Cox Automotive Delivers First Synchronized Marketing, Sales, Service and Operations Solution

ATLANTA, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Automotive today announced its suite of dealer software solutions that connects marketing, sales, service, and operations builds better consumer experience and improves retail bottom line by using robust first-party consumer data insights from the world's most trusted consumer automotive platforms, Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book.

Dealers using Dealer.com, VinSolutions, Xtime and Dealertrack DMS solutions have seen positive impacts to their bottom line, including averages of up to 19% more leads per month,¹ 49% more deals closed,² $115,000 more revenue per month,³ and $110 more on every repair order.⁴

"A common challenge we find in the industry is that the tools and data insights serving different segments of the business don't often connect, slowing down overall operations and hampering consumer satisfaction," says Lori Wittman, senior vice president, Dealer Software Solutions at Cox Automotive. "Cox Automotive is in a unique position to provide a data-integrated, full spectrum of software solutions and support from performance experts because consumers are more satisfied, and dealerships are more profitable when departments are in sync."
