Connect Desking

The best deals for you and your customers.

The Challenge: Customers want to buy cars in store, but they don't want to wait at a desk while a dealer pushes numbers back and forth.

How We Solve It: Connect Desking helps dealers streamline the buying process. With Dealertrack data in Rates & Residuals (a Connect Desking upgrade), dealers can see current manufacturer incentives alongside bank rates.
