Work Truck Solutions enables online users to view, filter and find commercial trucks by body style and chassis. Dealers who use the solution also have access to back-end analytics, showing them which body types and chassis are being searched the most often, which can help them reduce flooring costs and better estimate which trucks to stock.
“A frustration we often see in dealerships is difficulty deciding which truck bodies to stock due to incomplete data on what is most popular or selling most quickly in their market,” says Kathryn Schifferle, CEO and founder of Work Truck Solutions. “With Work Truck Solutions, our dealers can use their back-end reports to quickly reveal which bodies are being requested most often, helping them stock appropriately. This data represents a flooring goldmine for dealers.”
In addition to a visual library of body styles and the back-end reporting capabilities, Work Truck Solutions also offers dealers access to their Online Dealer Trade Network, a global search feature that enables dealers to track down, buy and sell commercial inventory on lots across the country.
