What is Powersports Desking and Why Does it Matter?
Why does it matter?
Desking is a term that’s been in the automotive and vehicle industry for years. Historically, desking a deal referred to the part of the transaction where the customer is presented with their options to sit down and agree upon a selling price, financing terms, and monthly payment. Today, the term is still used in the same sense, but in reference to the available technology tools that can help streamline this part of the buying process.
DESIGNATION 
Powersports & Motorsports desking tools are designed to make the entire transaction easier, from start to finish, and increase the likelihood of return customers. This will happen because they appreciate the efficiency and professionalism of your streamlined operations. There are several desking platforms out there, and they’re not all created equally. However, they all have a shared goal of improving the customer transaction process and streamlining dealership operations.
DAY-TO-DAY
More and more things in day-to-day life are becoming instantly available or requiring a much shorter waiting period, and a lot of this is due to technology. For example, someone who might have had to wait three weeks for a catalog order in the past can now order the same item from an online site like Amazon and have it in a day. Some brands even offer same-day deliveries. It's all about convenience, and while people understand that dealerships are a unique business, they still want as much convenience as possible here, too.
