Kicking Fake Offers to the Curb: Get the REAL Deal

Over the last few years, we’ve been hard at work developing an end-to-end commerce solution. You may have heard the term ‘digital retailing’. Many meanings are floating around. It could be a confusing term. Let’s unpack what it really means.

At AutoFi, digital retailing means a platform that can transact with customers, in real-time. To sum it up, it means your customer can easily buy a car on your website or in-store.  

Now let’s take it a little further. Imagine if your customers could select a car from your inventory, determine payment options, value their trade-in, and include your back-end products? That sounds good, right?

Well, let’s go even further. What happens if your sales team receives contextual leads and can send digital offers? Your team can stay in touch with the shopper during every step of the buying process.

More importantly, AutoFi’s digital shopping experience means you can engage with shoppers through the entire process. What’s next? It’s time to close the deal.

Unfortunately, this is where other online shopping experiences fall short. The momentum stalls. The shopper has to come into the store and apply for credit. You were so close to getting the sale!

Here’s what’s really happening: Many people feel the car selling process is less than desirable. Statistics show that 87% of people dislike something about the car buying process and 61% feel they’re taken advantage of. There’s a big problem.

Let’s Change That

What happens if AutoFi can solve that problem? What happens if you could transact with your customers and close them online? Here’s where AutoFi knocks it out of the ballpark!
