A dealer management system in plain terms is a software platform dealers use to manage their dealership. Often you will encounter the widely used acronym ‘DMS’ most commonly used for a Dealer Management System; however in some cases DMS refers to dealer management software, dealer management solution or dealer management service.
Dealer management systems enable a dealership to perform all the day to day functions their dealership encounters from sales operations, financing operations, service operations and more; it is important that all these functions of a dealership work together.
With a DMS, dealers can improve each facet of their business through combining all the tools you need into a single platform. With all the daily transactions your dealership encounters in one place, you can more easily run your business. You no longer need to log-in to separate solutions to manage your inventory, create point of sale invoices, view service history or follow-up on leads.
Through the software integrations available with a DMS, dealers can manage their entire business in one cloud-based dealership software application allowing business owners to more easily monitor all dealership operations and see the big picture more clearly. The integrations built into the software allows for a streamlined, easy to use exchange of information between all the operational areas of your dealership running through your software.
Your success depends on all departments of your dealership. A dealer management system helps you achieve your goals by creating an effective and cooperative way for departments to communicate, interact and stay informed with transactions happening within other areas of the dealership. A good DMS will save you money, improve the efficiency of your business operations, all while improving the customer experience at your dealership.
When you look across the market at the different dealer management systems available to your business, you will see that a lot of systems provide similar functionality. The question you need to be asking yourself when choosing which DMS to go with is, “Will this company provide me the support and service I would expect?”
