Streamlined data and analytics
More robust analytics and reporting capabilities are coming your way with new enhancements on Modal Desk. Streamlining data and analytics aims to give dealers up-to-the-minute visibility of sales performance.

This reporting capability can help sales and operations leaders create data-driven business decisions, especially when formulating new strategies or improving existing processes.

Modal now partners with JM&A to dynamically show Finance and Insurance (F&I) products within the online checkout experience. This integration empowers customers with more choices during the checkout process, keeping them informed on what valuable add-ons can be included in their purchase. In addition, this can also help increase F&I profits effortlessly by making these options readily accessible through Modal Checkout.
