VinSolutions Desking: Desking

Current manufacturer incentives and bank rates appear in the desking interface. An optional Rates and Residuals add-on brings in rebates, incentives and alternative structures.

Desking and the CRM work together, so customer information, communication history and deal terms stay aligned.

Real-time integrations push deal information into the DMS. A user can pull credit reports and complete OFAC checks without leaving the customer record.

Proposals can be delivered by text or email with tracking. The tool includes a manufacturer program payment calculation and trade-in payoff adjustments.

The Cox Automotive Dealertrack desking entry describes how VinSolutions integrates Dealertrack data. Reynolds desking, ProMax and Tekion describe comparable tools.

A sales manager would ask how rates and incentives are updated and how payments are verified against the final contract. It would ask how desking pushes to the DMS.

The category guide for desking lists a neutral checklist. Ask who supports it.

Desking is part of VinSolutions' Connect suite alongside Connect CRM and Connect Automotive Intelligence. VinSolutions says its desking view can show inventory information from vAuto, so a deal is built against the store's own inventory strategy.

Both products belong to Cox Automotive. A dealer would ask whether desking works without the CRM and how a deal moves to the DMS.

VinSolutions Connect Desking is the deal-structuring tool that sits inside the CRM. It lets a team build up to 18 deal scenarios, compare payments side by side and push the chosen deal into the DMS without re-keying.

A Rates and Residuals feature uses Dealertrack data to show incentives, captive and noncaptive programs and lender rates for new and pre-owned vehicles. VinSolutions says it reduces desking errors and follows lender guidelines.

Stores should ask which DMS connections are certified, how often rates refresh and what a manager can override on a quote.
