The Latest From AutoRevo

• 2018: Year in Review Newsletter

  December 12th, 2018

  2018 has been an amazing and transformative year for AutoRevo and its customers. We have a special team of dedicated employees that are 100% focused to help our dealers succeed. I thought I would take a moment to share all of the great things that have been rolled out and insight as to what is on the roadmap.

  2018 Products available now:

  

  ShowUp – Appointment Setting with texting confirmation direct to the customer. From either inside of your Autorevo account or from your Autorevo website (includes mobile website) customers and dealers can now schedule appointments and test drives instantly. It connects directly with your calendar and will show all available time slots.

  

  Gsuite – AutoRevo is now a Google Partner and is deeply integrating into the Google API’s. We can now deploy website, email, calendaring, maps, analytics, and documents as a part of your AutoRevo account.

  

  CallSource Partnership – Call Tracking has been an important part of measuring ROI and training for dealers for many years. AutoRevo has integrated the CallSource call tracking, Caller ID, Recorded calls, and Reporting directly into the Autorevo platform. This product allows our dealers to report at a 50,000-foot view, down to the ability at the individual level.

  

  QuickDesk – This product allows dealers to Text and/or Email customers in seconds, the out the door price including TTL. This beautifully designed marketing piece allows the consumer to build confidence in the buying process.

  

  CARFAX Enhancements – CARFAX has been a great partner since the beginning of AutoRevo in 2004. We have built in CARFAX Snapshot, CARFAX Value Badging, and CARFAX Wholesale and Retail values. We have more great things coming in 2019, so be on the lookout.

  

  Craigslist Enhancements – Autorevo was an early adopter of Craigslist marketing and in the last few months, we reinvested in our product. To ensure ease of use we have deployed the Craiglist API. This new functionality is a direct connection to over 120 major markets and allows us to bypass many steps that are required when posting manually.

  

  AutoRevo Redesign – Our redesign was the first step to fulfilling our promise made earlier this year. Being customer focused means we have to always think about how dealers engage with our platform. With hundreds of features and products, we will continue to develop software that is simple and easy to use. We are devoted to giving our dealers and their customers the best experience in the market.

  

  Bugs & Fixes – We have squished and fixed hundreds of bugs over the last year but we know there will always be more to do.
