CONNECT DESKING

Get The best deals for you and your customers

The Challenge

Today’s customers are looking for a connected, cohesive car-buying experience, whether they are finalizing the deal in store, online or some combination. But many customers are forced to restart their deal-making process every time they interact with the dealership.

How We Solve It

Desking a car deal refers to the process of offering options to customers so an agreement on a selling price, financing terms, and monthly payments can be reached. Our automotive desking software streamlines the buying process by showing current manufacturer incentives alongside bank rates.

“Connect Desking is a huge asset to us. It allows for so many different possibilities for the customers in a timely fashion. It saves us a lot of time. Picking up one or two minutes per deal multiplied by the 1200 deals we work a month is a lot of time. The desking tool is a huge asset to us here at Mohawk Honda, and we couldn’t do it without it.”
