Interactive Automated Marketing and Customer Service Solution Ensures More Service Business for Auto Dealers

LEVITTOWN, New York – (February X, 2010) – Parayil & Mann Dealer Services Inc. (PMDS), today announced it has added the powerful CIMA Systems suite of service customer communications and profit-building tools to its DealerUps Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.

Called ServiceUps, this module complements DealerUps front-end CRM, and adds dynamic, multi-platform customer communications and marketing tools to drive business in fixed operations departments.  ServiceUps communicates to customers in their preferred method – email, phone, text, Live Chat, etc. – and automatically so no opportunity to bring customers back into the service lane is missed.

ServiceUps powered by CIMA Systems, offers:

• AutoRemind: Unlimited marketing campaigns, including new service appointment reminders, vehicle ready notifications, special order parts arrival notifications, service thank you letters, service CSI surveys and service-due notifications, among others.
• AutoAppoint: Automated service scheduling that allows customers to schedule confirmed service appointments 24/7, 365 days a year via web or automated phone.
• S.M.A.R.T Service Menus: Interactive online service menus marketed proactively to customers based on each customer’s vehicle parameters. Dealers can capture more service business when customers know beforehand what services are required for their vehicle with respective prices.
• eCapture: An email appending tool which captures valid email addresses for those customers without one within the dealerships DMS.
• CIMAVision ROI Analytical & Reporting Tool: Reports regarding customers, communication ROI’s, employee productivity, customer satisfaction and revenues.

“One of our primary goals for 2010 was to add an effective set of tools to DealerUps for the service department to create a true full-fledged service and sales CRM. ServiceUps powered by CIMA Systems more than fulfills that goal,” commented Guy Manasse, DealerUps President.

“It was critical for us to offer a system that is both affordable and helps dealers find lost opportunities within their own service department database. The icing on the cake is that the CIMA System enables dealers to communicate all these marketing ideas with very little added cost, using email, the web, text, Live Chat, IVR and more in a single tool that is simple to use,” Manasse added.

CIMA Systems President & CEO Gary Nixon agreed. “ServiceUps added to the DealerUps CRM gives dealers the flexibility, speed and robust technology to communicate in all the emerging formats, interactively, to drive service business and retain more customers.”

PMDS’ DealerUps (www.dealerups.com) is a state-of-the-art CRM system that enables automotive dealers to effectively manage current and prospective customers from one database.

 CIMA Systems is the leading provider of multi-channel marketing communications technologies to the automobile industry. SJCC is a leading consultancy on automotive business management, internal controls and computer utilization. DealerStar is an open system DMS and integrates seamlessly with CIMA Systems for seamless customer communications.

 Jerome, also an auto dealership technology trends writer, said she’s keenly aware of the need for hands-off customer communications tools in the dealership environment today. “The biggest problem with most CRM/DMS systems is that they rely on constant human labor to be successful,” she said. “Today, most dealerships are operating with a limited labor force and customer retention is suffering. With CIMA products, all two-way marketing communications runs automatically in the background, allowing dealerships to remain in contact with their customers in the manner they prefer, whether by email, live chat, telephone, texting or blogs. CIMA is the most advanced product I have seen to drive business into a dealership.”

 “I’ve known Sandi for more than 10 years,” said Gary Nixon, president and CEO, CIMA Systems, “and we are pleased to offer this special pricing to her dealership customers. She is one of the most respected computer consultants in the industry, and we are honored to be chosen as the exclusive provider of marketing communications for SJCC and DealerStar.”

CIMA Systems is the leading provider of multi-channel marketing communications technologies to the automobile industry. Under this new partnership, Insignia will offer their dealership customers the opportunity to proactively promote their parts and accessories through CIMA’s advanced patent-pending marketing communication tools which is integrated with the Insignia Accessories Sales System. The new offering brings Insignia dealerships unlimited marketing communications capabilities (e.g.. new vehicle/service promotions, service appointment reminders, seasonal events/promotions, automated appointment system via web & phone, etc.) and provides a complete dealership virtual business development center for dealerships.

“We have partnered with CIMA Systems for the past two years and have seen that dealers who combine the Insignia Accessories Sales System with CIMA’s advanced proactive marketing campaign solution have seen a significant increase in customers returning to their dealership for sales, service, and parts & accessories business,” said David Stringer, president of Insignia Group. “The special CIMA pricing our partnership brings dealerships delivers tremendous marketing value to our customers for a small fraction of what most others dealerships are paying to promote their services today”.

The partnership further streamlines the Insignia sales process by allowing dealerships to proactively promote their products and specials. As an example, CIMA will automatically send a custom email from the dealership’s parts department to a new vehicle customer congratulating them on their purchase. The customer will also receive a promotion (i.e.10% off any accessory purchased within 30 days) to thank them for their business. By simply clicking a link that is contained in the email, the customer will be taken directly to the dealership’s Insignia Accessories System, allowing them to easily shop for accessories and personalize their vehicle. Purchases can be made on-line, and the CIMA System will automatically notify the customer when the accessories arrive for installation. The customer can then schedule the accessory installation using CIMA’s AutoAppointment system. As an added convenience, CIMA automatically reminds the customer of the appointment, allowing them to confirm or reschedule as needed.

“We at CIMA are very excited to expand our relationship with Insignia,” states Gary Nixon President and CEO of CIMA Systems. “The combination of CIMA and Insignia makes it extremely easy for dealership customers to do business with them by automating the entire marketing and purchase process. In today’s economic times, dealers need these tools to drive more business in the most cost effective way”.
