## DealerBuilt Reviews
  ### 1. Light year

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2018

**What do you like best about DealerBuilt?**

I like how light year separates my account finances from the other employees finances  automatically. When we were using Dealer track we would have to separate our numbers everyday manually. 

**What do you dislike about DealerBuilt?**

I do not like how you have to press so many different buttons to complete a task. Windows are also constantly popping everytime I click on a new section then I have to close them all out. The system also runs a bit slow. 


**Recommendations to others considering DealerBuilt:**

Yes

**What problems is DealerBuilt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It’s a lot easier to close out my finances at the end of the day. There’s a lot less steps then I had to complete before.
