British Columbia — Auto, RV, PowerSports and Marine dealership software developer QuantechSoftware.com has integrated its Q-GPS CRM/lead management system with Advanced Mobile Apps’ smartphone app, called DealershipApps.
The app contains features for customers and sales staff. Customers can use the app to view inventory, schedule a test drive, book service appointments or request a quote. Sales functionality includes common Q-GPS tasks like viewing inventory, entering new opportunities, and managing tasks.

“It's actually two apps in one", explained Mike Martin, general manager of Quantech Software. "There's a no-cost, dealer-branded customer app and a set of sales tools integrated with Q-GPS.”
Quantech Software will market and sell integrated and non-integrated versions of the app to North American dealerships. "The app takes what the dealership is doing on their website to the next level,” Martin said. "Not only does the app brand the dealership, it's way easier to use than a web browser on their smartphone.”
The increasingly important profit center continued making gains in the first quarter, according to StoneEagle data, ancillary products proving more popular as consumers hold onto their buys longer.

Missing just a handful of strong market days can materially impact cumulative returns—an important reminder for long horizon trust and investment strategies.

Some of it should be given to the customer, but that doesn’t mean the F&I office relinquishes the process. In fact, a different approach both builds trust and boosts sales.
Talk to F&I customers like you’d talk to a friend, without industry lingo or sales-like questions, and use hard proof to show, not tell, them about a need.
