Identified Challenges in Dealer Communication and Document Accessibility

The client relies on a paper-based document storage system, resulting in inefficient access to sales collateral, marketing materials, and service manuals. As the dealer network expands, the lack of a centralized, digital solution hampers timely updates and effective communication, leading to operational inefficiencies and reduced dealer support capabilities.

  • Integrate with existing CRM systems to synchronize user information and activity in real-time.
  • Facilitate seamless onboarding of new dealers through automated login and user management.
  • Enable quick access to parts catalogs and manuals via integrated online resources.
  • Empower internal teams to manage content effectively with user-friendly content management tools.
  • Improve document update cycles and communication efficiency across the dealer network.
