Kathryn Schifferle, Founder and now Chief Vision Officer of Work Truck Solutions (WTS) walked the audience through an abbreviated history of why she founded WTS in 2012 to help dealers serve business customers better. Kathryn also offered sincere thanks to the members of the NWFTA for their support as WTS was just getting up and running. She also shared new technologies recently launched such as VAST (Vehicle Acquisition Search Tool) designed to help dealers find used commercial inventory to help their customers get through this difficult inventory time, plus EZOrder and CVShowroom which together offer business shoppers a way to view, select and order vehicles that are not in stock at their dealership.
