By Harikrishnan, Founder & Chief Zoho Consultant, Flowpeak · 10+ years in Zoho · Published · Last updated
GCC car dealers use Zoho CRM to capture leads from Dubizzle, Meta, Google and WhatsApp, book test drives, track trade-ins and finance applications, and remind customers about service. Workshops use Zoho Creator for job cards. With Flowpeak, Zoho CRM setup starts from AED 1,850 or SAR 1,900, and Dubizzle integration from AED 1,200.

Used-car showrooms in Ras Al Khor and Sharjah, franchise dealers, rental and leasing companies and workshops across the Gulf get most of their leads from classifieds, social ads and WhatsApp. Without a CRM, fast follow-up depends on who picks up the phone.
