Was just on a call with [USER=3]@Jeff Kershner[/USER] and [USER=11191]@Jim K[/USER] talking through some fun stuff.  The conversation veered toward work that a salesperson would actually do without a manager slapping them.  The one thing we could come up with is filling out the paperwork for a car deal.  And this is why dealers need so much automation.  Yes, I know we were generalizing here.


The funny part about it is that the one big thing that's being automated is the paperwork.  This is essentially what digital retailing is about:  digital paperworking. 


As the OEMs continue to push digital retailing solutions, it is just more argument for how little is understood about car dealerships.


Anyway, it was a thought that humored me and I wanted to share it.
