IRVINE, Calif. -

AutoAlert announced it is now a certified partner in the Audi of America Tier III Co-Op Program.

The program allows Audi dealerships to be reimbursed for certain OEM-approved expenses, provided they follow certain guidelines and have funding available. This process can give their teams more spending power elsewhere, according to news release.

AutoAlert equity- and data-mining customers can benefit from valuable consumer insights such as knowing the makes and models searched, previous dealership interactions, existing social connections with dealerships and insights on previous purchases.

“This is an exciting time for AutoAlert’s software and our dealerships, as we are able to offer equity- and data-mining insights, sophisticated communications, and alerts right to our dealerships’ desktop,”  Kendall Billman, AutoAlert senior vice president, said in the release.

“Now, with our certified partnership with Audi of America Tier III Co-Op Program, we offer our dealers the opportunity to extend their budgets while increasing sales opportunities and client retention," Billman added.
