HBS Systems, a provider of web-based equipment dealership management solutions has partnered with Kenect, a texting platform for equipment dealers, to enhance communication efficiencies for equipment dealerships worldwide.

This partnership will provide dealers utilizing HBS Systems’ NetView ECO equipment dealership management solution with an even more robust communication platform to increase efficiency, strengthen customer satisfaction and maximize revenue. The integration will allow dealers to text their customers from their existing business phone line. Messages can be assigned to team members, set up auto-responders, schedule appointment reminders, attach files, invoices, videos, and more.

“As the number of consumers who indicate texting as their preferred method of communication with dealerships continues to increase, especially in the service and rental departments, we’re proud to provide additional options,” says Chad Stone, President and CEO, HBS Systems. “Our team is constantly working to provide an open API to easily bring partners into the HBS Systems NetView ECO software ecosystem.”
