VAN ENGAGE is a full featured Seller Relationship Management system within the application. We refer to it as SRM because sellers are not typical customers. Their greatest concern when first approached by a dealer is that they will be ”sold” something. By creating a unique approach and centralized hub for sellers, you move past leads and begin developing relationships with consumers in your market. ENGAGE has follow up and appointment setting features that can be planned into custom tasks. Users can add notes, appraisal information and offers to sellers within each VDP. ENGAGE keeps track and provides reporting on contacts, offers, appraisals and acquisitions, every step in the funnel! ENGAGE integrates seamlessly with vAuto, Carfax and AutoCheck. New seller opportunities can be transferred instantly to your vAuto account for appraisal, offer and inventory matching. ENGAGE can be integrated to virtually any automotive ADF CRM and receive seller opportunities from many providers including KBB ICO, Automotive Mastermind, Roadster and most banner ad forms. Reporting can be customized by any number of factors and automated to send recap reports to key decision makers for accountability.
VAN NAVIGATE pushes the envelope even further with a Google Chrome Extension that enables dealers to work with the VAN solutions without leaving the listing provider page. Users can update notes, add seller information and open a new tab to transfer to vAuto for appraisals. NAVIGATE eliminates the need to toggle back and forth to each tab in order to update live conversations. NAVIGATE rests on the sidebar of the browser tab until you need it, and provides efficiencies so that buyers and acquisition specialists can focus on the sellers! NAVIGATE allows users to source vehicles in the locations they choose while retaining the efficiency and scalability of the FUEL platform.
