If you work in a dealership you might know us as that ‘digital signage company’, but you may not know that we have grown into a full dealership solutions provider. Or maybe you are aware that we have a texting and an e-payment tool, but you might not be aware of just how far we have grown. With that in mind, we wanted to provide a quick overview of our new tools and some advancements over the last few years. But first, let’s start with a little history.
VenueVision Integrated Dealership Solutions, based in Oakville, Ontario, has been in business since 2001. The company originally started as VenueVision Media Systems with the focus primarily on Digital Signage in the automotive industry. Since the start, our main objective was to help clients implement turnkey solutions to improve communications with customers.
In the area of Digital Signage, we are not just installers and hardware providers. VenueVision creates and manages fully branded, high-quality digital content for every OEM. Our Content Management service is one of a few differences we offer that sets us apart from other digital signage companies. Our innovative Integration technology is another feature that helps make us unique. With DMS and other dealership software integration, you can display data on dealer-branded dashboards to provide a premium customer experience.
The team at VenueVision has always been focused on helping dealerships improve their communication with their customers. That is why, over the years, the team has been listening and observing the day to day functions of dealerships, specifically their service departments. This has enabled our developers to assess areas of frustration and department processes which could use streamlining. With this knowledge, our team of designers and software developers have been hard at work building additional tools and solutions that can help dealerships improve their functionality, customer service and enhance the overall customer experience.
So, what have we been up to at VenueVision? Here are some of the additional solutions we offer and some of their recent upgrades.
Although not new to the suite of VenueVision solutions, as it was originally launched in May of 2017, our texting solution is always developing to keep up with changing needs and demands. This powerful two-way, cloud-based desktop texting solution provides all the functionality any sized dealership could need. A centralized texting solution that all staff can use and oversee all customer conversations in real time. Our autoTEXT solution has always been capable of capturing and storing full customer conversation history, sending updates with DMS integration and automated messaging, attaching images or videos for faster repair authorizations and so much more. Some of the newly added features and functionality are:
Similar to autoTEXT, Mobile Cashier has been around for a little over 2 years since its original launch in April of 2017. The main functionality of providing secure payment links to capture mobile payments for service invoices has always been streamlined, efficient and simple, and still is. You can also create payment links to send to customers for any department in the dealership. This allows staff to collect down payments for Parts or Vehicles, payments for F&I products or even for collecting payments from your own third party vendors — all in a safe, privacy-regulated process that keeps your customers’ data safe and your staff protected from privacy law stipulations.
One of the most recent additions to our dealership solutions that ties in directly with Mobile Cashier is our Loyalty Rewards Program. Show your customers you appreciate their business by providing a program that lets them earn loyalty dollars on every Service invoice they pay using your Express Payment option. They can build and use these Loyalty Dollars on future service visits, providing great customer retention. Plus, use the program as an incentive or a way of showing more gratitude, but topping up their balance or adding to their account as for a new vehicle purchase incentive.
VenueVision has offered Shuttle Tracker, a GPS-based tracking system for visibility and analytics for a few years. Our continued drive for advancement has led to the recent creation of a powerful set of Shuttle Solutions. Shuttle Manager works within our main dashboard and provides the perfect centralized map view to keep a dealership’s shuttle and transportation department organized. Combined with the real-time visibility of Shuttle Tracker, and you have Shuttle Complete. All staff can see at a glance who’s been scheduled, what time and where they need to go or be picked up from. With this solution you can assign riders to specific shuttles, send text confirmations and notifications to customers and Shuttle Drivers. Use it to schedule Shuttles in advance when booking service appointments so you can staff accordingly, create efficient routes, print off current route sheets or trip history, and so much more.
Things have definitely been busy with our team at VenueVision. To date, our digital and automotive solutions are used in almost 500 dealerships across Canada and the U.S. to promote products and services and communicate relevant information. We are always in development and looking for ways to improve or create new solutions to help dealers and their staff. Launching soon will be tools and features such as:
So, keep your eye out for more additions and updates to our growing powerful suite of dealership solutions. All of our solutions are designed to be flexible, adaptable and work in various combinations with all of our other solutions. Our tools will greatly enhance your customer communication and customer experience — whether your dealership is small or large, run by a multi-store BDC, or under an entire Automotive Group service initiative. Our focus is to connect all stages of service, sales, marketing and communication and provide your customers with an experience unlike anything they’ve had before.
