Aeros Software Suite 2.0 is the ground-breaking new version from e-autobusiness, which includes seven Editions for dealers to choose from, which means you buy the model that delivers what you need today, and you can easily upgrade to a more powerful Edition when you are ready, without a costly and disruptive migration/re-training… that’s CRM for car people.
At e-autobusiness, we have built the entire Aeros Software Suite to help dealerships in three ways:
-
- the entire suite of solutions never loses sight of the underlying need to drive vehicle sales and service dollars in the dealership. With tools like Appointment Control and Campaign Management that are built to be easy to use and to help management visualize results and/or influence sales, Aeros focuses on the fundamentals.
-
- since our inception in 1999, we have worked with many dealers that had struggled with under-utilized systems before choosing Aeros. With too many systems on the market that over-promise and under-deliver, our goal was (and remains) to deliver a powerful set of CRM tools built and packaged so any dealer can easily implement the package that is right for them. We understand that every retailer is different, and CRM has to be flexible enough to fit each one. Crawl, Walk, Run means you purchase what you need today, and the packages offer a simple upgrade path you can move through when the time is right, and your team is ready to go. With too many one-size-fits-all systems out there, Aeros is the only partner offering seven different models to choose from.
-
- the foundation of each Edition of Aeros is a customer database designed to support any automotive retail organization. From a single dealership’s customer database to a national chain with hundreds of dealership databases, Aeros consolidates and cross-references customer data across stores to provide your “troops” with a single screen for each customer, no matter how many stores the customer has done business with in your automotive group. The Aeros software Suite’s seven editions enables a larger retail organization to deploy any Aeros Edition in any store while still realizing the enterprise database. One store can use the entry level edition, while the next can use the top end edition. The enterprise database is the foundation your CRM efforts are based on.
Every application in the Aeros software suite is accessible online from any computer with an Internet connection. This web-based architecture, referred to as “Software as a Service” (SAAS) is garnering more and more press, and customer demand, this year. Even Microsoft is now offering their work-horse Office productivity suite (MS Word, Excel, etc.) online as a hosted application.
On-Demand means:
- No proprietary hardware to purchase, install, maintain and upgrade in the future
- Low start-up costs
- Leverage your existing Internet connection, the average dealer does not need to upgrade their Internet connection to use Aeros
- Higher level of security than an on-site server (click here to learn more)
- You focus on “business,” not “technology”
- Immediate and hassle-free software version upgrades when they are available
- Grant access to employees to log in from outside the dealership, increasing productivity (configurable for each user in the store)
- Scalability & Flexibility of 7 Editions: from basic Internet Lead Management to BDC Mgt to Paperless Desking
- Modularity & Upgrade Options: Crawl, Walk, Run™ by Edition too
- Enterprise Marketing Database: 1ft view to the 100 mile view
- Many-to-one Opportunity Management: because I will own more than one vehicle in my lifetime.
- Household Database Architecture: one address = one wallet & one purse…one wallet… one purse… etc.
- Focus on the Fundamentals: modules like Appointment Control
- Personalization: each subscriber can adjust the layout
- Utilization Reporting for dealer self-assessment
- Automated Event Scheduler with Default Follow-Up Schedules
e-autobusiness’ unique and proprietary methodology for CRM design, deployment and training. Some CRM’s are “one size fits all” (not enough or too much), while others are Small-Medium-Large. But what happens when you out-grow both of these models?
