New Features Pushed this Week

Many of you know that we are in the midst of a major rewrite of the AutoPencil tools and although my mind is focused there, there are a lot of other things we've done:

  • We've added a new picture upload option along with a matching merge code and new button in the image gallery (to insert the picture into an email). How about uploading a happy shot of your customer with his or her new car? Can you think of how you might use this new feature? Don't worry if the image is big, we'll resize it automatically for you.
  • The comments field on the Customer Detail page has always annoyed me. You had to hit that little scroll button over and over to see any details that might be in there. No more, hit the expand button and it will be like it should have been since the beginning.
  • We've added to the lead assignment schedule a new way to forward leads to other systems, or to our own system if you want. Imagine if you are a dealer group and you route all leads into a ILM account to sort and remove duplicates... call Support before you do it the first time and groups will need to buy an additional ILM license to do it. But finally this means broadcast emails across the group and real accountability and savings from the lead vendors.

More coming soon and the release of the new AutoPencil tool is any day.
