For 28 years Spanos Motors, a family owned and operated dealership, has demonstrated a meticulous focus on quality paired with an uncompromising eye for value. Specializing in high-end, pre-owned luxury vehicles and supercars, Spanos Motors serves Daytona Beach, Florida and the larger national market from within their historic showroom.
Lisa Pruchniewski, Spanos Motors General Manager, brings a lifetime of automotive experience to the company. With decades of automotive retail software experience under her belt as well as a youth growing up in a dealership family, Lisa is more qualified than most to speak to the impact of Autosoft DMS on her dealership’s success.
“I was looking for something the franchise dealers would use, that wasn’t too expensive, and that met the needs of a smaller dealership like ourselves. We decided to try Autosoft Go, and we’re so glad we did.”
“Autosoft Go is simple to use, and it’s very user-friendly. You
don’t need to be savvy with technology because Go is so easy to
understand.”
Integration
Autosoft offers 200+ seamless 3rd party and OEM integrations for a connected delership. Lisa told us, “We get people knocking on our door twice a quarter asking us to try out their software. I always ask them how they integrate with other vendors. Autosoft does it really well with just about anything. It streamlines with our CRM. We don’t have to go to separate portals. It supports our digital contracting. It’s increased the net that our salespeople bring to the dealership.”
Reporting
Spanos Motors has benefited from improved workflows and custom dashboards, making tasks like closing out the month as simple as a single click. “It’s better reporting for me,” Lisa says. “I can see where those percentages are, whether they’re holding gross, whether they’re supporting selling aftermarket products. And in terms of data entry, it’s one and done. Single data entry frees everybody up.”
F&I / Front-End Functionality
With Autosoft you have access to a complete customer interaction history, offering you a 360-degree view of your customers. This comprehensive view allows you to personalize your interactions and provide a higher level of service. Lisa has been impressed with the functionality: “On the F&I side we now have the ability to streamline our menu presentation, and the offerings that we give for the finance products go quicker. They’re more professional, and printing is faster than before.”
Affordability
Autosoft DMS was built for the end-user, providing you everything you need at a price you can afford. Lisa’s perspective is one shared by many Autosoft customers: “I wanted something that gave us that franchise ability without the big Reynolds and Reynolds price tag because you don’t need that for an independent dealer. We needed a sophisticated software, but one that’s simple. We found that in Autosoft.”
