Feature is designed to offer a modern, streamlined enhancement to operational performance and decision-making.
Benchmark
Benchmark Data Suite, a provider of data-driven solutions for the automotive industry, launched a Group View feature designed to streamline monthly auto group meetings and for individual dealerships looking for the same valuable information they would receive as a part of a Dealer 20 group. The tool is set to help dealerships manage, analyze and act on their data for accuracy, efficiency and actionable insights.
Dealership Data Management
The automotive industry has long grappled with the inefficiencies of traditional data-management methods. Benchmark Data Suite’s Group View feature is meant to address the challenges head-on, providing a modern, streamlined solution to enhance operational performance and decision-making.
“Dealerships have been stuck in a cycle of delayed, inaccurate, and often overwhelming data,” said Benchmark founder and CEO Dan Trinidad. “With our Group View feature, we’re shifting the paradigm to offer real-time, accurate data that not only saves time and money but also drives meaningful improvements across the board.”
Key Benefits
Real-time, accurate data: Group View provides daily, real-time information, with data aggregated and cleansed consistently for precise, apples-to-apples comparisons.
Multi-group participation: Dealerships can now belong to multiple groups without incurring additional costs, allowing for broader benchmarking and collaborative opportunities, enhancing the value of data-driven decisions.
Cost and time efficiency: Group View eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming travel, lodging and meeting expenses. By bringing everything online, dealerships can save valuable resources while still accessing data insights.
Proactive alerts: The built-in alert system notifies dealerships immediately when there’s an issue, pinpointing exactly where to look and how to address it. The proactive approach enables real-time adjustments, helping to mitigate potential issues before they escalate.
Expert-led virtual meetings: Benchmark hosts monthly virtual meetings moderated by industry experts to translate data into actionable tasks, providing dealerships with guidance to resolve challenges and enhance performance.
Affordable and comprehensive: At $299 per month, Group View offers a comprehensive solution that undercuts the cost and inefficiency of traditional methods, making it accessible to dealerships of all sizes.
