15 Scan the VIN... The app harnesses mobile device technology including voice-to-text capability to allow users to search for products simply by saying a category or brand, and utilizes the camera to scan QR, UPC and vehicle VIN numbers and VIN barcodes. This scanning capability takes the mobile app from a retail sales driver to a store management tool for inventory control and other store functions like pricing, labels and ordering.

Shop owners are often in front of the counter, out in the parking lot looking at a customer’s vehicle, making a dealer sales call, or in the shop working on a vehicle build. This app gives them the flexibility to access eKeystone tools anywhere they work. Megan Moraski, a Keystone sales associate based out of Exeter, PA and a beta tester on the project, added that she believes the app will be an incredibly powerful tool for dealerships since they are on the car lots with customers all day long. Want to upsell thoseWeather Tech mats, remote starters, or bug shields right at the point of purchase? The Keystone mobile app just simplified the process. The second level of productivity is the ability to easily and accurately manage one’s inventory. “Just preprint labels for the shelves and anyone in the store can walk over and scan the barcode to place another one in the e-Keystone order basket. They could even reorder as the items are sold at the POS!” said McDonald. Yet another feature is the ability to grow your business from anywhere. “If a customer is running a Jeep ® event, truck show, or even attending a car show where they have the ability to show off their product selection, they can scan the VIN on site and order on the spot. Depending on the time of day, they could receive delivery as early as the following day,” said McDonald. Better yet, “Being able to track orders is a great asset on e-Keystone. Now even if you are out picking up a customer’s vehicle, you can see how close the Keystone truck is to delivering product at your place of business,” he continued. How’s that for excellence in customer service, from your valued distribution partner straight through to the end consumer? A shop’s time is valuable and with the Keystone mobile app, staff can spend more time focused on customer education and service. As a sales professional, McDonald believes this is exactly the kind of comprehensive but easy-to-use mobile tech customers need to grow and better manage their shops.
