Meet Gerent Experience
Today, customers don’t just expect digital services; they want delightful experiences that seamlessly bridge every channel from website to car lot. Exceed their expectations by “going omnichannel” with Gerent and Automotive Cloud.
Your organization doesn’t need third-party data to deliver personalized experiences. Our team can help you gather first-party data to create rapport, engage customers, and form lifelong relationships.
More and more customers are beginning their vehicle search online, so it's important for dealers and OEMs to have a complete catalog of product information digitally available. Digitize your inventory via Salesforce Automotive Cloud.
Knowledge is power. Evaluate and improve your organization’s CLTV by developing genuinely personalized experiences that keep your customers coming back over and over again.
Tired of searching through data silos for up-to-date customer information? With Salesforce, all the data your team needs is readily accessible in a centralized CRM hub.
A tool is only useful if people use it. We’ll help you drive adoption across your organization so every person on your team can optimize their work with Automotive Cloud.
Gerent’s consultants are dedicated to maintaining a thorough understanding of the automotive dealer and OEM model. Our veteran team will be there with your organization through every step of the digital transformation process — from road mapping a plan to customizing a solution and driving adoption through well-designed training programs.
Our experts apply what we call a “straight-to-value” approach to partnership; we’ll meet you where you are, keenly evaluate your problems, and provide tailor-made solutions that address your needs without any filler. We have a genuine passion for vehicles and empowering the people who create, distribute, and service them.
Every one of our consultants have stood in your shoes. We know what OEMs, dealers, and customers want — and we have the expertise to help your team exceed expectations.
Gerent’s experts have the skills necessary to deliver your organization’s Salesforce solution on time and within budget. Our team was one of the first to develop a best-in-class accelerator for Automotive Cloud.
Our team takes collaboration seriously; we’ll provide meaningful support and valuable guidance through every stage of your Salesforce implementation journey.
Salesforce isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. Gerent began as one of the company’s own professional services teams, implementing solutions on Salesforce’ behalf. After eight long years of learning and growth, we ventured out to explore the ecosystem on our own; however, we’ve never forgotten our roots.
Today, our industry expertise doesn’t just inform us; it inspires us to keep pushing, keep discovering, and keep expanding our integration capabilities. We aren’t afraid to blaze new trails if it means delivering the results our clients need — and we regularly develop custom solutions that redefine what’s possible for Salesforce products.
Discovery is our way of life, and we are committed to living it.

“We have been in business since 1968 and our team prides itself on its personable service — but we rely way too much on the people who provide it. Our customer records are stored in individual team members’ notebooks, spreadsheets, and computers; if an employee is out of the office, we may not have access to the information we need to serve our customers.”
“Information accessibility is a major pain point for my team. We often struggle to obtain the sales metrics we need to refine our marketing and production strategies. How can we develop a winning strategy if we don’t know what’s happening on the ground?”
“Data silos pose a perpetual problem for my team. We have scant visibility into our dealers’ operations and source our information almost exclusively from phone conversations and emails. Obtaining a ‘real-time’ view of our conglomerate’s operations feels like an impossibility; by the time we finish talking to all of our dealers, some of our information is at least a few weeks out of date.”

Customer expectations in the automotive sector are at an all-time high. Today, shoppers expect car buying to be as easy and seamless as purchasing a computer at Best Buy or an item from Amazon. However, the car-buying experience often falls short of those expectations, leaving consumers feeling confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated by their sales or service experiences.
This white paper will explain why experiences are inextricably tied to customer return rates and operational performance and make a case for why organizations should adopt an omnichannel approach to customer engagement.
Anyone who has bought, sold, or taken a vehicle in for service knows that customer experience is a major pain point for the automotive industry. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), dealers, and service providers alike have long struggled to give customers the clear communication and personalized experience they need, especially as the industry shifts into a digital-first model. But to meet consumers’ increasingly high expectations, they need effective digital tools– which is exactly what Salesforce’s newly-announced Automotive Cloud intends to provide.
