We've been working hard on the latest HTML5 version of the AutoPlay Studio.  It's been a huge project, but the good news is the finish line is in sight.

We have selected 5 dealers to start trialing a BETA version of the software from Monday April 1st, 2019.  This will provide us with first hand feedback on how dealers use the new system and allow us to make any tweaks that come up.  If you've been selected as one of the lucky few trial dealers we'll be in touch in March to give you access, and walk you through the new features.

We've also pinned down a full launch date of Monday July 1st, 2019.  This day is 99% locked in barring any catastrophes in the rest of the development project.  We'll share more details as they become available.

WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED ABOUT THE NEW VERSION OF THE AUTOPLAY STUDIO?
  1. It's faster! - Our developers have worked really hard to make sure the new version of the software runs as quickly as possible.  This means it's a lot easier to search through your database of leads and customers.
  2. It's more stable - One of the main drivers for rebuilding the Desktop software was to make sure we are taking advantage of the latest tech to provide our dealerships with a stable, cohesive platform that helps dealers run both their day-to-day and long term business.
  3. It will work on a wider range of internet browsers - The current Silverlight based version of AutoPlay will only work on Internet Explorer (as Silverlight is no longer supported by other browsers).  The new version will work on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari etc - so you can use whatever browser you prefer.
  4. You can use it on more devices - As it's browser based, you'll be able to use the new version of AutoPlay on a wider range of devices.  At present we only have the Desktop software, and a purpose built iOS App for iPhones and iPads.  The new version will work on Android and Windows smartphones and tablets - giving you greater freedom to use AutoPlay your way.
  5. It's familiar....but better - We've made sure not to dramatically change the Sales Pipeline in the new HTML5 version of the software - after all, if it aint broke, don't fix it!  However this doesn't mean we've become complacent.  For example the Sales Pipeline Dashboard has had a number of key improvements driven by customer feedback.  We've introduced the ability to filter your leads by Created Date in addition to the normal 'Next Action' date, we've added a Updated column and we now show the method that was used to capture the lead (i.e manually loaded, Lead API, email capture etc).  
  6. It will let us return to quarterly releases - For those dealerships that were customers before 2018, you'll remember we used to release a new version of the AutoPlay Sales Pipeline every 3 months.  As we've been busy working on the HTML5 version the normal release schedule has been disrupted.  Once we release the new version in July we'll be going back to quarterly releases - meaning that more of your good ideas will be able to be added to the AutoPlay suite of products, in a faster time frame.

KEY DATES
April 1st, 2019          BETA trial launch with 5 dealerships
July 1st, 2019           Full customer launch
