What is an automotive CRM system?

Automotive CRM (customer relationship management) software enables you to create a delightful customer journey for buyers. Collect customer data, build trust with leads and measure performance to deliver the ultimate car dealership service.

Build a database of buyers

Car sales CRM software enables your dealership to collect and centralize customer data. Glean insights into buyer behavior and make informed, impactful decisions to drive your business strategy.

Automate manual tasks

Offload time-consuming tasks such as follow-up and reminder emails to your CRM. Free up your employees and allow them to dedicate energy to engaging customers and increasing company output.

Keep your customers informed

Meet your customers on the channels they frequent the most. Manage live chat, inbound calls and emails from a central platform. Communication has never been easier.

Optimize your sales efforts

Track AHT (average handling time) and monitor your sales reps’ customer calls. Identify and address areas for improvement and assemble an all-star sales department.

Nurture leads through the entire customer lifecycle

From qualifying leads, booking test drives, assessing finance options and taking care of after-sale service, your CRM will support customers at every stage of the buyer journey.

Collect valuable referrals

Generate feedback from your customers to understand how you can improve and display glowing customer testimonials on your landing pages. Turn happy customers into referrals without the legwork.

How a car sales CRM provides better buyer experiences

56% of car buyers struggle to find the right vehicle. When they do, 31% are irritated by price negotiations and haggling.

Modern automotive CRM software helps to alleviate the tedious aspects of car buying. With automation, sending appointment reminders and scheduling test drives are done on autopilot.

Pipedrive’s CRM software for car dealerships also makes it easier to find and engage with leads online months before they buy. Understanding what the customer is looking for will increase transparency—shortening the negotiation phase.

Designed to keep you selling

With several stages involved in the car buying process and plenty of leads to monitor, it’s easy to misplace vital information. This can cause mayhem for your business and result in a poor buying experience.

Delight your customers by overseeing every stage of the buying journey and maintaining contact through Pipedrive’s car dealer system. Supervise newly qualified leads as well as buyers, solve customer pain points and monitor your sales team’s performance.
