How Dabadu supports Kia dealerships
Dabadu's capabilities are the same whichever brand a store sells. What changes by manufacturer is the program the store buys under, not the software.
- CRM and XRM
- One customer record across sales, finance and service, rather than one per department.
- Lead management
- Capture, routing, ownership and follow-up across every source the store runs.
- Centralized communication
- Calls, SMS, email and voicemail against the customer record, in English and French.
- Inventory
- New and used stock, pricing and aging signals connected to the deal.
- Trade-in and appraisal
- Appraisals that stay attached to the customer and the deal they belong to.
- Equity mining
- Envision surfaces customers in a position to change vehicle, from the data the store already holds.
- Desking
- Deal structuring with the numbers the desk and the customer are both looking at.
- Lender connectivity
- Applications prepared and packaged for submission to the lenders the store works with.
- Digital retailing
- Online steps that carry into the same deal rather than starting a separate one.
- Reporting
- Store and group level reporting on pipeline, activity and outcomes.
- Service workflows
- Service activity on the same record, so retention work starts from the full history.
- Identity, credit and compliance
- Identity verification, credit and consent handling built into the process.
