WebManager is an Online Vehicle Marketing System.

WebManager is a sophisticated marketing tool for automobile dealers incorporating Inventory Management, Auction Management, Classifieds Management, Lead Management, Reporting and a personalized Automotive Dealer Website to provide a complete and easy-to-use marketing solution. And because WebManager is an online application, you can manage your inventory and auctions from anywhere.



It Starts with the Cars...

To begin working with WebManager, you first need to get some vehicles into your inventory. This process has been made as simple as possible, and, with vehicle uploads from DeskManager, this process can even be automatic.

To add a new vehicle to your WebManager inventory manually, you would simply enter the vehicle’s VIN number. WebManager will decode the VIN and explode the vehicle’s details for you. If you are uploading vehicles from DeskManager, you can opt to send your vehicle details as-is, or use WebManager’s VIN decoder. Once the vehicle is in the system, you can finalize certain details such as the mileage, color, and service history.

Photo management is simple as well. You can select and upload up to 60 photos per vehicle all at once, and add, remove, and rearrange photos at any time. more »

If you do not have a desktop dealer management package, WebManager can also print Window Stickers and Buyer’s Guides. more »

Awesome eBay Auction Listings

Is it really possible for someone who isn't computer-savvy to create a good looking eBay listing? Well, with WebManager you can. You can even do a better job than your competition, without having to pay a professional to do it for you. Remember, without the right tool like WebManager, listing creation on eBay is a tedious and time consuming process. With WebManager it only takes minutes, if not seconds, to do just that.

Select from a variety of listing templates and color schemes to showcase your vehicles effectively, and WebManager will create the listing code for you. Your listings can contain up to 60 photos, with your choice of several different photo layouts. Once your eBay preferences have been set, auctions can be launched in as little as 2 clicks.

WebManager will monitor all eBay auctions you have launched through the system, and you can view the status of each and every eBay auction from the WebManager Control Panel without having to log in to eBay. Listings can be revised easily to adjust pricing or add to the description, or ended early if need be. Auctions that complete without a winning bidder can be easily re-listed. If there is a payment dispute, you can file an Unpaid Item dispute and monitor any responses, again without having to log in to eBay.

If you have a winning bidder, the vehicle is automatically marked sold, and the winning bidder is added as a contact in your WebManager Control Panel so you can easily communicate with them to complete the transaction. more »

Increase Your Exposure with Online Classified Listings

Automatic nightly exports to popular sites like AutoTrader.com (includes MSN Autos, Edmunds.com, KelleyBlueBook.com, and more), Cars.com (includes Yahoo Autos, USAToday.com, About.com and more than 175 national and local websites), Vehix.com, CarsDirect.com, and free sites like Oodle, Vast.com, EasyAutoSales.com, LemonFree.com; and Batch Listings to sites like Craigslist.org and Backpage.com allow you to reach millions of internet users each month. These sites are a great way to promote your inventory to a wide audience of potential buyers who are searching for your cars.

Sending your listings to these sites is a snap with WebManager. Very little setup is required, and once you have selected which sites you want to export to, WebManager will automatically export your vehicles nightly.* Setting up exports to these sites is a simple set-and-forget process, which can save you dozens of hours each month.

WebManager will send the maximum number of photos allowed by each site (27 photos to AutoTrader.com, 32 photos to Cars.com, etc.). Detailed text descriptions will be created for each vehicle based on your preferences and the vehicle details you have entered. more »

Promote your Dealership with Powerful and Flexible Website Solutions

Every WebManager account automatically includes a personalized Dealership Website. You can select from several professionally designed themes with a variety of color schemes to build your website. You can upload a banner image of your own, or enlist one our graphic designers to develop one for you for a small additional fee (custom banner image design is included with Web+ setup).

With WebManager’s advanced content management system, you can easily create sophisticated web page designs without requiring any knowledge of HTML. Drag and drop elements to add new features to your web page and move them around. Add anything you want — an animated slide show, a loan calculator, another inventory list, a contact form, etc. — to any page you want. You can enable and disable any page, alter the page titles and menu button labels, change the page order and menu order, and add custom pages and menu headings at will.

Vehicles added to your WebManager live inventory are automatically added to your website, and displayed using your selected listing template and options. Sold vehicles will continue to be displayed until they are archived, and are clearly marked as sold. Vehicle specials are highlighted and displayed prominently.

Detailed traffic reports are available with built-in website analytics reporting.

Your website will be a place where you can be proud to showcase your inventory and build trust and credibility in your dealership. more »

Keep in Touch with Lead and Contact Management

Using WebManager, leads can be generated by a few different sources. eBay listings and several pages on your website contain links to forms for users to make various inquiries. These forms are captured by WebManager’s Lead Management system and your incoming leads can be accessed through the Control Panel.

WebManager will automatically create contact records for new leads, and will keep track of incoming leads by contact. Leads are automatically linked to the vehicle they are associated with when applicable, so you can see which vehicles generate the most interest.

You can reply to leads using WebManager’s powerful text editor to easily create professionally formatted messages and include images from your image library without any knowledge of HTML. Replies are recorded and sorted by lead and by contact so you can view a history of your communications.

You can record additional information for contacts such as alternate phone numbers and conversation notes. When you complete a sale, you can select a contact on the Sale Detail screen so you don’t have to re-enter the buyer’s details. more »

Know the Score with Powerful Reporting

Various reports will allow you to track which of your marketing efforts are really working, and which ones aren’t.

For eBay, you will be able to compare how many auctions you are creating per month vs. how many of them result in a sale. Because eBay is a global marketplace, you may need to adjust your auction prices to be more competitive.

You can see how many page views you are getting overall and how many views you are getting on your eBay auctions, and find out which visitors are actually generating leads and sales. Compare the number of sales and amount of profit generated through eBay auctions vs. other channels.

This valuable information will help you to refine and focus your efforts on those areas which will generate the most sales and profits for your business. more »
