Houston Dealership Unlocks $1.2 Million in Annual Revenue with Zapmoto
A prominent Houston-area dealership was determined to modernize its service department and maximize the potential of its Pickup and Delivery (PDEL) program. By partnering with Zapmoto, the dealership implemented a high-efficiency logistics system that resulted in unprecedented growth in service capacity and a massive surge in Repair Order (RO) value.
The Challenge: Maximizing High-Value PDEL Customers
The dealership recognized that its PDEL customers were highly valuable, but managing the logistics was a constant drain on staff time. They needed a way to drastically scale their PDEL operations without increasing manual labor, ensuring every trip was profitable and every customer interaction was seamless.

The Results: Doubled Trips and a $1.2 Million Annual Revenue Windfall
The integration of Zapmoto drove exponential growth, demonstrating exceptional gains in operational efficiency and financial performance.
