MOTORS.CO.UK has launched a mobile-first version of its AutoEdit platform called ‘AutoEdit GO’ in the Apple App Store after it saw a high uptake from iOS users.
The app has been built to enable dealers to manage stock seamlessly from their iOS devices following a strong initial uptake of AutoEdit GO from car dealers who use iPhones and iPads. An Android version will be available from the Google Play Store too in the coming weeks.
As part of the AutoEdit GO update to mobile devices, functionality has been added to recognise a car licence plate from a photograph and automatically checks the vehicle’s history when it is added to a dealer’s listings.
This free upgrade for current Motors.co.uk AutoEdit customers has been designed to save dealers time so they can quickly upload both photographs and key vehicle information either on their forecourt or in the office. The latest technology is applied to the photo editing tool within AutoEdit GO, which allows users to quickly crop and rotate images they have uploaded.
Phill Jones, managing director of Motors.co.uk, said: ‘Our day-to-day conversations with dealers reveals how important the smartphone has becoming to running their business. While we have had a brilliant response from dealers who use AutoEdit GO via a mobile browser, we felt the next natural step was to build its own app.
‘This new platform allows dealers to easily manage their stock from any location and any device. This investment is a further sign of our passion to deliver smart tools that will help dealers.
‘Now dealers can take photographs of their latest vehicles and register them to their listings faster than ever before, saving them time and money. We will continue to collaborate with and we will continue to collaborate with them to make sure we develop solutions that help improve their efficiency.’
