Dealerflow - Car Dealers First Ever ERM (Employee Relations Management) Software

Llama and Roland, we felt a literal business implementation of Twitter (Yammer) would be too disruptive for dealerships. We don’t have a “following” aspect. Dealerflow asks, “where are you?” You set yourself to IN, AWAY, or OUT, and optionally enter details on your whereabouts or what you’re working on. Then anyone in the company can check your status from a computer or cell phone when they need to find you. Every day at midnight all statuses are reset.

We integrated statuses tightly with lots of other features in Dealerflow to give you tons of functionality in one system. If you use something like Twitter or Yammer, that’s one more app that just does one thing and that’s how dealers end up with lots of systems.
 

✨ AI Highlights

The thread introduces Dealerflow, a new Employee Relations Management (ERM) software unveiled at NADA 2009 aimed at helping car dealerships manage internal staff communication, availability statuses, and employee profile pages. Discussion explores how the tool differs from Twitter or Yammer by integrating multiple dealer-specific functions into one system rather than adding another single-purpose app. Commenters showed genuine interest in its potential, particularly for multi-store operations, and one reply flagged plans for a website API to sync employee data directly to dealer websites.
