Welcome to Carsignment! Carsignment has developed an extensive range of services exclusively for auto dealerships. These services are designed to save you time, maximize your exposure to potential buyers, enhance your professional image, and make more money!

More Than Just Window Stickers

Our Inventory Management Program goes beyond even the most rich inventory management solutions, while simplifying the entire process. Most inventory management services provide basic photography needs, window stickers, and limited online inventory advertising. This causes your web site to display inaccurate and incomplete online inventory, “missing photo” pages, poor vehicle descriptions, and an overall poor online experience for your potential buyer. Also, if your entire vehicle inventory is not being advertised on web sites such as AutoTrader or Cars.com, how are potential buyers to know of you or your current offerings? Carsignment has the solution, and we print window stickers too!

Seamless DMS Integration

The Inventory Management process begins with regular, reliable imports from your Dealership Management System (DMS). Carsignment’s Complete Inventory Management System (CIMS) seamlessly integrates with your existing DMS at least once a day. CIMS supports all popular DMS systems, such ADP and Reynolds & Reynolds. CIMS will update any piece of data such as price, colors, mileage, etc., directly out of your DMS. This ensures that any changes made over time within he DMS are reflected within your online inventory, and in turn, your online destinations, such as AutoTrader or Cars.com. And because your online inventory reflects your actual inventory, your website will always be current and reliable.

Powerful VIN Decoding

After the DMS update, each VIN is scanned and analyzed utilizing a powerful VIN Decoding Program. Unlike most mediocre VIN Decoders, CIMS is able to determine trim packages, most factory options, engine sizes, interior and exterior colors, transmission options, and even MPG! This ensures lush descriptions for your online inventory and AutoTrader listings, as well as complete and accurate window stickers…all done automatically!

Window Stickers & Buyer's Guides

Carsignment offers onsite window sticker services for your used car inventory. Our Window Stickers can be customized to suit your specific unique image. Remember, window stickers should grab the attention of potential customers. That’s why our window stickers highlight the features potential buyers are most likely to look for, such as “power glass sunroof” and “DVD navigation,” and de-emphasizes minor options such as “automatic door locks.” Plus, our powerful VIN Decoder guarantees the most accurate and feature rich window stickers available. In addition to window stickers, Carsignment can provide state required Buyer’s Guides for each vehicle. All required information is preprinted and can even be customized for specific vehicles.

Photo Management

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then you should be creating a twelve thousand word description for every vehicle you advertise online. Or you could just advertise twelve high quality photos for each vehicle in your used inventory. Potential buyers cannot get a good accurate representation of a vehicle with two or three photos. Most onsite photo companies take a mere 2-3 photos of each vehicle. Carsignment recommends 12 to 24 photos of each vehicle in order to give potential buyers the “complete picture.” Carsignment’s onsite photo management service provides professional quality photos for every vehicle in your used car inventory and uploads the pictures directly to your online used car inventory and online lead generators, such as AutoTrader and Cars.com. Regular, reliable schedules photo sessions are planned around your schedule, and “rain check” appointments are available during incremental weather.

Why not offer a state-of-art inventory system, complete with detailed search capabilities and lighting quick load times?

CIMS will automatically download multiple stock vehicle photos for each new vehicle in your inventory.

This is highly tedious process and involves repetitive work with a large margin for error. Time consuming tasks must be executed each time a vehicle enters or leaves their inventory, CIMS simplifies and increases the effectiveness of marketing your vehicles online by automatically distributes your online inventory through a daily feed to over 200 online lead generators, including AutoTraders and Cars.com.
