The Procede Insider Program is a cornerstone of the company's user-centered design strategy. Procede says it is one of several formal and informal, foundational practices Procede has put in place to ensure it is listening to its customers and continuously delivering platform advancements in the areas of greatest impact. Dealerships that participate in the program contribute to the development of the Excede product roadmap and provide input and feedback on new products, features, and enhancements. The Insider Program played a pivotal role in the development of Excede v10.4, with dealerships of all sizes representing every major OEM participating in alpha and beta trials, the company says.
Eric Liddell, vice president of Product Architecture, says "By working closely with Procede Insiders we were able to incorporate their combined expertise into this latest version of Excede and prioritize the enhancements that will drive their businesses and the industry forward." Liddell continued, "The feedback from dealerships that participated in the trials has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are excited to get it into the hands of every one of our customers."
