Portland, OR – Chrome Data Solutions, LP, a leader in automotive data, today announces its business relationship with Impel, the premium provider of interactive merchandising software for the automotive sector, to deliver a 360-degree vehicle rotation platform. The platform allows online shoppers to take any vehicle for a spin from anywhere and at any time, while a unique analytics component tracks a shopper’s movement and monitors interactions with “hotspot” photos for personalized, effective lead follow-up.
