Our Company Vision and Philosophy
Hey There,
First off, welcome to the Advent Website. I hope you find what you need.
When we set out to start building automotive retail software solutions we knew we wanted to be different, which is how we wanted this site to be –different from every other company. “Different how? you ask” Well, Instead of being a slog of techno-jargon and product specs, this site is in a sense a conversation between us and you.
We put heart into what and we do and we wanted our site to represent that.
You are looking to solve problems in your dealership and/or make a good thing a great thing and that is what we want to help you do.
We want to make the business of selling cars free of frustration and full of profit.
Our software is tirelessly designed to do that -To help the most techno-phobic sales people sell.
It will help your sales team eliminate the uncertainty of what to do by providing your staff with the structure of “what to do next” and how to do it.
It will help you see if *Those things* are getting done and to what effect. You can see the results and outcomes of the team over any time period, in any department to help you man the helm amidst clear skies or change course in troubled waters.
One of things I noticed when I first got in to this business is that much of the software was made in spite of how a dealership works best and dealers had to shift their operations to work around that.
I wanted to see how a great dealership ran first, then build solutions that could recreate that in any dealership. That’s what we did.
