How we amplified lead conversion rate with custom pipelines and automated work processes

The Challenge

Fragmented systems, manual processes, and data issues

The client, a prominent dealership, specializes in providing a range of rental services for both individuals and businesses. Their offerings include short-term and long-term rentals, luxury and economy vehicle options, and additional services like insurance and roadside assistance. Despite their strong market presence, the client faced significant operational hurdles that were impacting their efficiency and customer satisfaction.

At the core of their challenges were several disconnected systems and manual processes. The dealership utilized an external inventory solution that operated in isolation from their other systems, creating a fragmented view of their inventory and rental operations. Their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, while comprehensive, was not integrated with their inventory or sales pipelines, leading to inefficiencies and increased manual effort.

The lack of integration meant that all processes were handled manually. This approach led to missed leads and neglected follow-ups at various stages of their sales pipeline. With no centralized customer database, accessing customer information was often cumbersome and time-consuming. Additionally, outdated or incorrect customer data frequently caused frustration among both customers and service representatives.

Data visibility was another major issue. Without a unified system to track and analyze their performance, the client struggled to measure progress and identify operational problems. Their current systems were described as buggy and user-unfriendly, contributing to dissatisfaction among employees and hindering their ability to deliver a seamless customer experience.

In summary, they required a complete overhaul of their systems and processes. They needed a top-to-bottom solution to streamline their sales pipeline, integrate their inventory management with their ERP, update their customer database, and enhance their data analytics capabilities.
