Codeweavers is giving retailers access to their online Checkout and Remote Apply solutions for free for three months.
The digital commerce solutions company has said that it wants to make sure retailers are set up to enable their customers to buy their vehicles and finance them remotely.
Checkout lets the customers buy vehicles from home. It even lets them add the retailer’s optional extras, apply for finance and arrange collection or delivery.
Remote Apply lets retailers generate a range of vehicle and finance offers to send to customers, which they can then review, personalise and for finance anywhere in the world.
Later this quarter, Codeweavers will be adding the ability for the customer to jump straight to the checkout from the email that the retailer sends out.
As many of their customers start to self-isolate and quarantine there will likely be a significant drop in showroom footfall, and it is therefore vital that retailers have effective alternatives to generate new business.
They need to be able to provide their customers with the ability to find, finance and take possession of their vehicle through their websites and other digital channels.
Roland Schaack Codeweavers CEO said: “Codeweavers are acutely aware of the stresses that many businesses are under now.
“It’s clear that face-to-face contact is going to be severely restricted for a long time to come and so it’s going to be critical to be able to facilitate remote/online sales.
“Because of this, we have decided to offer retailers who don’t have access to similar tools from their web providers three months free use of some of our newest online and showroom digital commerce tools.
“Here at Codeweavers, we have a clear, well-defined plan that will enable us to provide continued support for our services throughout the crisis.”
