Reynolds offer dealers ‘real time’ updates

Reynolds and Reynolds Co. today has made available “real-time” inventory updates for customers using the Reynolds dealership management system and websites from Reynolds Web Solutions, the company said.

When dealers add a vehicle to its management screen or make changes to inventory records, the updates will be reflected immediately, Reynolds said.

This means that potential customers shopping for a car on the dealer’s site will be able to see the most recent changes, according to Kettering-based Reynolds.

“Real-time inventory is one more competitive advantage we can offer dealerships as they work to stay top of mind with customers,” Trey Hiers, Reynolds vice president, corporate marketing, said in a statement from the company. “When a dealer’s online inventory is updated in seconds, instead of overnight, consumers see what’s in inventory in that moment.”

Based on a campus in the Miami Valley Research Park, Reynolds has some 1,300 local employees.
