Depending on the size of your dealership, you probably work with either a handful or dozens of vendors that provide a range of services. That means learning and keeping track of various systems, interfaces, usernames, passwords and more. That’s not an issue if you have unlimited time and resources, but let’s face it, that’s not the reality of the used-car industry.
Margins are tightening, and it’s getting harder to stay ahead of the curve in our highly competitive industry. According to NADA, dealership gross margins have declined by nearly 30 percent over the past five years. That necessitates budget cuts, increased pressure to sell, or both.
One of the ways Dealerslink can help improve profitability is by enhancing operational efficiency through our vendor consolidation program. One of the main benefits of consolidating vendors is to control costs. Many of our clients place this as a top priority, and we’ve responded with a solution that is simple, effective, and saves time and money.
Here are just a few of the benefits of consolidating vendors with Dealerslink:
- Cost savings – you can get the same features you’re accustomed to at half the cost
- Time savings – your employees spend fewer hours learning and operating multiple systems that end up only getting partial usage
- One interface – everyone at your dealership uses the same solution, so there’s no drop-off when an employee is out
- ROI – transparency and communication improve your dealership’s efficiency and performance
- Less risk – one consolidated solution can cover risks more accurately, as opposed to patching together multiple programs
- One support team – our dedicated support team is always available to help
Simply put, a dealership that has streamlined its vendor relations and access points is a more profitable dealership.
