Essentials vs. VinSolutions

VinSolutions is a very deep application that can do it all, if that's what you're looking for. It is well-suited for active lead management. The reporting functionality could use some drastic simplification.

• Receiving leads from all website and third-party sources, and notifying employees when leads come in.
• Looking up reports. There are premade reports, and you can create your own reports to pull, or even to pull automatically at certain times.
• Settings roles and authorizations for employees, so they do not have too much access to alter the way they want to use it, but it's set upper manager's request.

• Could be easier to use - not the most intuitive setup I have seen.
• Realistically, it feels like VinSolutions and vAuto could be combined into a single product.

Technical support, general customer support, implementation support are all top notch. All representatives from the company check in every couple weeks to make sure all is going well; if there is a problem, I generally have a solution given within hours if not soon; and they are friendly, easy to understand, and do a great job. Well done!

I have not personally used other products.

Incentivized

• By tracking front and back end gross openly, it seems to incentivize sales people to try harder to hold onto money.
• It does a great job of ensuring customer satisfaction by reminding sales associates to follow through on sales and follow up post-sale.
• Reporting functions make it easy to track leads, hand them off to different reps who are possibly better suited to complete the sale.
