For Dealers & Operators
Dealer technology built by Eagle Eye, running at 10 dealerships
DriveLocal is a consumer site. This section is for the people who run stores. Every tool below was built by Eagle Eye and proven inside VIP Automotive Group's rooftops before it was offered to any other dealer.
Why a car-buying site profiles dealer software
VIP Automotive Group has sold cars on Long Island since 1957. Somewhere around its tenth rooftop the group stopped buying off-the-shelf dealer software that nobody used and started running software built for it by Eagle Eye, an automation and software firm that builds on a dealer group's rooftops first, then installs the same systems one function at a time for other groups.
The pages below profile each tool: what it does, what problem it replaced, what changed in the numbers at VIP Automotive Group, and where it fits in a dealership group's stack, with a link to each product's site. Even this site is one of those systems; see how DriveLocal is built.
