VoIP For Auto Agencies
Vehicle agencies encompass a mix of operations that include the sale of new and used cars together with various service functions. As dealers continue to sell a wide variety of models and makes at several geographic locations, operations will only get more tricky to manage.
Agencies need strong yet flexible services to support increasingly multifaceted operations. Telecomms suppliers are currently offering specifically tailored VoIP hosted pbx systems for agencies that include attendant tools, unified messaging, automated attendant capabilities, and mobility services.
Traditional premises-based gear brings heavier costs and more restrictions than VoIP options. With these tailored VoIP service packages, dealers may be able to scale back their total communications cost and boost performance across all departments.
Dealer Communications Challenges
It is critical for dealerships to efficiently manage inward-bound calls. Step one to building service relationships or closing a sale is quick and correct call processing. The right communication tools can successfully support attendants with net-based line-status monitoring and automatic overflow to an IVR. Dealers can also handle in-going call traffic thru web-based service-center applications that provide call distribution across a multitude of attendant resources.
Car dealerships that provide quality service and build relationships with customers will have returning customers. Handling multiple buyers efficiently and effectively needs communications tools that have a lot of functionality but are also straightforward to use. Suppliers are offering unified messaging capabilities and mobility tools to dealers that are configured through a web interface with little difficulty. These tools allow a sales operative to manage in-going calls and messages, even during the busiest times of the year.
Dealerships are increasingly managed as multi-site operations because of increased consolidation within the industry. As a consequence, their operations are offering increased available inventory and reduced overhead. The ability to function as an integral company is impeded by multiple phone systems, but now, multi-site dealerships can receive trusty, integrated services that will improve their communication and dealer performance.
VoIP Economics
These services eliminate the layers of support and maintenance equipment costs required for PBX and Key System. In addition, they allow agents to simplify communications management, and reduce costs by providing voice and information services through a single channel.
Providers also offer the economic advantage of service bundling by including connectivity, nationwide/local minutes, unified messaging, and feature-functionality into their voice packages. Data services regularly include Net access, site-to-site VPN connectivity, and web/e-mail/applications.
