Well well well, Inventory Management comes alive on DR. I am curious to hear who does what nowadays. I'll start off by saying I am NEEDING to change what we do. Comments and suggestions are very much welcome.
NOW:
Trade Appraisal - vAuto
Trade or Purchase entered into DMS.
DMS---> vAuto for pricing analytics.
Dealers Specialties comes to picture my inventory AND uploads to D/S backend.
vAuto Pricing ---> D/S backend
Once Pics and Pricing is matched cars are SLOWLY distributed online.
If a car is priced in vAuto prior to being "found" in D/S we get hung up in a que and it takes days to fix. We currently use Dealer.com as our website/CRM provider.
So the options are:
1) Continue with flawed system because that's the way it is (y'all know the definition of insanity)
2) Use vAuto for everything Used Cars
3) Use Dealer.com as our hub for everything with pricing influence from vAuto
4) None of the above (fill in the blank)
