CDI module

Marketing. Turn the data you already have into more opportunities.

CARF connects your inventory, customers, leads, website activity, and sales records to the marketing tools your dealership uses.

Build audiences, send campaigns, measure advertising results, and prepare social content without constantly exporting spreadsheets or rebuilding the same customer and vehicle information in separate systems.

Why it matters

Use the data you already have

Build marketing activity from the customers, leads, vehicles, and dealership records already inside CARF instead of constantly exporting and rebuilding lists.

Know what your advertising produces

Connect marketing activity back to real customer actions so your dealership can better understand which campaigns are generating leads and sales activity.

Market inventory faster

Use the same vehicle information, photos, descriptions, pricing, and promotions already managed in Inventory when preparing marketing and social content.

Connections

Marketing connections
