The vendor side of LVL Up Auto | Dealership Vendor Management Platform is now LIVE!
If you are a vendor and have already reached out about claiming your company page - I will provide instructions this week. Email me here -> jon@lvlupauto.com if we haven't connected yet I will respond as soon as I can.
I couldn't be more excited about what this means for the future of connecting dealers and vendors. I met with +40 vendors over 2 months to collect the requirements to develop this new part of the application. Thank you everyone for your time and ideas, I am really proud how it turned out.
Here is a sneak peak and more info exclusive to DealerRefresh:
Vendors have new tools for adding products, media, their features, and integrations. They can also add users from their team, ask their customers for verified reviews and manage all their demos in LVL Up. These represent foundational features that enable future ones. The choices vendors make in setting up their account as well as the scale and quality of the reviews will impact how vendors appear in search rankings and how they are recommended to dealerships as potential matches. The way the integrations and features are structured in the database and how they get added enables some really advanced capabilities that I am just now getting my head around.
For example integrations: Today they can be added by a dealership user as well as either vendor at the product level. The vendor that it was added for gets the ability to see this and edit it as well. This allows for it to scale up quickly and accurately. The ability to leverage integrations in search results is a game changer for dealerships looking for options for their unique set of partners. The idea to design it this way was something that came up in early conversations all the way back to Oct/Nov from the closed beta. This is just one small part of the platform but it's a derivative of all the underlying structure that makes it possible.
