DealerAssist Case Study

Many dealerships still lack a modern, easy-to-manage website and rely on a tangle of spreadsheets, manual uploads, and disconnected tools to handle inventory, leads, and customer engagement. This creates:

• Slow site launches that can take weeks or months of development and hand-holding
• Outdated inventory listings because every new car must be entered by hand
• Limited visibility and lead capture, with no analytics to track what’s working
• Fragmented workflows forcing staff to juggle email, phone calls, and multiple vendor portals

As our development team dug into dealer workflows, it became clear that there was no turnkey solution: dealers needed both a launch-ready website and a lightweight management console, all without the cost or complexity of a full DMS integration.

Over a 5-month sprint, we built DealerAssist, a standalone app that delivers a complete website plus core dealer tools in one package:

1. Instant Website Builder
• Pre-designed automotive templates optimized for desktop and mobile
• One-click import of existing site URL or direct CRM integration
• Inline editor for text, images, and CTAs so dealers can make updates without a developer

1. Automated Inventory Import
• Backend scrapers and API connectors pull in all vehicles automatically
• Real-time sync ensures listings stay current without manual entry

1. Lead & Offer Management
• Central dashboard for incoming buyer inquiries and private-seller offers
• Quick accept, archive, or follow-up actions with built-in notifications

1. Analytics & Insights
• Traffic, lead, and inventory metrics surfaced in a “Quick Snapshot”
• Detailed reports on views, lead conversions, and top-performing models
2. Streamlined Onboarding
• Guided steps: import URL > dealer info > payment > verification > template > preview
• Dual-channel (email/SMS) code verification plus manual phone check for trust

Since rollout, pilot dealers report:

• 78% faster site launches: live dealer websites in under 24 hours (vs. weeks previously)
• 51% reduction in manual listing work: zero-touch inventory import frees up an average of 4 hours/weekFamilies report a 60% reduction in time to locate lost children or property when QR codes were used.
• 34% more qualified leads: simplified lead capture and follow-up prompts boost conversions
• 24% higher site engagement: dealers see more page views per session thanks to modern designs
• 98% onboarding completion: clear, step-by-step flow and verification guarantee trust and reduce drop-outs

By combining a website solution with essential dealer tools in one lite app, DealerAssist has empowered dealerships to go live faster, manage inventory effortlessly, and drive more sales, all without the overhead of a full-scale platform.
