Internet
Dealer management systems and manufacturer links require high-capacity, reliable internet.
Sales, service and finance on one fragile line
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
A dealership cannot sell, service or finance a vehicle without its systems. One morning the connection failed and the whole building stopped, with customers standing in the showroom.
What a consultant changes
For a business of that size an advisor designs two diverse connections, proper Wi-Fi across the showroom and lot, and protection for the financial data the dealership is obliged to guard. Telecom Agency brings quotes from several carriers and negotiates them against each other, which a single dealership rarely has the leverage to do alone.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for car dealerships
- The advice
- A dealership needs diverse connections, Wi-Fi across the showroom and lot, and protection for finance data. An advisor compares carriers and security providers on each.
- The price
- At this scale, quotes from several carriers are played against each other. Service agreements, installation costs and term length are all negotiated.
- The service
- The advisor stays through installation, tests failover and is the escalation point for outages. Manufacturer network requirements are reviewed when they change.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
