DEALER SERVICE PORTAL Talk to your customers through a dedicated promotion platform The Dealer Service Portal launched in 2014 and offers have been updated on regular basis over the past 1.5 years. The Portal allows your Dealership to promote exclusive Parts and Service offers to your service customers, which will be communicated in the Service CRM letters. These offers aim to increase the chance of customers servicing their vehicle which will assist in improving your Dealership s overall service retention. The Service and Parts offers can be targeted to specific customers, based on vehicle type and vehicle age, and it s up to you how long the offers run for. If your Dealership chooses to run an offer, the cost to fulfil the offer will be covered by your Dealership. Nissan Australia will cover all creative development and letter mailing costs. To access the Dealer Service Portal, login to the Dealer Intranet and click Service. The link to the portal can be found under the After Sales Portal section. AUTOGATE Sending leads to you in real time All hard leads captured via the Nissan website are sent to Dealers in real-time using the Autogate system. Leads include: Test drive requests Request a quote Contact me Autogate is the same Lead Management System (LMS) used to allocate Carsales leads and was chosen due to its flexibility to manage leads from a range of sources. (Some lead sources such as your own Dealer website require a Dealer upgrade to Autogate Pro) Over the past few years Autogate has undergone some significant upgrades in features that we hope to leverage with a pilot program that is scheduled for Qtr 3.
