Empowering Automotive CRM and Dealership Management System (DMS)

We help in modernizing automotive CRM, dealership management systems with new features, 3rd Party Integrations and robust Cloud Infrastructure

Components of a Car Dealership Management Software

Car dealership software is an Automotive CRM managing all aspects of dealership operations, including sales, inventory, finance, customer relationship management, service scheduling, parts management, and accounting.

Inventory Management keeps track of vehicle stock, from incoming inventory to the sales floor and beyond. Integrated with the Dealer Management System (DMS), it includes detailed records of vehicle identification numbers (VINs), make, model, trim level, color, options condition and location.

This module facilitates the collection, processing, and evaluation of customer creditworthiness. It integrates with various dealership departments including sales, finance and compliance.
The software often includes features like pre-qualification checks, co-applicant information, employment verification and income validation.

Lead management focuses on capturing, nurturing, and converting potential customers into sales.

Utilizing an Automotive CRM, it involves tracking customer interactions across various channels, enabling dealerships to qualify leads based on factors like interest level, vehicle preference, and budget

User onboarding is designed to guide new users through the system. It includes interactive tutorials, guided walkthroughs, and contextual help features. The goal is to minimize the learning curve, increase user adoption, and make sure that the users quickly leverage the software’s capabilities to enhance their daily tasks. 

A connected CRM centralizes customer data, tracking interactions from initial inquiry to post-sale service. This unified view helps sales teams with insights into customer preferences, purchase history and communication history for personalized interactions and efficient follow-ups.

Dashboards visualize key metrics such as sales figures, inventory levels, customer demographics, and financial health.

Through interactive dashboards, dealerships easily track daily, weekly, or monthly performance, identify trends, and measure the effectiveness of sales and marketing campaigns.

3rd Party Platform Integration

We build and maintain APIs for seamless integration with various platforms for real-time data synchronization between the dealership software (both SaaS and dealer-owned) and third-party services.

Modernizing Car Dealership Software

We modernize car dealership software to drive efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction. Our solutions seamlessly integrate with your existing systems for valuable insights.

Multi-tenancy and Customization

We enhance and build multi-tenancy architecture for SaaS platforms and customize user interfaces and experiences based on individual dealership needs. Multi-tenancy allows multiple dealerships to share a single software instance, reducing costs and improving scalability. By implementing multi-tenancy, an existing software can be transformed into a cloud-based solution accessible to various dealerships. Our approach not only isolates and secures data for each tenant but also adapts the software's features and layout to align with the unique workflows and branding of each dealership.

Adding Packages and Modules

Modules represent self-contained units of code that encapsulate specific functionalities within a package.Modernization efforts can benefit from breaking down monolithic modules into smaller, more focused ones. This modular approach promotes code reusability, testability and independent development.For example, converting the customer relationship management module into smaller modules for customer data, interactions and preferences can improve software flexibility and adaptability.

Automation

By incorporating automation into an existing system, dealerships are able streamline repetitive tasks, reduce human error, and enhance efficiency.Processes such as lead generation, inventory management, customer follow-ups, and appointment scheduling can be automated, freeing up staff to focus on higher-value activities.

UI/UX

Modernizing the UI/UX involves redesigning screens, optimizing layouts, and implementing intuitive interactions.This transformation will not only improve user experience but also align the software with contemporary design standards, making it more engaging and user-friendly for both dealership staff and customers.

DevOps

Modernizing car dealership software with DevOps practices streamlines development and operations. By automating deployment pipelines and implementing CI/CD, software releases become faster and more reliable.DevOps enhances collaboration between teams, reduces deployment times, and minimizes errors, leading to more stable software. It also enables better monitoring and issue resolution, improving software quality and performance.Overall, DevOps integration boosts efficiency and responsiveness, ensuring the dealership software can adapt quickly to changing requirements.

Codebase Upgrade

Modernizing an existing car dealership software often reveals accumulated technical debt. This refers to inefficient or outdated code impacting maintainability, scalability, and performance. A codebase upgrade systematically addresses these issues, improving code quality, readability, and structure. By refactoring code, standardizing practices, and adopting modern development methodologies, the upgrade enhances the software's long-term viability, reduces development time, and lays a solid foundation for future enhancements and integrations
