vAuto is clearly the leader in market based pricing and vehicle stocking. The VinSolutions market pricing tool offers dealers an integrated lower cost alternative that contains a number of features that the above mentioned tools do not (customer value, service history, current wish lists). There are a lot of dealers that use vAuto and the VinSolutions pricing tools together to gain the advantages that both have to offer. We have had high level integration with both vAuto and Firstlook for quite some time and our dealers have the CHOICE to use the tool that best suits them. That is not saying that one tool is better than another, that is saying that we want to offer our dealers options. Remember VinSolutions started as an inventory management tool and we do not believe that any of our tools are "secondary" rather they are all part of the "full solution" that we offer our dealer partners.
Shawn,
VINSOL alternative is not more or less integrated than Homenet, Firstlook, or vAuto's would be... The integration of systems is of very little or no advantage nowadays.
[clarification] what I meant by integration of systems not being important I meant by the same company. Technology allows different companies to integrate their systems just fine thus allowing dealers to chose and use whatever systems they prefer or feel are the best at any one thing.
I wasn't trying to pit you against any other tools nor to make any statements as of which one is betetr than than the other, much of that is subjective to the user and its needs.
My point was focused on Mike's request for what tool to use and Matt Wattson clearly says that VINSOL's is not as strong. Lets leave there.
