Customer Background
A leading automobile dealership group with multiple showrooms wanted to improve customer engagement and streamline the sales process. Traditional methods relied on brochures and desktop computers, which slowed down customer service and limited mobility inside the showroom and outdoor exhibition areas.
Challenges
Limited Mobility – Sales staff had to move customers between vehicles and office desks for price checks and financing options.
Inefficient Communication – Paper-based brochures and printed catalogs became outdated quickly.
Customer Waiting Times – Manual data entry for vehicle information and financing delayed the buying process.
Durability Issues – Consumer tablets used in showrooms were easily damaged by drops, dust, or outdoor use during car exhibitions.
Solution
The dealership deployed TOPICON MDT880 Rugged 8-inch Android Tablets with customized CRM and sales applications.
Instant Vehicle Information – Sales staff accessed real-time car specs, pricing, and financing details on the spot.
Interactive Customer Engagement – Tablets displayed multimedia content, 360° car views, and promotional videos to customers.
On-the-Spot Financing & Registration – Digital forms allowed customers to apply for financing directly, reducing paperwork.
Rugged Reliability – Tablets withstood frequent handling, accidental drops, and outdoor showroom conditions.
Flexible Mounting Options – Devices could be securely docked at the front desk or carried around during outdoor auto shows.
Results
Faster Sales Cycle – Vehicle selection and financing checks were completed 30% quicker.
Enhanced Customer Experience – Customers engaged with interactive car details without long waits.
Increased Sales Conversion – More streamlined service led to higher closing rates.
Durability & Cost Savings – Rugged tablets reduced replacement costs compared to consumer devices.
Customer Feedback
“The rugged tablets transformed the way we interact with customers. From the first showroom walk-through to financing approval, the process is smoother, faster, and more engaging.”
— Sales Director, National Auto Dealership
Conclusion
By integrating rugged tablets into the car sales process, dealerships achieved higher efficiency, stronger customer engagement, and more reliable operations—both in showrooms and outdoor exhibitions.
