CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – April 27, 2015) – Quorum Information Technologies (Quorum) (TSX VENTURE:QIS) released Q1 2015 composite results today for its dealership customers that are using the ground-breaking Communicator integrated text and email tool, and Make More Money (M3) toolkits available within Quorum's dealership and customer management system, XSellerator™. The ten (10) M3 toolkits are specific sets of process, software functionality and training that are designed to maximize dealership revenue streams, particularly in parts and service. Chief among them are the fully-integrated and inclusive Vehicle Inspection Process (VIP), which encompasses the entire service flow starting with the customer appointment, through advisor and technician inspections and quoting additional work required.
Communicator has continued to gain widespread adoption and high use among dealerships using Quorum's modern DMS. In March, 2015, messages sent through Communicator surpassed 250,000. This figure has significantly increased month-over-month since Quorum's last announcement of exceeding 100,000 messages in July of 2014 – a 150% increase in 8 months!
“Dealerships have really latched onto the value that Communicator brings to their business and the positive reaction to the tool from their customers. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Over one-half of our dealerships are actively using Communicator today, with more starting every week. I wouldn't be surprised if we are announcing double that number before the end of 2015,” commented Maury Marks, Quorum's President and CEO.
Quorum second announcement was the remarkable amount of quoting and sold quotes that its dealership customers have achieved using the VIP tools within XSellerator. In the first quarter of 2015, dealerships taking advantage of the embedded features closed close to $10 Million in business.
Marks said, “We are proud of our dealership customers that have made the most of their DMS investment to generate returns for themselves. That is what Quorum is all about, and we are honored to have provided them tools to achieve these results. The really neat thing is that we are only just beginning, really! Less than 20% of our customers have been formally trained to take full advantage of the VIP features delivered through XSellerator. We are training more dealerships every month and expect these results to increase significantly each quarter.”
