Dealer Drive becomes a Certified Integration Partner with Pentana DMS

Dealer Drive, a leading supplier of automotive test drive, loan vehicle and appraisal software, today announced its certified partnership with Pentana Solutions.

“Our objective has always remained clear; to provide a best-in-class technology solution that streamlines day-to-day operational processes to improve dealership efficiencies and reporting capabilities. The integration with Pentana reinforces Dealer Drive’s position in the market as an innovative software technology provider and has augmented our commitment to offering smart, simple-to-use software for automotive dealerships,” Michael added.

We currently use Dealer Drive to manage our test drives and loan vehicles. It was a no brainer to take on the Dealer Drive Appraisals software. Whilst there are many other systems out there that claim to offer similar services we choose to stay with Dealer Drive due to the true integrations with our suppliers and also due to the exemplary support and friendly staff. Dealer Drive is designed by people from the automotive industry for the automotive industry.

Being an owner of a multisite dealership, it was going to be a challenge for myself and my management team to ensure consistency across each location so that we are on top of every opportunity; I implemented Dealer Drive so that:

1- Our team can focus on our guests and not on paperwork
2- Increased ROI
3- Automated Reporting

I can’t imagine running a dealership without Dealer Drive now.

“Andrews and Wallis Group have been using Dealer Drive since July 2014. The group implemented Dealer Drive over 4 dealerships both in Sales and Service and covers all; Loan cars, Demonstrators, Test-Drives and Staff drive cars.

The Dealer Drive system is a fantastic efficient tool to manage a paperless system with simple interfaces that all staff can use easily. We have saved time and cost with no paper use or insecure storage of customer licenses.

We would have trouble going back to a loan book and photocopies in a folder now. Additionally the CRM side of Dealer Drive is fantastic in marketing to those customers who have taken a demo or loan gaining further sales opportunities. I would recommend Dealer Drive to any business loaning or driving cars on a daily basis.”

Dealer Drive has allowed us to improve efficiencies with managing a significant number of service loan vehicles.  The desktop portal allows me to quickly identify vehicle movement history and accurately nominate any traffic or speeding infringements.  The Dealer Drive damage reporting also allows me to keep better control and minimise vehicle damage.  I am instantly alerted and can act immediately on any vehicle damage that needs my attention.  Dealer Drive is now an integral part of our daily service operation.

We have a strong focus on the dealership test drive experience and ensuring we had a good understanding of the client’s experience – as pen and paper test drive forms did not provide this detail we sort out and found Dealer Drive.  Using the Dealer Drive platform, the entire team at Coventry Cars across multiple sites has absolute clarity and transparency on all test drive activity, client experience, and outcome of each test drive.  All this from the convenience of a mobile device.  A simple and easy to use solution that has provided extremely positive results for the team at Coventry Cars.

"Dealer drive is such a simple app that has a huge impact on the daily running of our group.  A few key benefits are;
No more looking for paper work, Business Managers/All staff can easily look up drivers licences and contact details within seconds. I personally look after all infringements for the The Bruce Lynton Group and without Dealer Drive it could take me weeks to find a nominated driver; now its a matter of just 30 seconds! We have all our sites/dealerships linked so I can easily view our group, stock is automatically uploaded 3 times a day via our DMS to keep accurate, and there are plenty of automated reports available that allow our Managers to monitor each department on the go. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Dealer Drive to any dealership or group."
