Some of us remember this phone - the Nokia 3310. This phone came out in Sept 2000. This phone was extremely successful - selling over 126M units. But it was JUST a phone. It mainly did 1 thing. Make calls.
If you are a mobile phone user today, would you still carry this phone? Or have you updated to a smartphone like an iPhone, Pixel or Galaxy?

Let's think about this. Until the smartphone became popular, we would carry around a phone, a digital camera, a laptop, a voice recorder, magazines and so much more. Today the smartphone has wrapped all these things into a single device. It makes calls, it texts, we surf the web, take photos, do banking, read books, play games and so much more.

Why is it that so much of our dealership software is like the Nokia 3310 - doing just one thing? Sure - the software you use has gotten more polished - maybe a few more reports - but the core is still the same - it only does recon.

At LoopMeIn our goal is different. Our goal is to be a smartphone - to create something that does more than just 1 thing. We want to tackle challenges that your dealership faces each and every day. Things that you as manager or employee need to be kept In The Loop on. Sure - we do recon. We work with your vendors but we do so much more than that. We aren't JUST a recon software. To find out what we bring to the table and how we can help you ...drop us a line!

New Vehicle Order Pipeline Tracking & Management ✅

In today's environment of custom orders and not enough supply of inventory on the ground - having a process for tracking these orders is critical.

There are so many ways for these orders to slip through the cracks. Communication with customers lost. Lack of transparency with the customer resulting in poor CSI and buying experiences and so much more. The new Order Pipeline function within LoopMeIn allows our users to track their orders, share updates with customers and keep their sales staff about availability and order updates.

We've talked to stores big and small - some with over 3500 cars in their pipeline - and they're managing this cumbersome process with paper or spreadsheets! One of clients believes this system will save their employees 10+ hours a week just by putting this information at everyone's fingertips!

Whether you are a retail, commercial / fleet, or Municipal dealership this feature can help you stay on top of your orders and keep your team and customers engaged with the process!

This is just another example of the many ways that LoopMeIn can help keep you InTheLoop!

2023 is upon us and we couldn’t be more excited about what is just around the corner for us!

Thank you to our wonderful customers - we’ve enjoyed working with you all this past year and we know you will continue to find great success in the New Year!

Our industry continues to change and we will continue to grow and adapt!

More exciting features are coming soon - stay tuned!

Happy New Years to all - may your future be filled with success!

🥂🥂Cheers!🥂🥂

This Halloween, let's finally bury bad dealership habits. For example, that spreadsheet that only the Used Car Manager can decipher. Wouldn't a recon program that is customizable to your dealerships' processes and that everyone had access to, on both mobile and desktop, be better?

Let us show you how to get rid of the spooky ghosts of dealership operations past and move into a new era of communication where everyone is in the Loop.

This Halloween season, let's finally bury bad dealership habits. For example, that crumpled invoice from the dent & paint guy that's now indecipherable and sitting on your office managers desk. Wouldn't a clean invoice with a clear management approval to pay be better?

It's Monday, let's get it started!!!

This motivational Monday quote is from the great Les Brown, discover more of his quotes and advice at: https://lesbrown.com/

This "Throwback Thursday" we celebrate McGrath Auto Group and WOW look at the MPG on the Opel Kadett!

In 1964, Mr. McGrath bought a Buick dealership in Elgin and renamed it McGrath Buick. He later built the first stand-alone Honda dealership in the Chicago area and opened McGrath Nissan with a son in 1990.

The anchor store of the business was McGrath Buick.
"That was the mother store. That's what got everybody else started," said a daughter, Kelly Buckley.

The end of the month will be here before you know it. Remember that vendor's invoice you found in your suit pocket on Monday morning? Yeah, AP won't be happy because the car has now sold - and pulling back commission won't help either.

Doing work twice is the fastest way to burn profits. With instant automated invoicing, this problem goes away.

We are proud of all of our dealer partners, both Franchise and Independent. This week is the start of the NIADA conference, you can watch live here: https://niada.com/live-coverage/

The LoopMeIn team was in South Carolina yesterday learning from dealers and finding ways to serve dealerships better.

courtesy of our friends at the North Carolina Automotive Dealers Association. This night NCADA hosted country-themed night in the late 1960s at the annual family convention in Pinehurst, North Carolina where dealer members wore straw hats and some even wore overalls. Just think how the business has changed since then...

to the late 1960s at our annual family convention in Pinehurst, NC. This night NCADA hosted country-themed night where dealer members wore straw hats and some even wore overalls.

This year NCADA will be traveling to Ponte Vedra Florida for four days and hosting another theme night. This year we will be celebrating "Welcome to Margaritaville"! We ask that everyone come in their best Margaritaville attire!

See you there!

No, Memorial Day isn't about a long weekend road trip, backyard barbecue or sales. The real meaning of the national holiday is much more somber.

Originally called Decoration Day, Monday's holiday honors all soldiers who died during service to the nation.

Memorial Day was declared a national holiday through an act of Congress in 1971, and its roots date back to the Civil War era, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

Unlike Veterans Day, Memorial Day honors all military members who have died in while serving in U.S. forces.

Did you know LoopMeIn works with both Independent and Franchise Dealerships?

Yesterday we met with Jerry Padrick of M &M Auto Sales in Lumberton, North Carolina. Mr. Padrick is also the CIADA Vice President for North Carolina. Our team at LoopMeIn is always striving to learn and meet the needs of our dealer partners. Learn more about our partnership with the NIADA and the CIADA here: https://lnkd.in/gfxQz2fN

Happy Mother's Day from the LoopMeIn team!

Is your dealership planning on accepting cryptocurrency or do you already accept cryptocurrency?

"Cryptocurrency is still emerging. But more dealerships are beginning to accept it as payment for a vehicle. Last month, Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell in Kentucky sold a certified pre-owned 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 to a buyer in Saudi Arabia who had submitted an Internet lead and paid using the ethereum cryptocurrency, said Kevin Frye of Jeff Wyler Automotive Family."

More dealerships choosing to accept cryptocurrency Jeff Wyler Automotive Family, with 23 dealerships in three states, completed its first vehicle transaction using cryptocurrency in April at a store in Kentucky.
