A customer data capture system integrated with a dealership data
management system allows customer and vehicle maintenance data to be
exchanged between a kiosk on the floor of the dealership and the data
management system. The customer inserts a customized card into a kiosk,
and interacts with the pre-programmed software on the kiosk. The software
recommends scheduled maintenance services and suggests potential coupon
savings, based on the information received from the customer's card and
the information stored in the data management system. A service order is
generated and routed to the service department. As a result, the accuracy
and speed of entering customer data are enhanced, while the dealership is
able to offer value-added services at the point of sale, thus enhancing
the dealership's business relationship with the customer.
