“Partnerships are very important to TK because we have always focused on what we do best – websites and SEO,” commented Richard Valenta, TK Carsites President & CEO. “We try to not do everything ourselves which is why we seek to align ourselves with industry leaders such as HomeNet. Dealers know that HomeNet has the top inventory solution and we want our customers to have the very best.”

TK customers have been utilizing HomeNet’s Inventory Online (IOL) marketing suite to get, edit, and deliver their vehicle inventory for over two years. Previously, dealers would manage website content and inventory data from two separate web-based systems. The new integration will streamline this process, giving dealers the ability to seamlessly update both their website and their inventory via a single sign-on platform. This eliminates the need to maintain two user accounts, saving the dealer valuable time in which to spend communicating with prospective buyers.

“TK provides a very compelling, full-service marketing system for dealers that is well-positioned to increase its market share,” stated HomeNet CEO Jesse Biter. “HomeNet is privileged to work with such a fantastic partner and we are very pleased to offer the enhanced IOL integration. We look forward to serving the inventory needs for TK’s customers for many years to come.”
