    Appointment display board

    A new spin on an old idea. Although this is not necessarily customer facing it is useful tool. Our business objective was to inform the Quick Lane of any repair orders written with operation codes they are responsible for. So the goal of this board is not customer facing but employee facing...

    Vendor Tactics that make you go WTF

    In addition to the items listed above, a vendor tactic that drives me nuts is ignorance, or laziness, in their technology implementations. Most of you here likely have never had to deal with this issue, but it is certainly there. With the large number of lead providers each interpreting...

    Dominion to offer a DMS?

    Som years ago (either 3 or 4) I stood in a booth at NADA for Infomizor (please don't hold me to the spelling). The booth had Microsoft Logo's all over and it was showcasing the Microsoft play to the DMS market. After spending a few hours stalking the booth I saw the Dynamics software package...

    Clickmotive VS DealerCom

    It has taken Clickmotive 45 days to get a simple PPC campaign live for our stores. I will update this post on the results, hoping they are justified. In internet years 45 days is like an eon.

    Reynolds Form Programming

    I have not heard of this tool. I have seen others with similar objectives, also most inventory management tools are attempting to bring this concept into their suite. In 2007 we had been using an excel sheet to keep most of this information updated. I think many dealership employees are...
