Which mobile Apps are going to help you get the job done at the dealership in 2017?

Which apps are you already using that's helping you and (or your dealership as a whole) to merchandise, sell and service more vehicles?

This can apply to non-automotive mobile (everyday) apps, AND automotive industry related apps.
 
Currently using Homenet's inventory app to snap a few pics of cars as soon as they arrive before they are completely front line ready to get an actual pic of the car online with in a day of it arriving on the lot. It works really well and they guys seem to like it.

Gonna focus more on our CRM app for 2017. All the reps use it now but the majority only use it to contact customers. Most don't realize it has a built in DL scanner, vin scanner for both the trade and vehicle in stock, record and send personal video walk arounds and pics of the cars directly from the app and it's all tied to the customer record.

✨ AI Highlights

Automotive industry professionals share their favorite mobile apps for dealership operations in 2017, with responses ranging from inventory management tools (Homenet) and CRM platforms (elead) to marketing apps (Instagram, Facebook Ad Manager, Adwords) and productivity software (Slack, Trello, Evernote). The key insight is that successful dealers leverage both industry-specific apps for selling and servicing vehicles and mainstream apps for marketing and team collaboration, though many CRM users aren't fully utilizing their apps' advanced features like video walkarounds and VIN scanning.
