Managing Your Checkout Customers

Once you are logged in to Showroom System you will be taken to their profile. From here you can follow up the client to turn the lead into a sale.

On the profile page you will have a single page view of the customer’s orders and all the completed actions. All information gathered about the customer throughout the Checkout journey is gathered here.

To manage any of your leads at any point, click on the leads tab. In the leads tab you will be able to search through your leads, assign yourself to a particular lead and determine the type of lead it is. Eg - a partially completed finance application. You can also filter your leads by date.

Managing Your Checkout Customers Quotes

The Quick Quote page gives a full breakdown of the latest quote that the customer has created in the Checkout. Any changes made by the customer are updated here. If needed, you can adjust the quote for the customer on this screen. The customer then simply needs to refresh the Checkout to see these adjustments.

Managing Your Checkout Part Exchanges Rules (Optional)

You can add any part-exchange rules you may have within the 'Part Exchange Rules' tab of Showroom System. Click on 'Add a new rule' and you can select if there will be an uplift, reduction or exclusion and the percentage amount. You can also select the manufacturer, model, variant and fuel type.

Managing Your Checkout Finance Applications (If Required)

As the customer completes the application form, their details are saved in the Showroom application every few seconds. This means that Showroom System always reflects what the customer is seeing on their screen and, if they need any help, you have what they need to answer their questions.

Managing Your Checkout Order Statuses

The proposal status page lists all the actions which a customer and you have to perform to complete an order. The actions are displayed in a kanban-style layout which makes keeping track of the tasks and who needs to complete them very simple.

As a customer passes through the Checkout journey, the task cards move to Completed and display a summary of any additional information you might need in the Notes section on the right-hand side of the screen.

Prompting Your Customers to Remote Buy a Vehicle

If the customer hasn’t quite made up their mind about the finance product they want or the vehicle they want to order, then the retailer can trigger an email prompt via the Remote Apply feature in the Showroom System Quote screen. This could also be used if the customer has dropped out of the journey and, after a conversation with the customer, you have adjusted the quote or want to enhance the deal and send it to the customer for review.

Reviewing The Status Of A Finance Proposal Application

You can review the status of your proposal in the Proposal Status area. The dashboard provides you with the status of the proposal, what stage the proposal is at and what documents are required.

Creating Finance Quotes In Showroom System - Step 1

You don’t need to have existing quotes, you can create a quote at any time within Codeweavers Showroom System by simply clicking on the tab ‘Quick Quote’. Before you can create a finance quote you will need to select a vehicle. Once you have selected a vehicle you can then create a finance quote.

Creating Finance Quotes In Showroom System - Step 2

You can now create a finance quote that is associated with the vehicle selected. If you would like to create multiple quotes, click ‘Save’ every time you create a quote. Initially, you will be asked to name the quote so make sure you use a reference you will remember. You can then view your ‘Quote History’ and select your quote to take through to an application. If you would like to convert the quote into a proposal click the ‘Continue’ button. You can then fill in the finance application and submit it to your chosen finance lender/lenders for approval.

Managing Your Proposal Submissions

You can manage your proposal submissions at any point to determine if a proposal has been successfully automatically submitted to your chosen finance lender/lenders or if it required further information.

To do this select a proposal you would like to look into from the ‘Proposal’ tab. Then click into the ‘Status’ area. As previously mentioned if a proposal requires any further actions you can action it here.

You can do things like upload documents, add notes and resubmit a proposal if required.

Vehicle Search In Showroom System
