The iConnect portal, delivered by automotive software solutions company Mad Devs, helps connect dealers with their customers post-sale and maintains a connection over the ownership of the vehicle by creating a digital garage for customers with storage for all their documentation.
It will also provide updates on service schedules and allow for offers to be pushed to customers.
David Boyce, CEO at Mad Devs, said: "Dealers are facing an unprecedented period of change that will require a deeper and longer relationship with the customer. The shift to electric vehicles will impact aftersales revenues and changing retail models will create a more competitive marketplace.
"We believe the answer for dealers is to move rapidly to build longer-term relationships that add value to the customer experience over the ownership of the vehicle and beyond. Becoming a customer's mobility partner will create new revenue opportunities for the coming decade."
The iConnect platform builds customer journeys around document storage and is available to dealers and OEMs. It can be branded or operate independently and integrates with aftersales software and data providers. Customers benefit from a central point to manage their service schedules, invoicing, insurance, and any relevant video content. Users will also be able to value their vehicles at any point in time.
David concluded: "The data held in the app will provide useful triggers to provide offers to customers and incentives to swap vehicles early or buy additional financial products. It creates a closer link between customer and dealer through better management of data."
