Henley Honda was conscious that business texting is way more than a trend in the automotive industry. Business texting is a powerful tool for dealerships in their aftersales operations. Shamil Becharbhai, Service Operations Manager at Henley Honda, explained: “Everyone uses text messages. It is the way to do it and it is weird not to do it.” Furthermore, Henley Honda was looking for a software solution integrated with CDK.
Henley Honda had been using Kimoby’s texting solution. However, in the highly competitive texting market, they had moved to a competitor’s texting solution in early 2019. The competitor had promised an effective and high-performance texting solution and offered an attractive package.
Nonetheless, only one month later, Henley Honda came back to Kimoby. They were very disappointed with what they were sold and quickly found out that the competitor’s solution had been oversold and did not meet their needs and expectations. For example, their tablet app did not work properly and there were integration issues with CDK.
"The team loves Kimoby. It is very easy to use the app. This is no problem even with the older generation of employees—it was seamless. Kimoby is easy and it is a huge benefit to our team."
