Car dealer software, also known as dealership management systems (DMS), includes products that assist in the operations of automobile retailers. These products can assist with both front- and back-office tasks and may provide tools for inventory, cost calculation, financing, and authorization—for both cars and customers (e.g., credit reports, accident history, etc.). Car dealer software tools can also offer features for preparing, tracking, and storing warranty information, sales contracts, auto repairs, appraisals, and recurring e-payments. Car dealer products are typically used by the sales team and office administrators in new or used car dealerships. Car dealer solutions may integrate with or offer features of billing software, inventory management software, website builder software, or CRM software.
To qualify for inclusion in the Car Dealer category, a product must:
- Provide tools for managing car dealerships such as vehicle inventory, customer authorization, and sales floor assistance
