Tired of bolt-on CRM products from third party vendors? Extend your productivity in dealing with leads, prospects and communications by extending the CRM functionality of the PBS v10 Dealer Management System into the palm of your hand. Whether you are responding to new leads while watching the game, skimming through inventory with a new friend at the pub, or walking through the lot with an interested buyer - you can increase your ability to match customers to the right vehicle whenever the opportunity arises. Scan a VIN to select an inventory vehicle; scan a drivers license to add customer data (and match any existing customers in your DMS) and you're off to the races. Need to text, email or call - do it from your device and track that activity has taken place. Not sitting at a computer? Get alerts for your customers visiting the service department... with insights into whether (and why) they may be entering into a purchasing cycle. Receive notifications for new leads and reply to 'stop-the-clock'. Schedule activities, meetings and appointments that remain visible to your managers without leaving the DMS. Need to get some input from someone at the dealership while you're on a demo drive? Use the v10 Chat to instant message your manager for timely responses. But it's going to cost me an arm and a leg, right? No way! The PBS Sales Rep App runs complimentary with each user login in the PBS v10 DMS. If your sales reps are actively using the DMS today, one DMS login will share a user license with the app. It's as easy as that. If your dealership is on PBS v10 versions 10.5 and higher, download the app and talk to your admin about getting your sales team set up today!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PBS Sales at none against Shaare's 10. Shaare's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
