IgniteRetention

Reveal your true return-to-buy retention.

IgniteRetention is an automotive business intelligence module that turns your DMS vehicle sales data into a clear, group-wide view of customer loyalty.

RWA Automotive Retail - IgniteRetention

Understand where loyalty is won and where it leaks.

With IgniteRetention, you can use your data to deliver car dealership analytics that show true ReturnToBuy behaviour across your entire group – providing you with a credible baseline and the confidence to build retention processes that move your profit margin forward.

Measure true customer loyalty, not just finance renewals.

Finance renewals only tell part of the story; IgniteRetention focuses on whether customers genuinely come back to buy again, so you can manage what matters and stop underestimating churn.

Expose cross site movement.

Customers don’t always leave; they often move. See when loyalty shifts between rooftops, identify where relationships are breaking down, and protect lifetime value across your network.

Turn insight into repeatable action.

From month-by-month trends to new-to-used switching and time-to-change patterns, IgniteRetention shows what’s driving retention outcomes. This means you can target the right sites and build processes that improve profit with minimal offset cost.

Clarity.

Know your true baseline, then manage retention with confidence.

IgniteRetention analyses a minimum of five years of sales history and produces an accurate, groupwide view of customer loyalty, not an estimate based on finance renewals. You’ll see retention rates for new and used vehicles, branch-by-branch performance, and month-by-month movement, enabling sharper decisions and more effective planning using automotive data analytics that reflect real buying behaviour.

Control.

Focus effort where it will move margin, site by site.

Retention improvement comes from focusing on your biggest opportunities and directing attention where it will create meaningful margin. IgniteRetention highlights high-potential branches, reveals cross-branch customer movement, and maps true time-to-change patterns so you can plan proactive retention activity and strengthen repeat purchase performance across the group.
