their offering for motor vehicles. Using Google Vehicle Listing ads, your dealerships vehicles will be showcased at the top of a google search when a customer searches for a particular car!

Arguably the greatest benefit of Google Vehicle Listing Ads is your dealership can correspond with customers via your website as all ads are directed there - making the buying and selling process extremely easy.

Choose a Dealer Management System like EasyCars that automates your compliance process!

As a motor dealer, it’s an extremely busy industry so keeping up with all the changes on the government forms on your own is going to be difficult and not to mention, time consuming.

If you are managing your compliance forms manually, you are making room for mistakes- this is one thing you should not be doing while running a dealership! Government compliance is highly sensitive, and the changes are constant. Therefore, one minor error can cost your dealership big money in compliance forms and a potential loss of dealer license.

Ensure that you’re choosing the right DMS, in some cases all government forms may not be available. It’s something worth double checking when you’re searching for the right management system for your dealership. Easy Cars will have all government forms available and when new updates are released, they are continuously updated in the back end.

Website Integration

We all know why a website is detrimental for business growth. Integrating your website with your dealer management system is going to streamline your business process’ for you. Aren’t you tired of manually uploading all your vehicle listings? How are your potential buyers going to know whether a specific vehicle is available or not?

It’s extremely easy to lose track of what you’re buying and selling when you don’t have a DMS integrating all relevant information over to your website for the public to see exactly what has been sold and what is currently available. All training will be provided so you won’t have to worry about learning how to navigate your website and integration all by yourself.

Incredibly simple & efficient.

Integrated Accounting

As a Motor Dealer, you would already know how costly it can be having an accountant or bookkeeper on site managing all the financials. The more time your accountant needs to complete a job, the more you’re out of pocket.

The accounting procedure will be streamlined, and the expense of your accountants will be decreased, if you use a Dealer Management System. Leading accounting programes like Xero and MYOB can be integrated with Dealer Management Systems. All financial data will be transferred from program to program eliminating the need for duplicate data entry. Integrated accounting will free up additional time for you by reducing the amount of time your accountant needs to complete tasks.
