One issue with your entire dealership management software being on a desktop computer is that it takes your sales team out of their environment. Salespeople are at their best when they are interacting with customers without barriers. So, when a customer is forced to spend time with their salesperson with a desk and computer between them, it limits the salesperson's overall effectiveness.
That's why EverLogic has a mobile version of our dealership software. This version helps to eliminate those barriers and allows dealership salespeople to interact directly with customers while also using the software.

The problem with dealership software on desktop computers alone
Whenever you buy anything from a salesperson, from clothes and furniture to cars and homes, the worst part is probably when the person has to go behind a computer. If you, the customer, were truly enjoying your time with the salesperson, the computer and desk break that relationship.

Instead, you are left sitting awkwardly as the salesperson is left to type in whatever information they need to get the process rolling. You are also limited to their desk, where you can only look at the decorations in their office space for so long before your mind starts to wander. Even worse, sometimes impatience can lead to an ultimately bad experience.
This is a problem that does not always have a solution. But for customers looking to buy from your dealership, we do have an answer: EverLogic Mobile.

What EverLogic Mobile provides for salespeople
EverLogic Mobile is a game changer for salespeople. If you have a new customer walk in the door, the salesperson does not need to lead them to his or her desk to input their information into EverLogic. Instead, while standing next to the customer, they can whip out their phone, show the customer what they are doing, and add the customer to the software.

If the customer wants to see what's in your inventory, the salesperson can immediately take out their phone and search for a particular stock number, make or model. Then, the salesperson can lead the customer to whatever vehicles they are interested in buying. If the customer wants a quote, while standing next to or even inside the vehicle, the salesperson can send a quote to the customer.

All these functions are limited in the amount of information the salesperson can enter to the basics. The benefit of this being limited is it does not require the salesperson to be buried in their phone hurrying to type in a customer's information or numbers for a quote. Rather, it allows for the basics to be knocked out so by the time the customer does need to go to the computer to complete the sale, the customer has pretty much made up their mind.
Use EverLogic Mobile Dealership Software on the road
Your dealership might not do all your sales at the store. You might be on the road at a convention, or you might be the sponsor of a local event that can give you new leads. Sure, you can bring a laptop with you. But that still requires you to place it on a table and fill everything out while your lead might easily get distracted by other things.

This is again a perfect time to break out EverLogic on your phone or tablet. With EverLogic mobile, you can quickly add any contact information you gather from potential customers you meet. You can also show them what inventory you have and quote them. EverLogic Mobile can truly turn a public appearance into a sales opportunity.
How much EverLogic mobile costs
EverLogic Mobile, which includes functions for both salespeople and technicians, is $39 per license per month. As we mentioned earlier, you can't run your business from EverLogic Mobile, as it is a limited version of our dealership software. Additionally, we do require dealers to purchase a minimum of three Core Desktop licenses. However, for an extra $1.25 a day, you get a lot of flexibility that can extend your dealership's reach.

Now, if you buy the mobile license and find it is not having the effect you want, you can always remove the mobile license from your account at any time. You can rest assured knowing you won't be burdened with buyer's remorse by being stuck in a long-term contract.
Conclusion
EverLogic Mobile is a solution for the limitations of desktop and laptop computers. With EverLogic Mobile, you are not confined to a desk when you are engaging with a potential customer. You can do it anywhere from inside a vehicle on your dealership's lot to your local baseball stadium.
For $39 per month, you give your dealership's sales team flexibility and versatility. While it is not the full dealership management software you need to run your business, it enhances your experience.
