Dealer Support
Dedicated, 1:1 support comes standard with every contract.
White Glove Service
We’re not a vendor who offers basic training, a pat on the back and a wish of good luck. We’re your long-term business partner, here to help you evolve your processes and optimize the use of our platform to become more successful. Our Integrations and Support teams will listen and learn about your business, and develop customized, scalable strategies to help you smoothly transition towards omnichannel commerce at your own pace.
Industry Experts
Every Roadster partner is assigned a dedicated Dealer Success Manager. Our DSMs are subject matter experts in both automotive and retail. Beyond helping you optimize the use of our platform, these trusted advisors can also consult you in all areas of the business — process flow optimization, lead management, digital ad trends and more. Leverage their deep industry insights to help your dealership grow in the green field of digital retail.
Added Value
When we visit your store, it’s not to drop off donuts; it’s to deliver real value. Each time, we’ll dive deeply into data and analytics. We’ll show you benchmarks for success and how you’re performing against competitors. We’ll expand upon your processes and focus on ways to optimize your business. We’ll also gather feedback so that we can continually improve our products for you.
Details, Please!
10 ways we set you up for success at every step.
Preliminary calls
We’ll listen and learn about your store to gain a deep understanding of its processes and pricing strategy. Then, we’ll identify areas of opportunity and advise you on how to best build your Express Store. Finally, we’ll offer you a preview of your Express Store, introduce you to your Dealer Success Manager, schedule your training and let you know what we will cover.
Implementation and systems integration
Our Implementation Team will set up an inventory feed through your existing provider. They’ll load your specified finance and lease rates, layering in all applicable incentives, rebates, taxes, service plans and accessories. They’ll also integrate your current systems — website providers, CRM companies, lending solutions, etc. — into our platform to help your team function as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Compliance clearance
Whether it’s OEM compliance, regional market compliance or your own dealership’s legal compliance — we’ll go through the necessary steps to ensure you’re in the clear before launch day.
Roadster Academy
Our guided learning portal allows you to self-educate about our platform on your own time. With separate multimedia courses and quizzes designed for each role within your dealership, everyone can become “Express Storefront Certified” prior to training day.
Onsite activation and training
We’ll be at your dealership on launch day (and the day after) to train your entire staff on the customer journey, as well as the sales agent and deal-management tools. We’ll start with a management meeting to customize our training to your existing process. Then we’ll conduct both large-group demos and one-on-one training. We’ll solidify everyone’s knowledge of our tools by using them in live scenarios with customers.
Personalized follow-up and store visits
Your DSM will call you every few weeks to make sure everything is going smoothly. You might discuss setting up your CRM, on-boarding new hires, modifying configurations and reviewing our reporting suite. They will also visit your dealership every 6 weeks to review customized reports, identify any gaps in your processes and advise you on how to optimize the use of our products.
Quarterly and end-of-year reviews
Your DSM will provide you with periodic written reports detailing the evolution of your time on our platform. They will also indicate areas of improvement and forecast where you’re headed.
Reporting suite and resource library
Optimize your Express Store where you need it most. You can review general reports in your Dealer Admin. You can also download play books and best practices for implementation, lead follow-up, in-store processes, trade valuation, F&I, marketing and more.
Live webinars and “Office Hours”
Brush up on Express Storefront basics every Tuesday with live webinars. Ask our experts your questions every Thursday during Roadster Office Hours.
Support that never stalls
Your dedicated DSM is almost always available to you via email, text or call. If you ever need backup assistance, you can reach our live Dealer Support Team 24/7 at [email protected] or 800-755-7355.
