Logged on the Forecourt, Not at the Desk
By the time the executive walks back to the computer, another family is waiting at the door. The first number is on the back of a brochure, and it stays there.
What actually gets done on a phone
A new enquiry
Name, number, model, and one line about what the family wants, entered while they are still looking at the car.
A deal stage
Test drive done, quotation sent, negotiation on. Changed in the ten seconds after it happens.
A quotation
Sent from the floor rather than promised for the evening, which is when buyers stop waiting.
A stock check
Whether that colour is available, answered in front of the customer instead of after a walk to the desk.
The GM away from the showroom
Bookings, deliveries, stock ageing, and collections open on a phone from a dealers’ meeting or a flight home. Nobody has to be asked to send a figure. The morning numbers are already there.
Where mobile access changes the day
- Sunday crowds, when nobody reaches a desk
- An executive at a customer’s office with the papers
- Service reminders checked between two job cards
- A delivery being made away from the showroom
Nothing to download from an app store
The screens are built to work on a phone, and there is no separate application to install and update. Long reports and the monthly commission sheet are still better read on a proper screen. So is anything a person has to sign.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work without a good network at the showroom?
A connection is needed, as with any hosted system. Most showrooms put in a reliable line or wifi before go-live, which is worth sorting out early.
Can documents be uploaded from a phone?
Yes. A photograph of the signed contract or the insurance copy goes onto the deal from wherever the executive is standing.
Do executives need a company phone?
No. It opens in the browser they already have, and access ends when their login is closed, which is what you want on the day somebody leaves.
