ORLANDO, Fla. — Dealertrack showcased two mobile tools at the National Automobile Dealers Association’s 2013 convention and expo. One of them is called eMenu, a new mobile iPad menu designed to mobilize their F&I office.
The new eMenu for iPad app is expected to be available to U.S. dealers in the second quarter of this year.
