VinSolutions

The VinSolutions App for Android is a mobile-optimized CRM used exclusively for automotive dealership teams, putting essential sales tools in the showroom, service lane, and vehicle lot. The app is designed to extend VinSolutions Connect CRM system and revolutionises how sales people and managers work with customers, carry out dealership management software tasks and track leads while away from their desk.

What Will Your Customer See on the Sales Floor?

The app offers everything needed for the fast-paced world of dealerships. Users will be able to instantly capture data with the help of VIN scanning and drivers’ license scanning at the experience, which will remove the need to jot down notes using a clipboard and have to wait till the user returns to a PC. With the ability to scan a customer’s license to auto-populate a contact or scan a vehicle identification number to express interest and take notes all in the lot. Salespeople can see availability and specifications anywhere, answering customer questions in real time with the vehicle inventory search function.

Communication tools are woven throughout. The integrated “customer texting” function contains multimedia messages. So every communication is always captured in customer records for compliance and follow-up. Each dealer phone call is logged. Push notification and alert management tracks appointments and other status for the team. Dashboards for sales personnel and managers enable performance tracking, and ability to manage mobile co-buyer entry enables linking customer records and adding co-buyers without going back inside.

But here’s the thing – the app needs Android 11 or higher and a constant internet connection. You can’t use this program without Wi-Fi or data because it’s not offline capable. It is primarily aimed at the dealership and not customers.

Everyday life; the true story

User feedback paints a mixed picture. The app typically has a 2.5-star review rating on Google Play, with users complaining about issues with performance and bugs. Users’ experiences indicate that synchronization lags can hamper your workflow. The UI can also get sticky when overloaded. New hires find it difficult to adapt, especially if they are not used to mobile CRM. The app is a Swiss Army knife of dealership operations. It can do a lot of things, but it is not as easy as it seems.

Key features that work well include.

– Driver’s license and VIN scanning to instantly obtain information.
– Alerts and task boards keep you on track.
– Multimedia texting helps record CRM from customer text.
– Spot Tracking and note taking in showroom
– The ability to search and manage stock levels in real time.

The catch? The ambition of the feature set does not always match the stability and speed, and you are totally dependent upon connectivity.

Who This Serves Best

Currently, the application has no ads and doesn’t support in-app purchases in keeping with its B2B status. Dealers using VinSolutions desktop now have anywhere access with VinSolutions mobile app, making every corner of the lot potential for your dealership.
