"Today's increasingly sophisticated consumer wants to complete more of their car research and dealer interaction online, but clunky searches, lack of monthly payment options and complicated finance processes can make for a frustrating experience that often results in a shopper simply leaving a website," said Amit Maheshwari, general manager, DealerTrack Data Services and Digital Retailing Solutions. "Our digital retailing solutions take a significant step forward in alleviating these frustrations by helping streamline the online buying process so that consumers can be moved further down the sales funnel and dealers can focus on highly qualified online leads that hit the dealership's lot ready to buy."

DealerTrack's digital retailing solutions are available either as a set of web services that website developers can utilize to build their own consumer-facing applications or through a simple, intuitive web-based interface plug-in called eBusiness Suite. The following solutions will be shown at NADA 2012:

• DealerTrack SmartFind – A recently-introduced web service that uses proprietary "best match" search algorithms to return a ranked list of available vehicles in inventory, based upon a consumer's specific search parameters, and perform robust comparisons of actual vehicles in inventory;
• PaymentDriver 2.0 – A new version of DealerTrack's web-based online finance payment calculation service for automotive retail portals and websites, giving consumers the ability to generate accurate monthly payments for specific vehicles based on the most current finance rates and residuals available from a dealership's finance partners; and
• FinanceDriver 1.0 – This web service, which will be previewed at NADA 2012, allows automotive retailers to provide robust financing services to consumers during the vehicle research process, including the ability to complete a simplified credit application online.

These innovative digital retailing solutions are available through DealerTrack as well as Chrome Data Solutions, a joint venture between DealerTrack and AutoData. In addition to its Digital Retailing solutions, DealerTrack will be demonstrating its mobile app for vehicle inventory management and merchandising, as well as its DMS offering and popular Compliance solution, in the DealerTrack Booth (#1751) at the upcoming NADA Convention and Expo, in Las Vegas, February 4th – 6th, 2012.
