Dealerware Selected to Support Lexus’ Leadership in Customer Service Experiences
Dealerware’s mobile-first connected car platform accelerates customer service, provides tools for automated cost recovery and is supported by the most comprehensive and responsive customer success team in the industry.
AUSTIN, Texas – Dealerware, the leading connected car platform for automotive retailers, has been selected by Lexus to join a select group of software vendors to power its newly reimagined Lexus Customer Convenience System. All 243 Lexus dealerships in North America will be able to use Dealerware’s mobile contracting, cost recovery, fleet management and reporting tools to elevate their customers’ service experiences and simplify the management of large vehicle fleets.
We look forward to helping Lexus dealers delight existing customers, attract new buyers and continue to reinforce their status as a top luxury brand.
Lexus’ approval of the Dealerware platform follows a successful nine-month pilot program through which multiple Lexus dealerships increased fleet utilization rates – as much as 18 percent – and enhanced customer service experiences amid a challenging year. At the conclusion of the pilot program, all participating dealerships elected to continue using Dealerware rather than reverting to their previous fleet management platforms.
“We began as a pilot dealer with Dealerware and elected to remain on their platform because we really like how easy it is for our team to use and the superior experience we can deliver to our customers,” said Monika Slezak, Service Manager at Lexus of Stevens Creek in San Jose, California.
