I run the Sales Dept. @ Tom Harris Chevrolet Cadillac and I have been using Bignition all the while. Well, two days ago a customer came in and requested a used 2008 3/4 tonne, Duramax diesel, crew cab, short box, Chevrolet Silverado - HAD TO BE WHITE... Had to have a bench seat as he has six people in his family. I immediatley went on Bignition and wouldn't you know I found the EXACT TRUCK. I spoke with the manager on messenger about the truck and within minutes we had a gentlemen's agreement... Last night by 6pm I had the truck detailed, test driven, and sold with an extended warranty. The customer's were thrilled and our salesperson was as well.
All in all it took me less than 24 hours to do this deal. At the end of the day (depending on how much I ACV the two trades for) I figure this will be a $6,750 deal for us.
Thanks Bignition,

Being in an isolated community, I found Bignition useful in increasing my access and availability to inventory across the network.

I was one of the first users of Bignition. It is something I use every day and it has been of tremendous value to me. It has been a very lucrative tool for me that I am more than pleased with.

Bignition has put us in touch with a huge dealer network we never had before. It has allowed greater insight into used vehicle values, we are even buying and selling into other provinces which we rarely did before. It has also helped keep our aging down, we just sold our oldest piece because of the Bignition network.

I have been waiting for a product like Bignition for years and finally it's here! The Bignition team has helped me considerably, moving aged pieces and picking up some fresh inventory for my lot. As well, the training that their Member Services team has given me has been extremely valuable. They are informative, punctual and most of all good guys to chat with. Broadcast is probably my favourite feature, and the ability to connect real time with my fellow Dealers and communicate via Instant Message is amazing.
GO BIGNITION!

8 times out of 10 we have been able to get better numbers on potential trades then we did from the brokers. This tool makes us more money.

I have used Bignition for 5-6 months, have had good luck not only locating vehicles, but also to fill other Dealers Vehicle needs.

Bignition is a great source for those hard to find vehicles that you need to fill the holes in your inventory. The ability to search for vehicles in real time and receive feedback in real time is a huge bonus!

Bignition is a great way to connect dealers through the provinces immediately and in real time. I get to see what everyone is selling, trading and buying. The broadcast feature is also very useful in getting a quick vehicle appraisal!

I managed to complete a trade in my first month on Bignition. The vehicle we traded for came in clean, and called correctly. Every Alberta dealer needs to be on board with this network!

Bignition has helped us move aged inventory as well as pick up some sought after inventory which has turned quickly. To be able to do this from my office rather then travel all over the province has proven quite valuable

Bignition is a great program and the communication it enables is unbelievable. I was able to complete a deal in under an hour! All I need to do is put a request on the system and people are contacting me almost right away. It is a great resource for buying and selling vehicles and every dealer needs to be on this!

I find the search function and the ability to check other dealers’ inventory very useful. I haven’t been on Bignition very long but it helped me sell a vehicle already!

This is the best tool for my used car department ever!
I can’t believe that finally all the dealer inventory is now available at the push of a button, I now can buy, sell and trade direct with other franchied dealers without a bunch of middlemen, and I don’t have to bother with the auction as much.
Besides, Bignition has over 20,000 pieces of inventory to work with, dealer direct! The best system period, I think I will save at least 200k a year in fees.

For a dealership that's a bit isolated in the NW Territories, it's a big help on off brand trades. Found a
home for a 2008 Grand Caravan the first few days. Great info from other dealers.
