Autovance Technologies Announces MyDeal Digital Retailing System

New Technology Allows Dealers and Consumers to Interact Online for Vehicle Sales

Lethbridge, AB (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Autovance (a Quorum company TSX-V: QIS), a leading software development company specializing in sales and F&I solutions for auto dealers, announced the release of the first phase of its consumer-facing MyDeal digital retailing solution today.

Autovance Desk is currently used by hundreds of dealers across Canada to transact vehicle sales in their showrooms. The system’s customer-centric, easy to understand worksheets have become the staple upon which many dealers have built their forward thinking sales departments. Today, Autovance has made this functionality available directly to consumers online from anywhere.

MyDeal, the digital retailing extension to Autovance Desk, will allow dealers to share the worksheets they have always used in their showroom with consumers via the Internet on PCs and mobile devices at home, or wherever they may be. The result is a seamless collaborative experience for consumers from the web to the vehicle sale. The initial phase of MyDeal is available to all Autovance Desk dealership customers at no additional charge.

“We’ve always prided ourselves in delivering highly accurate, transaction-ready data to our dealers,” says Rick Johnston, Founder and Vice President of Autovance, “Now we’re giving them the ability to share this information with their customers in real-time. Dealers are forced to find alternative ways to help consumers purchase vehicles right now, and as a result we quickly developed this exciting extension of our popular desking tool to help them work with their customers remotely. And, recognizing the challenging circumstances most of our dealership customers are currently facing, we are offering them the opportunity to take advantage of this phase of MyDeal at no additional cost.”

Autovance plans to continue innovation on the MyDeal app, extending its functionality to allow consumers to get up-to-date pricing, payments and other vehicle sales-related products directly through the dealer’s website.
