4 Ways Anvil’s Mobile App Drives Sales

Anvil’s mobile applications put the power to get things done in the palm of your hand. In today’s fast-paced, competitive world, having access to a wealth of accurate data sometimes isn’t enough. You need immediacy and flexibility to interact with customers where they are at, when you have their attention.

Inventory search, reports, tasks, notifications and more, are all accessible from wherever you need to work. Check out these 4 ways mobile access enhances your dealership’s success:

Highly Desirable Mobile Features 

We’ve all become accustomed to information at our fingertips wherever we go. The power of mobile devices is hard to deny. What sales rep wouldn’t want to harness that same capability for their own job?

“Mobile features are a real selling point for salespeople when you migrate to a new system,” says Duane Kautzman, sales strategy and asset manager at Hutson, Inc. Anvil‘s mobile access creates motivation for sales reps, not only as an incentive for buy-in to use the system, but also to ramp up their learning curve.

The end result of managing a sales team that embraces using Anvil? Richness of data, enhanced reporting and robust analytics that help you make better decisions and grow your dealership.

Engaging Customers

Mobile access eliminates the need to return to the office and perform follow-up tasks after a customer call. From the field, Anvil allows you to:

• Search inventory
• Place or release a hold on equipment
• Start a new quote
• Submit work orders
• Check work-order status
• Order transportation
• Confirm account information

Complete any of these tasks while still engaged with the customer, then head back to the office knowing that every detail is accounted for. All that’s left to do when you get back is send them a thank-you note.

Confirming Deals Instantly

Most importantly, and even more so in times of tight inventory, the mobile app empowers reps to mark equipment as sold the moment they confirm a deal. “What a great thing to do: Get out there, click on your Anvil app, and have it marked sold. Done deal,” says Kautzman.

“As fast as things are selling today, three minutes can make a difference,” he continues. “With Anvil’s mobile capability, you don’t have to worry about your customer losing out on that piece of equipment while you drive back to the office.”

For everyone else, Anvil automatically removes the sold item from available inventory and sends them a status update notification. Any reps with open quotes on that stock unit can immediately adjust their sales strategies.

Check Off, Check In, Catch Up

Mobile-enabled features allow you to make more efficient use of time and add flexibility to your day. The mobile Anvil app allows you to:

• Check the progress of work orders
• Check tasks off your to-do list
• Follow up with customers (Anvil logs calls and messages automatically)
• Review new notifications, analytic dashboards or reports.
