How Data Influences the Customer Experience
Nearly the entire car shopping process today
is done online. Putting together all the puzzle
pieces of your digital strategy is critical to your
sales success.

THE AVERAGE CAR SHOPPER

However, without a steady base to set the pieces,
not even the most well thought out plan can stay
in place. Accurate and complete data is key
to your entire strategy.

DEVOTES

Pricing and incentives play a big role in all of this.
The vehicle's price is the most vital information
listed on third-party portals, dealer websites,
desking applications and other touch points
throughout the car buying process. As a car
shopper continues down the purchasing funnel
and expresses interest in a specific vehicle,
incentives are applied to make the price more
attractive. In order for dealers to protect their
profit margins, incentive data needs to be
accurate, timely and complete to ensure the
best price can be offered without sacrificing the
bottom line.
Our complete ChromeData catalog of vehicle
data covers all OEMs in the U.S. and Canada for
the past 30 years. Coupled with our sophisticated
vehicle description web service strengthened
further by OEM build data, we facilitate every
stage of the car buying process for everyone in
the automotive ecosystem.
