Communications can range from dealership promotions, services and reminders to Facebook advertising.
• Improved efficiency – Tekion takes consumer data from Sincro websites and removes duplicate records. With one consolidated view of the shopper, dealers can access comprehensive information for more meaningful interactions during the sales process.
