MONZA EDITION

Kimoby's DES-Dealership Engagement System proudly introduces the product release "Monza Edition", addressing a pressing concern: 63% of Americans are unable to cover an unexpected $500 expense. This edition offers a one-click financing solution powered by Affirm.

With car prices on the rise, repair costs follow suit, now 20% higher.
Customers are faced with the dilemma of choosing between immediate costly fixes or delaying repairs, a decision that directly impacts dealership revenues.

Inspired by the high-speed precision of cities like Monza, known for their F1 circuits, the "Monza Edition" new feature launches reflect our dedication to confronting challenges with resilience and innovation, much like dealerships do every day.

One-click financing solution with Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) powered by Affirm

Each time you send an estimate to a customer or a mobile payment request, they will have the option to view and apply to pay over time with Affirm.
BNPL empowers you to secure approvals for expensive additional work by providing a seamless one-click financing solution to your customers directly integrated into Kimoby Pay - eliminating the need for another provider. Dealerships get paid right away and Affirm takes care of managing the rest.
As 67% of American dealerships express concern about a potential 2024 recession impacting their business, BNPL offers you a proactive strategy to encourage customers who usually declined because of timing or budget constraints, to proceed with suggested repairs, ultimately boosting your average Repair Order (RO) and bottom line.

Automatically answer and reroute customer messages with Automated Replies

In your automation, such as the CSI one, you can now create automatic replies that fit each customer's response and redirect the conversation to the appropriate person if need be.
Just picture it: only customers who've already shown positive sentiments receive reminders to look out for the manufacturer email survey. With the understanding that one negative survey won't outweigh five positive ones, this new feature guarantees the best possible results and a clear advantage for dealerships, all without lifting a finger.
Appointment and maintenance reminder automation also benefit from the Automated Replies feature. With Automated Replies, your BDC team can devote their time to what truly matters – nurturing relationships and driving business growth.

But that's not all - Managers now have complete visibility over estimate status, from creation to acceptance or decline. Plus, you can follow up on which employee is upselling efficiently your customers. Less time spent searching and typing means more time dedicated to delivering exceptional service to your valued customers.
