Switch from Loco-Soft to AutoPult: Desktop Out, Cloud In
Are you using Loco-Soft and increasingly hitting the limits of your desktop system? No mobile access, manual updates, costly server maintenance? Switching to AutoPult brings your car dealership into the cloud – without data loss and without business interruption. Hundreds of dealers have already made this move.
Why Dealers Are Switching from Loco-Soft
Loco-Soft has served many dealers well for years. But requirements have changed: mobile access, automatic marketplace integration, cloud security, and modern interfaces are now essential for successful car dealership operations. Desktop software can no longer deliver this.
- No Mobile Access: Employees are tied to the office PC. Access is unavailable on the lot or at customer meetings.
- Server Dependency: Local servers cause ongoing costs – a failure can bring the entire business to a standstill.
- Manual Updates: Every update must be installed manually, sometimes causing business interruption.
- Limited Automation: Many processes require manual steps that run automatically in AutoPult.
- Missing Integrations: Modern interfaces to marketplaces and valuation services are missing or outdated.
