The DigitalDashboard is integrated with the leading lending platforms, allowing your users to push deals directly from the DigitalDashboard to those services with the click of a button.  The DigitalDashboard completely eliminates double data-entry, which drastically reduces input time and increases accuracy. Once the deal is transferred, the user only needs to select the applicable lenders and click submit!

Make your delivery process with the DigitalDashboard even more efficient by taking advantage of titling integration.  The DigitalDashboard integrates with the two leading electronic registration and titling services, DealerTrack RTS and CVR.  With a couple clicks, deals can be imported into these systems within a fraction of the time it would take to input manually and without the risk of entering incorrect information with double-entry.

When it is time to pull a customer’s credit bureau, save time and eliminate errors by utilizing the bureau integration built into the DigitalDashboard DMS.  Customer information can be sent electronically to DealerTrack or 700Credit, depending on the platform your dealership uses.

While taking advantage of multiple third-party internet marketing sites, such as Cars.com and AutoTrader, is critical to your dealership’s success, the practice of doing so is usually time consuming and tedious. Posting your new vehicles and removing your sold vehicles often requires hours of irritating repetition until all your partner sites reflect your current inventory, at least until the next vehicle is sold or your next trip to the auction. The DigitalDashboard eliminates the annoying act of double-entry by uploading your current inventory to all of your third-party internet marketing sites. Any changes made on the DigitalDashboard are made on the third-party sites without any additional user intervention.

In partnership with the Wisconsin Automobile & Trucks Dealers Association and Vehicle Details, the DigitalDashboard provides data for printing richly detailed, full-color, and customizable vehicle window stickers and flyers showing trim level options, vehicle specifications, fuel economy, vehicle reviews, vehicle facts, and reasons to buy.

Provide your salespeople expertise on virtually any vehicle and give your customers reasons to buy now!

For dealers who routinely fax, a great deal of time is spent manually faxing documents to lenders and customers. Oftentimes, these documents are first printed, which is costly, time consuming, and harmful to the environment. By partnering with eFax, DigitalDashboard users are able to fax documents, such as credit applications or service contract brochures, directly from the DigitalDashboard to either a single fax recipient or numerous recipients, which can then be stored as fax groups and used for future faxes. eFax provides a quick, easy and environmentally friendly method of faxing.

A universal requirement of all automotive dealerships and something immediately visible to your customers, the buyers guide says a great deal about the vehicle for sale AND your dealership. Left with little alternative, most dealerships must resort to handwriting their buyers guides. Not only is most of this information redundant and the process time consuming, the end result is only as professional looking as the handwriting of the person doing it. With the DigitalDashboard, your dealership can laser print a clear, crisp buyers guide pre-loaded with your dealership information and the vehicle’s information, directly from your stored inventory. The buyers guides can be printed in seconds and can be reprinted at any time.

As a tried and true method of lot advertising, rearview mirror hangtags have been in use by automobile dealerships for ages. Most often, hangtags are purchased from various vendors and contain pre-printed slogans, like “Financing Available” or “Low Miles”. While these hangtags start out clean and legible, they’re often completed by whoever has the best handwriting and usually after several attempts. The DigitalDashboard allows you to maintain a clean, crisp look throughout the hangtag by printing the entire tag directly to a laser printer. Not only do you have access to all the familiar slogans, you can also create custom hangtags on the fly to say whatever you’d like.

The DigitalDashboard has your compliance needs covered and the tools to do so are integrated directly within the software to help streamline the process.  If desired, the system will prompt your users to complete Risk-Based Pricing Notices and print them automatically for delivery to your customers.  Additionally, Privacy Notices can be properly customized to address the unique configuration of your dealership(s) and print automatically upon delivery.
