The Challenge

The Audi dealership operated in a fast-moving luxury market where customer expectations demanded speed and a premium, high-touch experience. While the stores relied on CDK Global as its system of record and VinSolutions for CRM, both platforms were largely desktop-centric and poorly suited for how sales actually happened on the lot and in the showroom.

Key challenges included:

  • Sales reps spending excessive time returning to desks for pricing, approvals, and updates
  • Limited mobile access to CDK inventory and pricing data in real time
  • VinSolutions customer data not easily actionable during live, in-person interactions
  • Inconsistent connectivity across the lot, making browser-based tools unreliable
  • Slow handoffs between sales, desk managers, and F&I during peak traffic
  • Limited real-time visibility for managers into deal status and bottlenecks

The dealership wanted to modernize sales workflows without replacing CDK or VinSolutions, and without introducing a heavy, low-adoption system.

Our Solution

SandBox Union built a mobile-first sales platform that layered cleanly on top of the dealership’s existing systems, using Fortellis' CDK CRM Sales Workflow Bundle designed specifically for showroom and lot workflows.

What we delivered:

  • Mobile Inventory Companion
    Fast VIN and stock lookup sourced from CDK Global, optimized for mobile use with offline capture and background sync.
  • Mobile Deal Desk
    Quote creation and pricing workflows with manager approvals, reducing desk trips while preserving dealership controls.
  • Customer Timeline & Follow-Up
    A unified customer view powered by VinSolutions, giving reps immediate access to lead history, vehicle interest, and next steps.
  • Structured F&I Handoff
    Validated deal packets passed cleanly from sales to finance, reducing re-entry and resets.
  • Manager Visibility Dashboard
    Tablet and web views showing live deal status, approvals, and aging during peak showroom hours.

Technology highlights:

  • TypeScript across mobile and backend
  • Angular + Ionic (Capacitor) for cross-platform iOS and Android apps
  • Node.js (NestJS) APIs with PostgreSQL
  • Offline-first mobile architecture with queued sync
  • Centralized authentication, role-based access, and managed app releases

The Outcome

Results

  • Faster quote creation and fewer interruptions to the sales floor
  • Shorter approval cycles during high-traffic periods
  • Cleaner, more reliable sales-to-F&I handoffs
  • Improved real-time visibility for sales managers
  • Strong adoption by sales teams due to mobile-native design

Outcome

By extending CDK Global and VinSolutions with purpose-built mobile tools, SandBox Union helped the dealership modernize sales operations without disrupting core systems. The result was a faster, more fluid, and more premium sales experience aligned with Audi customer expectations.
