Dealer-FX Enjoys 90% User Retention After Integrating Stream Chat
Blog post from Stream
Dealer-FX, an automotive software company, sought to enhance its communication platform for service dealerships by integrating Stream's chat API, aiming to improve vehicle maintenance experiences through features like 1:1 chat and automated group messaging. Initially relying on disparate SMS tools, the company recognized the need for a more cohesive system to facilitate internal communication and customer interaction, prompting them to seek a third-party solution that aligned with their innovative and entrepreneurial values. Stream's scalable backend infrastructure and customer service made it a suitable partner, enabling Dealer-FX to create a customized communication tool capable of storing, filtering, and searching data types, which improved dealership operations by ensuring all stakeholders remain informed. The integration of Stream's API led to a significant rise in user retention to 90%, and Dealer-FX plans to further enhance the platform by adding slash command functionality, potential video and audio components, and a mobile version using Stream's Mobile UI Kit.
