CLEVELAND, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Car shoppers have more ways than ever before when it comes to how and who they'll buy a car from. Technology has opened up multiple new avenues for buyers to use when deciding not just how they'll purchase their vehicle but also how they'll manage their entire vehicle ownership experience, whether it's new online stores or being able to request concierge service right from home. These latest developments in the industry have led to dealerships needing to sharpen their processes and offerings to match the new customer demands to succeed.
One way progressive dealers are improving the retail and after-sales experience for their clients is by embracing personalized video messaging as a new medium for how they communicate. By leveraging this channel, dealers are now able to speak directly to their clients and prospects in a format that studies have proven provides the highest levels of information retention. CarFilm's founder Sean Weaver first came across video being used this way during his time managing digital operations for an auto group in Cleveland, OH.
"The first time I received a video, visually and audibly walking me through the specifics of what I had inquired about, it just clicked. Of course I'd rather see the car, hear the engine, see how easy it is to drop the top, than just read an email or listen to a voicemail from a salesperson," said Sean. "This led me to think of all the possibilities beyond just emailing or texting someone a video file link, and I knew we needed to build a platform for dealers specifically."
CarFilm was built to be just that, a video messaging platform that could be used across every department within an automotive dealership, enabling them to not only send videos but also monitor the viewing behavior of the clients and deliver up additional pertinent content through CarFilm's unique Underlay. To make these deliverables even more seamless for their dealer partners, CarFilm is now truly integrated with Oplogic, a Detroit based company that provides CRM solutions for automotive dealerships. The collaboration between the two companies' products now allows users to send CarFilm videos directly within their dealership's CRM via either text or email.
"Having video built directly into the CRM makes it much easier for a dealer or manager to implement and track workflows involving video," said John Parent, President of Oplogic. "while also opening up new opportunities to build comprehensive reporting using the data we already have within a store's CRM."
CarFilm's direct integration within Oplogic's CRM has been beta tested by a select group of dealerships in the Michigan market and is now available to all Oplogic clients. CarFilm's original core platform continues to be available for all dealerships. For questions or media requests please contact CarFilm at (855) 227-3456 or Oplogic at (248) 655-0005.
