It allows us to increase the efficiency of our warranty process and gives visual history of a unit or part when it enters the dealership, removing any possibility of future discrepancies.” - Carly Poole, Buckeye Marine.

BCRV, is a full version of our desktop application and while the size of the screen does mean some compromises, you can do most everything right here in the palm of your hand. If you are using an iPad we suggest you use our full browser version because it is designed for that size screen natively. Send texts, manage email, view your MyDay, check and add inventory and so much more. From your inbox to your lead pools, The CRM allows you to get to work and stay at work all the time, anytime. Note: This app will ask for location access to be able to help management of your dealership understand when you are available to take a customer and when you are out on a test drive. This may have an impact on your phone battery.
