Overview
Leveraging AutoPlay’s capabilities to enhance car sales for dealerships, having easy access to your customers' previous purchase history provides a wealth of data and opportunities. AutoPlay can work with a dealership to ingest historical data from the DMS or can apply this setting to apply to the user data input going forward.
Provisioning
Add role: Customer Vehicle History
This is a dealer level role and enables the Customer Vehicle Functionality which will then display a history of vehicles owned by the customer on the customer record. Closed Won leads will automatically be added to this history.
The role has several attributes that can be set:
Price Displayed On Sold Listings: Select from Listing or Write Up price to display on the Previous Vehicle section
No pre-AutoPlay data Available: Check box to determine if there was data ingested to AutoPlay or not
Service Plan Expiry: Select between None, User defined and X Years from sold
Must Have Signed Write Up: Check box to mark if the write up must be signed
Warranty Expiry: Select between None, User defined and X Years from sold
** If your dealership has historical Customer Purchase History data within a DMS or VMS we can work with you to ingest this against your customer address book
Dealership Functionality
With the Contact Detail screen, there will now be a new accordion section "Vehicle Ownership"
This will display any ingested data records and any leads that they have had within AutoPlay since the role was enabled that have been Closed as Won. It will be sorted so that the most recent vehicle is at the top.
A user is able to click on the vehicle card to show more information on the vehicle

A new filter option is now added to the Contact Dashboard as highlighted below
This will open up to allow a user to search the contact database using their vehicle purchasing history as filters. Upon opening this menu you will need to choose between
- Lead
- Test Drive
- Appraisal
- Vehicle Owned
Each of these options will then return different variables to search with
AutoPlay has future updates in the roadmap that will allow direct communications or campaigns to the filtered contacts remaining on the dashboard
Building Campaigns/eDM's and Live Leads
Some updates have also been made to the campaign builder options to include the customer Vehicle History, building out the vehicle specific features that a database can be built from
the new search criteria that have been added for this are
- Vehicle Year Range
- Body Type
- Fuel Type
- Drive
- Transmission
- New/Demo/Used
- Purchase Date Range
- Delivery Date Range
- Service Plan Range
- Warranty Expiry Range
- Current Vehicle
- Next Service Due Range
Lead Dashboard
Similar to the enhancement to the Contact Dashboard, the lead dashboard also gets enhanced vehicle filtering options
It has been identified that it is not always easy to search for specific vehicles on the lead dashboard, so this has also had vehicle specific filter options added
After filtering, if you have access to the bulk update features in AutoPlay, you will then be able to communicate directly to your returned search results
