XIGroup Offers Real-Time Inventory Updates
Online services provider XIGroup has announced that it will provide dealers and buyers with real-time inventory updates for all XIGroup customers using Dealer Specialties services.
WHITE MARSH, Md. — Online services provider XIGroup, a division of Dominion Enterprises, has announced that it will provide dealers and buyers with real-time inventory updates for all XIGroup customers using Dealer Specialties services.
"For years the industry buzzword has been 'real-time.' Now it’s a reality," said Joe High, XIGroup's general manager. "Dealer Specialties is the largest provider of inventory collection services in the industry and we are proud to offer our clients instant updates of their data and photos."
The updates, which also include dealer comments, will appear automatically on dealers' Website if made using any Dealer Specialties tool, according to the provider. Al Hess, general manager of Dealer Specialties, said integration would make life easier for dealers.
"In choosing Dealer Specialties inventory management and XIGroup Websites, dealers now do not have to worry about manually updating their site with mid-day price and inventory changes," Hess said. "Those changes on a dealer’s XIGroup Website will be seamlessly done through the Dealer Specialties IVM tool. We believe this makes the combined offering between our two companies the most unique in the marketplace today."
