Dealerware, a fleet management provider servicing retail automotive dealers, announced a data integration with Cox Automotive’s Xtime, a provider of service scheduling software. This new collaboration will provide benefits for mutual dealer customers of both Dealerware and Xtime.

This launch will help automate the process for reservations to be initiated at the time of service appointment scheduling. Once the customer books a service appointment and requests a loaner vehicle, an appointment is automatically populated in Dealerware’s new drag-and-drop calendar, providing unparalleled planning for dealers to increase utilization of vehicles and thereby increase profitability.

“We at Dealerware pride ourselves on leveraging ecosystem integrations in a way that sets a new bar for effectively managing vehicles at a dealer,” said Hallie Rinderle, SVP of partnerships and marketing at Dealerware. “We believe this will be a highly anticipated change for our joint customers. It will take the guesswork out of appointment capacity planning and ultimately provide insights that impact their bottom line.”
