27,000 retail locations to benefit from automated online reputation management solution

 

Lehi, Utah – March 17, 2017 – Podium, the platform that enables businesses to build and manage their online reputation through user-generated content and online reviews, today revealed a new partnership with CDK, the largest global provider of integrated information technology and digital marketing solutions to the automotive retail industry.

 

The partnership will enable CDK’s customers to fully automate the customer reviews process in over 27,000 retail locations - helping dealerships boost local search ranking, increase trust and loyalty with consumers, and improve business operations.

Through CDK’s strategic relationships with other Dealer Management System (DMS) providers, the Podium partnership will also allow a broader network of dealerships to benefit from Podium’s automated review technology.

 

"Podium and CDK's technology will help us increase visibility and reach to prospective customers across our 27 dealerships in the Chicago and Indiana area,” said Ryan Rohrman, Director of Operations, Bob Rohrman Auto Group. “This integration will help us more efficiently grow our online presence on the sites that matter most to our prospective customers.”
