The Importance of Body Invoices
Body invoices play a crucial role in improving the commercial buyer experience and enhancing your storefront. Whenever we reference body invoices in the WTS Portal, we are referring to the Body Manufacturer’s Invoice or Build Sheet for your upfit vehicles. By sending us your body invoices, you allow us to pull all the key details and features of your upfit vehicles and present them in a clear, easily digestible format for your buyers. This not only ensures that the vehicle information is accurate but also significantly improves the search experience for your buyers. With body invoices, we allow buyers to filter their search by specific body-related facets, such as body type, body manufacturer, and body length, making it easier for them to find exactly what they need.
Providing us with your body invoices also ensures that your inventory is featured on our body manufacturer and distributor locator sites, giving your listings greater visibility to commercial buyers. This can expose your inventory to new potential buyers who may not have been aware that you stock commercial vehicles, ultimately boosting your sales opportunities.
How does this information on your storefront's vehicle detail pages (VDPs) help you and your buyers?
By providing your commercial buyers with these essential body details, you ensure that the leads you receive through your storefront are of much higher quality. Buyers won’t need to contact you to confirm specific body details only to discover that the vehicle doesn’t actually meet their needs. Instead, they’ll have all the crucial information upfront, allowing them to focus on discussing pricing or financing when they reach out, rather than specifications. This streamlines the sales process and puts you and your team in a stronger position to close deals more efficiently.
Impact of Not Providing Body Invoices
If body invoices are not provided, the following may occur:
Missing Key Details: Without body invoices, key vehicle details cannot be displayed to your commercial buyers, potentially making it harder for them to make informed decisions.
Limited Visibility: Your vehicles will not be featured on the body manufacturer and distributor locator sites, which means you could lose out on potential additional leads from buyers searching these platforms.
