Questions to bring to both vendor demos

These questions are based on the documented catalog signals above. They are not verified product test results or dealer endorsements. Ask both vendors to show the workflows in your actual dealership environment.

  1. Ask both vendors to demonstrate Schedule service appointments using the same dealership scenario.

    A shared catalog label doesn't establish the depth, configuration, or quality of either workflow.

  2. Ask Affinitiv Book to show Identify service-to-sales and equity opportunities, then ask Xtime how it addresses the same need.

    This difference comes from currently documented catalog labels. Missing documentation is not proof a competitor lacks a feature.

  3. Ask Xtime to show Manage repair orders, then ask Affinitiv Book how it addresses the same need.

    Request a live workflow and clarify which capabilities are standard, optional, or require integrations.

  4. Request a dealership-specific implementation and integration walkthrough from both vendors.

    Confirm required integrations, migration work, permissions, training, support, and ongoing costs directly with each vendor.
