functions as a Lead Manager and Daily Work Plan for salespeople that organizes their day so management doesn't have to:
Here's a small sampling of what Save-a-Deal's Virtual Sales Manager can do:
- Enter and edit new leads and view notes from sales managers, office managers, and F&I.
- View drivers license photos while reviewing a lead.
- Set appointments and follow up dates.
- Select vehicles from inventory and view MSRP and list prices only.
- View lists of hot leads, birthdays, guests, telephone calls, and appointments.
- Automatically update lists as leads and deals are being worked.
Inventory Management
Finding Inventory in a DMS system can take as many as 20 clicks to specify all criteria and several screens and reports may have to be pulled. Some dealers print out a new list every day and leave it at the Sales Desk. Why go through 20 clicks to find a specific vehicle when our inventory management solution lets you do it in 4?
Inventory view and search features include:
- Quickly locate vehicles by make and model.
- Synchronized automatically every 30 minutes with R&R, ADP, and EDS.
- Security options for access to accounting and other costs sensitive features.
- Display older available vehicles at the best times.
- Create deals and leads direct from inventory.
- Sort and exclude any row in inventory on any of the 30+ fields.
Reporting
A system is only as good as its reporting capabilities. Each of our reports gives insight into the inner workings of dealerships. In addition we make sure that the reports display statistically meaningful information so better decisions are made.
Our reports are organized into the following categories:
- Inventory reports by age, make, model, and new/used.
- Production reports for sales managers, finance manager, and sales people.
- Weekly dealership status.
- Advertising costs per deal and profitability by source.
- Appointment and follow-up by salesperson.
- More than 16 types of booked deal.
- Dead, future, and bought elsewhere.
- Wholesale and dealer trade.

As much as 40 percent of leads can originate from the Internet. Save-a-Deal
has a Mail-Station that distributes emails based on a variety of rules including round-robin, salesperson characteristics such as new/used, and by lead provider.
Our solution is the ONLY fully-integrated Internet, desking, and F&I Menu solution in the market place.
The Mail Station supports the following:
- Lead Distribution by Round Robin, new/used, and lead provider.

Driver's License Scanner
Driver's license scanning is an important part of a front-end DMS system. It provides an easy way to get every customer into the system along with correct address and personal information. This information is stored and available for retrieval whenever a deal is displayed.
ADSI's driver's license scanner supports the following:
- OCR processing of a lead's address and birth date.
- Searching by any address, name, birth date, salesperson, or vehicle information.
- Guest sheet and the Drivers License image printing.

DMS Integration
Integration with inventory and booked/finalized deals is a critical component of Save-A-Deal. We offer two-way integration minimizing retyping of deal information with ADP, Reynolds, and EDS. One-way integration with UCS is supported on a limited basis through a daily administrative process.
Business Development Center
They visited your lot for a reason. They also walked off for a reason.
Do you know why, or are you depending on your sales people to tell you?
The national average closing rate is between 18 and 22 and it has been for the past 30 years, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA). If a dealership sells 100 cars per- month, 400 customers walk off every month without buying. If the follow-up is left up to the sales person, 90 percent of the customers will never hear back from the dealership again.
ASDI's business development center (BDC) can handle incoming sales inquiries, make outbound follow up sales calls to customers and qualified prospects, call/e-mail prospective Internet leads, and drive traffic to a dealership.
Our job is to get you more business, we deliver this not from only a position of sheer quantity of calls but rather on a quality presentation for every call we make on our customers' behalf.
