The automotive industry’s trusted data and technology provider, automotiveMastermind, has announced a strategic integration partnership with CarNow, marking another significant step in their mission to enhance the consumer experience for dealership partners. Over the past 15 months, automotiveMastermind has established a proven track record with over a dozen strategic integration partnerships, including notable names like Reynolds & Reynolds, Tekion, Elead / CDK, and Dealer Socket. These collaborations have consistently enhanced Mastermind’s functionality, providing automotive dealers with personalized insights and customer engagement opportunities.

The partnership with CarNow allows automotiveMastermind to strengthen its position further as a comprehensive service and platform offering real-time actionable insights to drive dealer operations. By integrating with CarNow’s digital retailing suite, Mastermind gains access to enhanced tracking capabilities, enabling better detection of customer activity and extraction of relevant customer information. This, in turn, supports proactive engagement and hyper-personalized marketing strategies targeted at the most qualified customers.

Moreover, this strategic integration addresses the evolving consumer shopping behaviors by connecting Mastermind with dealers’ existing operational systems. Aaron Baldwin, chief product officer at automotiveMastermind, emphasizes the significance of this partnership in modernizing the consumer shopping journey through first-party data and heightened connectivity. He notes that in today’s competitive automotive retail landscape, such functionalities are no longer optional but essential to staying ahead.

The integration between Mastermind and CarNow populates the latter with Mastermind data, facilitating an easy navigational pathway to purchase for dealership sales teams when engaging specific customers. Furthermore, leveraging Mastermind predictive models within CarNow’s online vehicle sales workflows enhances the accuracy in predicting customer preferences, motivating purchases, and optimizing marketing strategies.

John Lilly, chief product officer at CarNow, expresses excitement about integrating Mastermind’s personalized and predictive insights into their platform to elevate both the consumer shopping experience and the dealer salesperson experience. This collaboration is expected to result in a measurable increase in the quality of conversations between dealers and car shoppers, enhancing overall customer satisfaction. The new functionality resulting from the CarNow integration will become available for dealer partners using Mastermind later this year.

Stellantis to prioritize four core brands in turnaround strategy, sources say The automaker plans to shift funding toward Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat while maintaining its broader portfolio. On the Dash: Expect increased product investment and marketing support for Jeep, Ram, Peugeot and Fiat. Regional and niche brands may see reduced volume but more targeted positioning and shared platforms. Platform-sharing and rebadging strategies could affect inventory mix and model differentiation. Stellantis will concentrate most of its investment on four core brands as CEO Antonio Filosa pushes a turnaround strategy set for release May 21, according to a Reuters exclusive. The automaker has identified Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, and Fiat as its priority brands. It will allocate a “material increase” in funding to them, driven by their stronger global sales and profitability, marking a shift away from the company’s previous approach of distributing investment more evenly across its portfolio.

Stellantis will retain its 14-brand lineup, the largest in the industry, and will not shut down underperforming marques. Instead, the company will reposition secondary brands such as Citroën, Opel and Alfa Romeo to operate in regional or niche roles. These brands will rely on shared platforms and technology developed by the core brands while maintaining distinct styling and market identity. The strategy comes as Stellantis works to regain market share in the United States and Europe while facing growing competition from Chinese EV makers. The company earlier reported a 22.2 billion-euro charge tied to scaling back its EV plans, underscoring the urgency of the strategic shift. Its market valuation has also declined significantly in recent months. To support the transition, Stellantis will expand its use of shared “multi-energy” platforms that support electric, hybrid and internal combustion (ICE) vehicles. Additionally, the company is evaluating rebadging strategies and joint development programs, including collaborations with its Chinese partner, Leapmotor. Executives and investors backing the plan expect the increased focus on core brands to improve efficiency and strengthen financial performance. Analysts say Stellantis could still consider further consolidation if results fall short of expectations.
