ProMax Dealer Updates

ProMax version release - 9.7.39. December 4, 2012

Version Update Highlights:

• MAZDA CERTIFIED - ProMax is now a Certified Lead Management Provider for Mazda! Our real-time disposition reporting is now live. Call Melissa Sinclair to sign up.  

ProMax is a certified lead management tool for most OEM manufacturers. Leads can be sent directly into a dealership's ProMax system.  This allows dealers to work all their incoming internet leads, as well as leads received from the manufacturer, in one system. The manufacturers response time clock is automatically stopped as soon as the lead is responded to from within ProMax. Dealerships can also have a copy of the lead sent directly to their smart phone. Responding to the lead from a smart phone gives the dealership the ability to stop the clock 24/7 no matter where you are.

Using ProMax for your internet leads, including your manufacturer leads, streamlines everything into one easy to manage system.
