Free Add-Ons: Absolute Sourcing and New Car Pricing
Absolute Sourcing and New Car are available at NO CHARGE for existing customers using Core Inventory+* until 6/30/2020.
With Absolute Sourcing, your dealership will use TrueScore and your Ideal Inventory Model algorithms to quickly identify your most profitable vehicles, and where to find them, whether in recently missed appraisals, in-group inventory, or auctions. This gives dealerships flexibility to stock profitable vehicles through alternate means, especially important during these trying times.
New Car Pricing helps your dealership take control of your pricing. You can update new car pricing in bulk, understand listing price, sold price, and other analytics so you can be strategic with pricing in your market.
*Core customer means Inventory+ customers who are using TrueScore and/or Ideal Inventory Model.
