OUR SOLUTION

With multiple Franklin County automotive dealerships (including Handy Toyota, Handy Chevrolet and a full service used car dealership “Handy Downtown”) the Handy Cars group has always been committed to leveraging technology in order to provide a state of the art sales and service experiences for its customers. For over 20 years, Open Approach has facilitated the continued growth initiatives of Handy Cars by providing a full/comprehensive suite of IT services and multi-site telecommunications solutions that fully interconnect the multiple business units (and physical locations) that also comprise the organization which also include Rail City Liners, St. Albans Rental Car and Novus Glass of St. Albans. Open Approach has worked closely with a number of 3rd party solution providers over the years to successfully design, integrate and secure their presence as part of Handy Cars IT footprint with such advancements as Dealership Management systems integrations, Digital Signage, Multipoint Inspection systems, Service & Parts Catalog systems, Wireless Diagnostic tool integrations, etc. Developing this partnership at a time when there were only a handful of computers and dial-up internet so many years ago and participating in the on-going transition and growth over time to a multi-site, multi-business unit organization with multiple firewalls, internet carriers, integrated voice/communications, mobility, etc. . . .  Open Approach is rewarded by being an integral part of Handy Cars continued growth and success.

TESTIMONIAL

“It is a huge relief to have someone that I know I can call in order to get something taken care of. We are running a big business, and we’ve got a lot of employees that rely on our stability and our infrastructure to get their jobs done. And it’s not only taking care of our employees and what we need to get done, it more importantly what our customers need from us.”
