WSIADA UPDATES

FINAL PHASE OF NEW CRM

We are in the final phase of updating our Customer Relationship System (CRM) to allow for our dealers to gain more access to the WSIADA. This has been a long time coming for the past few years. Dealers have called into the association and asked, “What’s my login for the website?” and we have been unable to provide that for them.

We are confident that in late March, early April, testing will be completed, and we will be able to go live so dealers will be able to access their login portal on WSIADA.com.

There will be a great deal of new options for dealers: • Ability to login and update business contact information such as addresses, emails and phone numbers, staffing, etc. • Ability to pay any open invoices, membership dues, etc. • Autopay set up for membership renewals or sign up for monthly membership • Register for an event without multiple steps and information • Subscribe to mailing lists specifically for a purpose such as Title Workshop,

Chapter Meetings, Upcoming

Education, etc. • Notification of license renewal via email as well as by mail • Member specific benefits such as

Job Boards to help your search for a position at your dealership

There are some other features under development are coming with this new access portal. Some will still be Membership specific options, but we are welcoming thoughts on what we can include with this new system for dealers.

If your email is in our system, you will receive notification to login for the first time using your first and last name plus your email on record. Many dealerships have “shared” emails instead of individual emails that we will want to update soon.

For members, this login will be different from your Vendor Savings or existing web store accounts, but you will be able to access the logins through the new portal. n
