Low Cost Benefits that Will Retain Your Dealership Staff
The right workplace culture is just as important to your employees as a regular paycheck. Implementing a few of these low-cost benefits will help you create a company culture worth working for.
Innovations Are More Than Great Ideas
Most DMS users aren’t looking for bells and whistles; they are looking to solve business problems and don’t know how to describe their problem—that’s our job.
Stay Ahead of the Competition
Competition makes the world go ’round. You can either be behind or ahead of it, and if you forget to pay attention to it, your competition completely passes you by.
Is Your Technology Keeping Up with the Trends?
Fortunately, the technology door swings both ways. While ignoring changes in technology can be disastrous, embracing them can unlock the promise of better connections with customers, information, and the state of the industry.

Fixed Operations – A Great Way to Step Up Your Game
In times when consumer demand dips or plateaus, it’s important to rely on the other, more literal tools of your trade. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to invest in fixed operations.
Who Runs Your Dealership, You or Your DMS?
Don’t fall for a DMS that tries to sell itself on standalone features. Insist on integration. The benefits of connecting platforms—including data ownership, reduced data access fees, open vendor selection, and seamless software communication—are already providing many dealerships with a major competitive advantage.
