Dealerweb has launched a new part exchange appraisal application for iPad.

DealerwebPro has been designed to bring a thorough, professional and consistent approach to valuing customer part-exchange vehicles and to replace dealers’ paper-based part-exchange appraisal forms.

The app allows sales staff to capture numerous images of the vehicle and save them on the app, and store information relating to every aspect of the vehicle, including its appearance and condition inside and out, its specifications and added optional equipment, and its mechanical condition.

Descriptions and images are automatically synchronised with Dealerweb’s Evo 8 internet-based showroom management system and stored as part of the appropriate customer record in the cloud.

Once stored online, full details of the vehicle can be reviewed alongside up-to-date CAP valuation data.

Sales operations director at Dealerweb James Hill said: “It can be challenging for managers to ensure all their sales staff take a consistent and thorough approach to the valuation of part-exchange vehicles, and all too often this can undermine the profitability of a transaction.

“DealerwebPro is process-driven – it facilitates a thorough appraisal to ensure no issues are missed, and it gives customers valuable reassurance that the suggested part-exchange value is robust and based on sound analysis.”

As with every standard Evo 8 module, customers of DealerwebPro will benefit from free ongoing updates as part of their user licence.

Dealerweb’s Evo 8 showroom management system is used by dealers to manage new and used car sales and help drive improvements in efficiency and profitability. Evo 8 manages the full sales process, from initial customer enquiry through to placement of an order and financial reporting.
