Rollick Inc. and Kenect will partner beginning in August.
Kenect’s Text Lead and Text-to-Pay solutions will be integrated into RollickDR, the company’s new digital retailing solution, and soon will be integrated into the GoRollick Marketplace platform.
“We are always looking for ways to provide a more seamless e-commerce experience for our dealer partners, OEM clients, and loyal buyers of our exclusive network of affinity membership groups,” Rollick CEO Bernie Brenner said. “Kenect is the leading text marketing and payment solution in the industry and a natural partner for Rollick. We are two valuable platforms joining forces to bring even more innovation to the recreation industry.”
Dealerships in Rollick’s network receive Reserve Now functionality at no additional charge through 2021 to address unprecedented demand and shortage of inventory. Those dealers that work with Kenect now can include credit-card down payments via Kenect’s Text-to-Pay functionality within the RollickDR Reserve Now feature.
“We immediately received consistent positive customer feedback on the text payment function after signing up with Kenect’s Text-to-Pay in 2020,” said Kyle Blackwell, sales manager of Fun Bike Center Motorsports. “In addition to the increased customer satisfaction, our employees saw vast improvement in efficiency and time management. We also see greater customer engagement and quality within Rollick’s tools.”
“We are very excited by this integration given Rollick’s leadership in helping recreation brands and dealerships meet the expectations and needs of today’s shoppers,” said Shaun Sorensen, Kenect co-founder and CEO.
Overlapping dealers in Rollick’s and Kenect’s dealer network can begin to take advantage of the integration in August. The companies will market each other’s products to respective dealers through joint sales and marketing efforts.
Rollick Inc. is a leading relationship marketing technology provider for the marine, powersports and RV industries. Kenect is a provider of business texting and communications technology.
