Learn More About Your Customers with the Customer History Screen

Deals
Article Highlights:

  • Have more information about your customer while working a deal.
  • See deal history, customer lifetime value, and service history.

When you’re working a deal with customers, or if you’re getting ready to present in F&I, it’s good to know what kind of history they have with your store. When working in ERA-IGNITE F&I, you can easily learn more about customers, including their service history and previous F&I purchases using the Customer History screen.

You can access the Customer History screen from a Deal Worksheet in two different ways.  The first way is by simply selecting the Customer History icon, located just above the “Deal” section in the top left hand corner of the Deal Worksheet.
