Conquest Reviews

vAuto's Conquest is the new car pricing and inventory management tool that can be added to your existing vAuto integration. Its ability to handle bulk pricing strategies and provide up-to-date competitive market data makes it leaps ahead of our previous new car inventory solution. The new car pricing buckets are easy to build and can be as granular as the factory color of the paint on the vehicle; so you can be as particular or as broad as you'd like when strategizing. The description writer allows you to generate new car descriptions quickly and efficiently and the bulk photo management tool makes it easy to upload your dealer custom photos for each unit in your inventory. Conquest can syndicate with your third-party vendors to publish your entire new car inventory spread and even includes the ability to include OEM incentives - both guaranteed and conditional - in your final pricing structure. Conquest's ability to track our competitors' live pricing is also quite helpful and makes keeping up with management reporting significantly easier than our previous solution.

The biggest caveat with Conquest will apply to dealers with multiple stores that carry the same franchises. Unfortunately, you cannot set up buckets to mirror across stores. So, if you've got multiple Chevrolet dealers and you want to price them exactly the same you will have to do this manually per dealer. It's concerning to me that this still isn't a feature with Conquest considering how many dealers across the nation have multiple stores with the same OEMs.

After having used other products, I really believe that Conquest is the one to go with. That said, if you're not already using vAuto as your inventory solution then Conquest is likely not the route you'll want to go. Keep in mind that Conquest is part of the vAuto group of solutions so it's best utilized with the rest of vAuto's features and integrated across your websites as one solution as opposed to multiple vendors (speaking from experience).

Obviously, nobody wants to price hundreds of new cars manually. Conquest allows you to price all of your vehicles down to the specifications you decide upon and then export that price and applicable incentives. This alone is well worth the money for the program as it saves me time when we set up pricing strategies. Conquest also allows you to track specific competitors based on data pulled from across the internet and compare it against your pricing to ensure that you're keeping up with the market.

.Ease of Use - Familiar and detailed interface and many tools designed to save time - Very Slick

Overall there is only one gripe - appears to be difficult to switch between Conquest and Provision should I need to compare new and used values quickly

I believe that the overall package is the best in the market

Easy access to pricing and inventory analysis are the main advantages and in terms of benefits, there are numerous - offering the client the advantage of transparency and quick movement between information across all platforms, new and used

The best thing about conquest is the way that it displays your inventory. Very easy to understand.

Some statistics on conquest are easily manipulated by things you can’t change. Hard to tell what figures are real

Maintaining and categorizing new car inventory. Pricing strategy’s. Very easy to manage.

this is the quickest, simplest way to set or adjust pricing to adhere to OEM advertising rules

nothing that I have seen and I've been using it for years.

this saves mountains of time. that's worth every penny

We're looking at competitive pricing in the market daily and making sure we are aligned with our strategy.

helps with making the right decision when it comes to buying and selling cars. As a dealership, it is imperative to buy a car at the right price. To be competitive in a saturated market, offering a great deal is the starting point of the sales process. Descriptions are automatically generated which saves time. Just make sure that the description is what you want. Dashboard helps with missing categories like MSRP, Price, ETC.

Sometimes there is a delay when the system pulls info from our DMS system. Multiple refreshes seem to correct the issue. Need to have a dedicated person review and insure all data is correct. although most steps are automated, there is still a need for human input.

Great way to manage your inventory. From purchasing to pricing, no need to use multiple systems.

Using Stockwave to quickly find cars and price them correctly with Conquest helps us focus on other parts of the business.

Using vAuto to navigate through inventory, pricing, as well as locate values of vehicles based on KBB for example is extremely to do in vAuto.

I do think the UI could be improved a little more, as it is sort of "clunky" to search through your inventory, but overall a minor dislike.

If you're needing an all in one inventory management system for your dealership, this would be it!

vAuto allowed me to easily search for values on a vehicle to present immediately to customers on the lot, with accuracy based on the trim/features of this particular vehicle, and even the CarFax.

scan 200 miles of competition, rankings, price to market

The ability to change the pricing feed for different vendors, like autotrader, and cars.com without having to call and make request.

Works great!

.It was super easy to learn how to use even with no training never really had any problems with it

Nothing really I can complain about, haven’t found anything I didn’t like about it

Nothing at this point

Easy to use and works well with either mobile or desktop use.

Mobile use could be a little more user friendly.

Pricing of vehicles, so much easier than shopping for that vehicle in my area.

I like that it incorporates mobile and desktop use very seamlessly.

I dislike that the vin scanner doesn't read numbers.

This program is very easy to use. Just go out on the lot and "appraise" a bunch of random cars and you will be a master at it in no time.

I use it multiple times a day to evaluate customers vehicles and vehicles I am potentially looking to purchase.
