Brown said that Pentana had been principally recognized by BRW for its ability to deliver enhanced value to its clients.
“We told Inventium and BRW that the bulk of our customers were retail automotive dealers who not only sell cars but service them too,” said Brown. “With service work being very profitable for our clients we set about finding a way to improve the end customers’ ability to book service work for their car. We knew retail dealers needed another way to take advantage of the mobile and second screen phenomenon. In response, we created Online Service Booking and integrated it into each of our Dealer Management Systems. Some dealers are now seeing in excess of 190 bookings through this product each month, which is great to see.”
Brown said that the development of Handle, a new solution for connecting its automotive dealerships to the spare parts trade, was another important innovation.
“Pentana Solutions clients’ customers are moving to a different buying model for spare parts and therefore need to keep car dealers ahead of the trend,” said Brown. “Buyers of automotive spare parts will order from where it is most convenient and the internet is never closed. Websites like Amazon and eBay offer dealers an established customer base, but those who listed parts online suffered from time losses due to excess paperwork from reconciling online parts orders. Enter Handle.
“Handle is a piece of software that makes selling parts online easier. It seamlessly connects to Pentana’s Dealer Management System (including accounting) to multiple ecommerce websites, saving automotive dealers valuable time. With Handle, dealers can sell automotive parts online faster than ever before through their existing software of choice.”
