The Web’s Growth and The Strain on Auto Dealers
Growing Internet traffic is straining dealers’ abilities to keep on top of it, and some experts advise dealers to establish a dedicated Internet sales staff. Since 2007, the percentage of dealerships with dedicated Internet sales staffs has stayed steady at just over half, says the National Automobile Dealer Association’s 2010 Dealership Internet Survey. Some dealers handle Internet leads with customer service employees who set up appointments for customers. Others may empower the entire sales force to field Web inquiries.
Autoxloo’s Dealer Management Systems simplifies these problems that dealers face in our constantly advancing technological world. With our services, dealers can have an interactive website that provides most of the required services to customers like inventory, credit requests, schedule test drive and sales, links to manufacturers’ Web sites, and contact information of every department. This greatly simplifies the work load on dealership staff and increases sales. In addition, our CRM provides the all the necessary tools to manage online leads, and our Live Help gives our clients the ability to contact Autoxloo’s support team any time of the day.

January 29th 2010 marks the unofficial 124th birthday of the automobile. Karl Benz placed his paten for his vehicle, and that started the birth of what we now know as the car. Looking back and thinking about how far we have come in the industry excites me. In 124 years, the number of land speed records that have been set, racing, and transportation have all had major upgrades. In such a short amount of time no one can really know where we are going to be in another 124 years. There is a Swiss company that believes we will have a vacuum styled tube that will get you around the world in .0083 days, in other words you could travel around the world in a little under 2 hours. You might think that is impossible. Ask the creators of the automobile in 1886 if they thought that the vehicles of today would have 180-200mph on the dash and would have the safety features they have, I highly doubt they would believe you considering Karl Benz first vehicle had a top speed of 16km/h. Traveling at 12,500 mph is not going to be easy. The swiss company Acabion, invisions a elevated track that pulls in solar power and the vehicle will inductively pull its energy from the track and is foreseeing a vehicle that by 2100 will be helping people actively travel from place to place at rapid speeds making the world a much smaller place.The vehicle will be sold for $3 million in 2015 but says the price will go down with mass production. Although, I do not plan on jumping to the bank and purchasing one of these vehicles it is a possibility that this could be a brilliant investment. Depending on if this idea actually works or not, but that is part of the risk.
