“ActivEngage is a unique communications platform that helps support Cox Automotive’s mission to transform the way the world buys, sells, owns, and maintains vehicles,” said James Maynard, SVP of Product for Dealer Software Solutions at Cox Automotive. “Based on ActivEngage’s data, 80% of their conversations produce actionable leads for dealers. So, now that our clients can enable consumers to have access to live professionals who truly understand dealer processes—everything from getting assistance completing a deal or verifying vehicle availability, to assisting with service appointments and trade-in valuations — dealerships will immediately see the value.”
Cox Automotive and ActivEngage are set to showcase their new partnership at NADA and will treat the event as a launch pad for their exclusive relationship. Dealers can communicate with both parties about the exclusive partnership during the upcoming conference in Las Vegas at booth 2328W.
