Partnership allows Batteries Plus technicians to access vehicle-specific instructional videos, estimated installation times and required tools to improve service MILWAUKEE, WI / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / CarCareKiosk, the leader in vehicle-specific instructional content and data, has announced a long-term partnership with Batteries Plus to utilize CarCareKiosk's proprietary Estimated Installation Times, Required Tools and How-to Videos. Batteries Plus will leverage CarCareKiosk's content and data into its ProSource Point of Service ("POS") system so store associates are able to quickly determine if a customer's battery is a candidate for replacement. Batteries Plus store associates are now equipped with the knowledge of what specific tools are necessary and step-by-step video instructions to successfully complete the replacement for the customer. "OEMs are increasingly installing batteries in non-intuitive locations away from the heat of the engine bay; locating and replacing batteries has therefore become more complex," said Hans Angermeier, Managing Member of CarCareKiosk. "Our partners need to know how difficult it is to replace a battery, how long the process will take and what specific tools are required for every vehicle on the road. The expansive CarCareKiosk content library, with coverage for over 86% of vehicles in operation ("VIO") and proprietary content management system enable us to provide the right information at the exact point in the customer sale process to optimize value." As part of the partnership, Batteries Plus is using CarCareKiosk's custom API to pull data directly onto its ProSource POS system. With this implementation, store associates are able to see the estimated installation times, required tools and how-to content for the customer's vehicle at the critical moment of need: when the customer is at the counter, asking to have their battery replaced. "Having access to CarCareKiosk's standardized how-to data will enhance both the knowledge and confidence of our trusted advisors to determine if they can replace the customer's battery quickly and easily," said Patty Yu, Batteries Plus Director Merchandise Management. "Integrating innovative digital tools from CarCareKiosk into ProSource will make it easier for our advisors to deliver a consistent consumer experience and get our customers right back on the road." Garrett Tortelli, Batteries Plus Senior Merchandise Manager, notes: "This partnership shows how Batteries Plus responds to feedback from our retail teams to get them what they need to deliver the best consumer experience."
