FRANKLIN, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CarSaver, the leading provider of automotive e-commerce solutions, has been selected by Nissan to power Nissan@Home, a new online shopping platform. After a successful pilot program with seven dealers, Nissan selected CarSaver’s industry-leading e-commerce platform to support components of a new end-to-end online buying experience for customers, from first click to home delivery.

While e-commerce has become the norm for all manner of goods—books, travel, groceries, electronics—auto sales often still require a visit to the dealership to complete the transaction. Nine out of 10 customers already shop for cars online, but despite weeks of research, the average buyer spends 5+ hours in the showroom.

To provide customers with a seamless online experience, the Nissan@Home purchasing experience integrates CarSaver’s industry leading features like:

  • End-to-end online purchase of new, certified pre-owned and used vehicle inventory
  • VIN specific pricing and payments 
  • Real-time, OEM direct rebates and incentives
  • AI enabled deal structuring
  • Captive and retail lender loan and lease integration
  • eF&I
  • eContracting 
  • Guaranteed online trade-ins
  • Vehicle delivery management software

«We’re a progressive dealer, so we’ve demoed every digital retailing tool that’s out there and ultimately, when I participated in the Nissan@Home pilot, I knew that this e-commerce platform was going to be the leader in the industry,» said Eric Frehsee, President, Tamaroff Nissan and Jeffrey Nissan. «The ease of using Nissan@Home, and the customization of being able to sign in to your own portal and choose your own payments, run your own credit score, appraise your own trade-in, all in real-time and all with live transactional data is what sets the platform apart. The real benefit of the tool is to the consumer.»

«Nissan@Home changes the customer buying and ownership experience and helps to deliver contactless commerce,» said Jack Jackintelle, Chief Operating Officer, Coral Springs Nissan. «I can see why JD Power ranked this ecommerce platform the best for OEMs, because it has everything we need and it’s really easy to use.»

«Shopping for a vehicle with CarSaver’s tools is like ordering a pizza, but more fun. It’s easier for both the customer and the dealers, and it saves everyone a lot of time and money,» said Chad Collier, CEO of CarSaver. «We’re thrilled to work with Nissan to lead the way into the future of automotive ecommerce.»

Enhanced Dealertrack Registration and Titling Solutions Help Drive Dealership Efficiencies and Success at Every Step

GROTON, Conn., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dealertrack Registration and Title Solutions announces new enhancements to help increase dealership time savings, simplify complex transactions with an intuitive interface, enable real-time electronic registration and title processing, and improve customer satisfaction at the Cox Automotive Experience and NADA 2021. With 84% of franchised dealerships expecting customers to complete more of the purchase process online than ever before, according to <a…

GROTON, Conn., Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Dealertrack Registration and Title Solutions announces new enhancements to help increase dealership time savings, simplify complex transactions with an intuitive interface, enable real-time electronic registration and title processing, and improve customer satisfaction at the Cox Automotive Experience and NADA 2021. With 84% of franchised dealerships expecting customers to complete more of the purchase process online than ever before, according to Cox Automotive 2021 Industry Predictions study, meeting consumers where they are and how they want to shop will be imperative for dealerships’ success in today’s digital-first environment.

«The COVID-19 pandemic drove many workforces to shift to electronic solutions, unlocking new market opportunities as dealers sought to improve the customer experience and streamline the back office processes for each deal,» said Kaitlin Gavin, vice president of Dealertrack Registration and Title Solutions. «State legislators and dealerships alike recognized over the past year that both technology and process support for registration and title functions are essential to keeping the auto industry moving forward. Dealertrack is continuously implementing innovation that eases the registration and titling process with greater efficiency, expediency, and accuracy for all parties.» 

The year ahead will bring an even more permanent shift to digital. According to the Cox Automotive 2021 Industry Predictions, 9 out of 10 dealership staff and consumers believe car purchasers will do more of their shopping online in 2021 compared to in-person shopping. Currently, 35 or two-thirds of the states are either legally enabled to accept or are actively accepting documents with electronic signatures. Considering this ongoing trend, Dealertrack Registration and Title Solutions’ new products and enhancements demonstrate its continued commitment to bringing next-level simplicity, reliability, customization and automation to the registration and title environment.

  • Dealertrack Trade-In Titling (Accelerated Title): There are now more than 70 lenders using Dealertrack’s Accelerated Title solution, providing dealers with even more opportunity to streamline their entire payoff and title release workflow. For a more accurate payoff and title release process, it is crucial to streamline the entire workflow. Dealertrack Accelerated Title speeds the process from weeks to days—up to 70% faster1—improving a dealership’s profitability by accelerating the ability to turn inventory faster for vehicles taken on trade. Overall, a faster title release helps dealerships improve efficiencies, promote profitability, and ensure cash flow on trade-in vehicles via retail or wholesale.
  • In-State Reg & Title: Previously, titling services were mostly manual and paper-driven. Now that all components of buying a car are becoming digitized, DMVs are working to adapt to this new normal. Helping maximize profit opportunity with a user-inspired digital interface, this innovative solution adapts itself based on the customer, vehicle and transaction information entered. Once collected, this information is automatically repopulated throughout the registration and title process, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry, driving accuracy and efficiencies. By reducing both paperwork and processing time, dealerships can more productively and profitably manage transactions.
  • Out-Of-State Reg & Title (RegUSA®): This service provides an efficient, satisfying car-buying experience to every customer in every state. Dealertrack’s enhanced RegUSA solution now has five new and unique functionality enhancements that reimagine the user interface of the system, offer built-in safeguards to help ensure accuracy and efficiency, and replace much of the manual process that can slow down the out-of-state registration and title workflow.

Dealertrack will be highlighting new product enhancements as well as registration and title solutions at the upcoming virtual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) 2021 show. For information on all Cox Automotive’s 2021 new offerings, visit www.coxautoinc.com/experience.

1 Based on average industry timeframe for vehicle title release and vehicle payoff process of 18+ days, as determined by 2020 Dealertrack data.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — It’s time to press play. W Hotels Worldwide, part of Marriott International, today opened the doors to Melbourne’s first luxury lifestyle hotel – W Melbourne – at 408 Flinders Lane. In the heart of an eclectic dining and edgy fashion district, W Melbourne brings the community’s iconic laneway culture and emerging music scene to life. Inspired by the contrasts of the city, the hotel slowly reveals itself to visitors as guests peel back layers to unearth the unique personality of each space.

«Melbourne is the perfect locale for the playfully luxe spirit of the W brand and we could not be more excited to unveil this highly anticipated hotel to the world,» said Jennie Toh, Vice President of Brand Marketing and Brand Management, Asia Pacific, Marriott International. «From its unique, locally inspired design to its eclectic lineup of restaurants and bars, W Melbourne is destined to redefine the luxury hotel scene here and become a must-go destination for travelers and local scene-stealers alike.»

Igniting Endless Possibilities
Australian architecture and interior design firm Hachem brings innovation and brand storytelling to life through their evocative approach to W Melbourne. Drawing on the city’s diverse and contrasting character, W Melbourne’s design inspiration is translated into vignettes of Melbourne’s streetscapes, letting guests uncover the dynamic city’s past from behind the scenes.

Upon arrival at W Melbourne, guests are introduced to the neighborhood’s iconic laneways, famous for their graffiti street art and offbeat, eclectic characters. Victorian bluestone tiles connect the Living Room to the laneway, blurring the line between the exterior and interior, where the Welcome Desk stands ready to greet guests. A vast lenticular art installation by local painter and digital artist Rus Kitchin immerses viewers into a canopy of Australian flora and fauna growing above the famed Hosier Lane. The illuminated glass and wood of the Flinders Lane entrance is juxtaposed against the shadows of the hotel’s foyer.

W Melbourne has 294 luxuriously stylish guest rooms and 29 suites, with design details curated to reflect Melbourne’s fascinating history and culture. The hotel’s Wonderful, Fabulous and Mega category rooms are inspired by the neighboring street-level newspaper kiosks that back to the 1960s. Each room features floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning skyline views. The Marvelous rooms feature a vibrant wall graphic of a fairy wren, a bird native to Australia, pulling back a layer of fabric to reveal a colorful Melbourne scene. The graphic pays homage to the city’s roots as a fashion hub, with Flinders Lane at the center of its textile trade. The 175-square-meter Extreme Wow Suite (W Hotels’ modern interpretation of the traditional presidential suite), is on the hotel’s highest floor at Level 15, and features a large balcony with expansive views of the Yarra River and an interactive music station – a fresh take on an old-school jukebox.

New/Next in Melbourne Dining
W Melbourne’s distinctive restaurants and bars are all set to amplify Melbourne’s dining landscape with innovative, original takes on the city’s multicultural cuisines. All-day dining restaurant Lollo, under the culinary creative direction of celebrated chef Adam D’Sylva, offers a menu that’s designed to be shared and celebrates the chef’s mixed heritage. At the centre of the action and pulse of the hotel is cocktail bar Curious, with its design as impressive as the evocative cocktail list. The bar welcomes guests into a cocoon-inspired space formed by its overhead timber beams in a parametric sequence with low lighting and muted color palettes. Signature Japanese restaurant WARABI focuses on the freshest seasonal produce with seating for only 30 diners and a private dining room for ten. Culprit channels Melbourne’s café culture into an original bar concept that adds a new twist to the dining experience with a sophisticated floor-to-ceiling charcuterie display and a Vermouth tasting tray.

Electric Events
Mixing work with play, guests will be captivated by 830 square meters of ultra-modern conference, meeting and event space at W Melbourne, setting the stage for spectacular events with fully adaptable conference equipment, world-class audio-visual facilities and contemporary cuisine from the expert in-house catering team. The jewel in the crown, the GREAT ROOM, is a 426 square meter pillarless ballroom with an abundance of natural light and 4×5-meter LED wall. To celebrate the region’s diverse seasons and autumn as a popular time to visit, Melbourne-born visual artist, Ash Keating utilized soft pinks and violets to light up the GREAT ROOM ceiling for an enchanting experience for guests.

FIT and WET on Level 14 will inspire the W ‘Detox.Retox.Repeat’ brand signature wellness philosophy, offering spectacular views alongside an ultramodern fitness facility, gold-roofed indoor pool, poolside bar and DJ booth.
