As consumers are using the Internet to research, locate and buy both large and small durable goods, the auto industry has realized that increasing their presence on the web and offering purchasing solutions to consumers is extremely important. Until recently, the only solution auto dealers could offer is to “Provide a Quote”. ABS takes this one step further by allowing real-time interaction between consumers and dealers with their LIVEoffer application, including the OurSEM and LiveOffer solutions.
LIVEoffer gives car dealers a Business to Consumer (B2C) Web Services Platform providing patent pending user aggregated database management tools, and automated virtual storefronts that allow customers to e-Negotiate dealer direct new and used car prices online in real-time. Through OurSEM, ABS’ enterprise platform also provides for the creation of online advertising and the monitoring of keyword and targeted search terms so dealers can control these costs. Ultimately, ABS’ solutions are the foundation for auto dealers to provide a rich user experience on the web-whether a consumer is researching a car or ready to purchase one.
