XIGroup redesigns inventory display with significant enhancements

WHITE MARSH, MD, April 12, 2010- XIGROUP, a leading provider of website lead generation and design customization for franchise and independent automotive dealers, has redesigned its inventory display to keep dealers competitive. XIGROUP is a division of Dominion Dealer Solutions.

“The redesign of our vehicle inventory will push our dealers ahead of their competition. Consumers can find what they are looking for faster, and dealers can tailor their inventory to look more like the rest of their website. After conducting extensive research, we determined that although we offer one of the better inventory displays on the market, we felt it was time to utilize the latest technology and push the product to the cutting edge,” said Joe High, group general manager for Dominion Dealer Solutions.

XIGroup now offers a visually appealing user interface and many new features, including:

-          Custom inventory page layouts

-          Custom search results layouts

-          Custom detail page layouts

-          Inventory, search results and detail pages all branded for manufacturer compliance

-          Social network integration

-          Photo and video galleries available on search results pages

-          Enhanced lead generation

-          New car comparison feature allowing buyers to compare details of up to four (4) cars

-          Specials and coupons themed to match dealer websites

-          One click access to all contact forms

-          Deeper filtering criteria

“The launch of this new inventory display propels XIGroup into an era of unprecedented customization for dealer inventory.  Gone are the days of each dealer’s inventory looking exactly the same,” said Sean Stansell, Product Development Manager for XIGroup.  “Now the dealer can tailor the display to match their site and their brand, while providing their prospective customers with an easier, more intuitive interface.”

Dealers choose from three primary inventory formats, which are adjusted to match the dealer’s main website. Further customization resides in the search results and detail page layouts, where dealers can choose between several styles, selecting a default for how the vehicle information is displayed. Prospective car buyers can switch between styles when viewing information in the inventory, allowing for both dealer and customer flexibility. With every layout branded to match the dealer’s website, the car buyer experiences a seamless transition between the rest of the dealer’s site and the vehicle inventory.

The new inventory manager will be included as part of the XIGroup website package for all new and renewing customers. For more information, go to: www.xigroup.com/inventory-design
