CAP data chosen to underpin innovative new Dealer Management System
CONFIDENCE in CAP’s track record of used values accuracy and new vehicle data integrity has led to CAP data availability being integrated into the latest Dealer Management System launched to UK car dealers.
The Arkona Dealer Management Solution has been developed for the UK by leading automotive business skills and IT specialists MCL in partnership with Arkona, the American market leader in e-Business technological solutions for automotive retail car dealers.
The Arkona Dealer Management Solution system is designed as scalable to meet the needs of any size dealer and aims to address what MCL and Arkona describe as a lack of real choice for the UK motor retail sector.
The MCL-Arkona partnership says it is committed to reducing dealers’ business management costs and increasing dealer profitability – with CAP data lying at the core of that pledge.
MCL Business Development Manager Steve Peet said: “We have long experience of using CAP data and that has given us confidence in CAP used values and New Vehicle Data.
“Other reasons for building CAP data availability into the UK version of the Arkona Dealer Management Solution are that the CAP database is easily and reliably integrated, the data quality is high and has a strong track record on accuracy and integrity which are all important factors for our customers.”
