“ARI Mobile offers dealers an innovative new tool that puts complete control of their dealership’s major unit inventory in the palm of their hand,” said Brad Smith, ARI Vice President of Product Management. “With 81% of shoppers researching major purchases online before visiting a store, according to GE Capital Retail Bank research, it’s critical for dealers to list their full inventory online to capture consumer interest and drive in-store traffic. ARI Mobile presents a significant value to dealers allowing them to keep major unit inventory up-to-date in a fraction of the time.”
