Driving success through innovation is more than a tagline for Pentana Solutions – it’s a way of operating. Pentana Solutions believes in great innovation and invests in research and development to the tune of 15 million dollars each year. However, when we see someone in the market with a great product suite we jump at the chance to work with them! Appraisal Solutions is one of these great operators and we’re proud to welcome them as our newest Integrated Partner.
Appraisal Solutions was borne out of sixty years of industry experience within automotive dealerships. Dealerships were ‘frustrated with lower than average quality appraisals that may have been costing them hundreds and thousands of dollars each year,’ says John Whitley, Managing Director at Appraisal Solutions. He added, ‘with the advent of online mediums such as Carsales.com.au, Red Book & Glasses Guide, the consumer now researches their trade in online, arm themselves with a perceived price for their current trade in in preparation to do battle with the dealer network. As a result, dealers and consumers are not finding the middle ground regarding their current trade in vehicle price.’ To solve this issue Appraisal Solutions created Mobile Car Appraiser for the retail automotive industry. John tells us ‘through the use of mobile technology and application of Psychological theory, Mobile Car Appraiser will help convert these consumers, lift profit margins and improve trade in opportunities.’
This partnership will enable eraPower customers to use Mobile Car Appraiser as an integrated part of their eraPower Dealer Management System. With mobility, such a significant factor in Australian dealerships’ growth strategies Dealership Management Systems and third parties will need to provide mobile solutions with deep functionality. Mobile Car Appraiser and eraPower alike are mobile ready and put the collective user base in a strong position.
Pentana Solutions is pleased to welcome the team at Appraisal Solutions to the Integrated Partner Program and looks forward to providing the market another great cohesive innovation.
