KUKUI Partners with Automotive Training Institute (ATI)

KUKUI • December 3, 2015

Software maker will serve as an “endorsed vendor” to ATI’s clients



Kukui Corporation, a developer of marketing software solutions for automotive repair shops, has been named a “Preferred Supplier” of the Automotive Training Institute, one of the industry’s leading coaching and management consulting companies.


As a Preferred Supplier, Kukui will be listed on the ATI website along with other endorsed vendors. In exchange, Kukui will provide special pricing to ATI clients who subscribe to the company’s innovative software platform, which provides detailed data on how many leads a shop owner’s marketing channels are generating.


The company’s product suite also includes smart web pages that are optimized to boost sales conversion rates; a simple-to-use Content Management System that is integrated with a shop’s Point-of-Sale system and customer retention tools such as email service reminders. Kukui will offer ATI clients one month of free access to its platform and will also waive the design fee associated with building new sites.


“Our goal is to provide ATI clients with as many tools as possible to help them assess where to best allocate their marketing resources, so they can drive car count and increase sales,” said Kukui CEO Todd Westerlund.


Since 1980, ATI has been helping shop owners achieve their dreams through honest coaching and integrity. 
 
“Working together, Kukui and ATI can maximize the marketing efforts of their mutual clients by tracking and measuring programs and results,” said ATI’s National Account Manager Jim Silverman.
 

Kukui remains committed to forming alliances with industry leaders and passionately improving technology for the betterment of people and businesses worldwide.
