JATO Dynamics Partners with Dealer.com
TROY, Mich., Feb. 19 -- JATO Dynamics, the leading supplier of automotive market intelligence, announces it has partnered with Dealer.com to combine their comprehensive industry data with Dealer.com's innovative technology to create the most progressive vehicle research and configuration tool on the market. With the release of the QuoteFactory(TM) 3.0 (QF3) platform, Dealer.com was able to launch 350 new car franchise clients in one day at the 2003 NADA convention in San Francisco. "These dealers range from small Chevy dealers to the largest Nissan and Honda dealers in the world," said Dealer.com CEO Mark Bonfigli. "We understand dealers know the difference between quality new car data that engages local Internet shoppers and corporate website data designed solely to help the manufacturer." Dealer.com's QF3 platform provides a complete vehicle research and configuration capability while delivering real-time price quotes 24-7. Customers can build a new vehicle from start to finish, using factory trim levels and available options and submit requests to the dealership. QF3 features 360 degree Interior/Exterior photo spins, detailed image library with color-matched models, and full research pages. Tech Specs, Option Packages, Individual Options and Vehicle Summary are also included. "QF3 will be the new standard of Online Automotive Configurators," said Bonfigli. "We are delighted to have been selected as the exclusive data provider for the QuoteFactory(TM) 3.0. We know how diligently Dealer.com has worked at bringing in the best source of car specifications data to support their car shopping solution. The dealer community will have much to be excited about once they see the new QuoteFactory 3.0," said Dan Krease, Eastern Division Sales Manager for JATO. Launching 350 new franchise dealers in one day clearly suggests the new "QF3" is going to have a significant impact in the retail automotive marketplace.
