- Consistent transaction process on a listing site, dealer’s website or in-dealership;

“Today’s on-line customer wants simplicity, transparency and convenience in a seamless transaction. We have all experienced the frustration of being unable complete an on-line transaction after inputting much of the required data. There is nothing more annoying than having to start all over again. Our new software enhancement allows the consumer to quickly and easily progress and complete their transaction, even if they need to leave the site or continue at the dealership — they can start exactly where they left off. Our dealers are also able to access the transaction elements through our portal as well. We are pleased that our platform enhancements eliminate these friction points that frustrate most consumers with on-line transactions,” said Kelly Jennings, CEO of Powerband.
