Dealer management software for independent auto dealerships

About DealerCenter

DealerCenter is a cloud-based, centralized dealer management system designed to support the day-to-day operations of independent automobile dealerships - including both new and used car lots. Supported by mobile integration with native DealerCenter and DealerCenter mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms, staff can oversee car sales remotely from the forecourt or auction house. Key features include inventory management for recording and reviewing vehicle stocks, running reports and managing costs while querying car histories via AutoCheck, NMVTIS and Carfax integrations. The AutoStructure feature supports desking actions with automated loan calculations and deal structuring, leveraging dual-channel lender management tools and contract / documents management to centralize sales paperwork.

Accounting support is provided through direct QuickBooks integration that eliminates duplicate data entries and offers RFC management for Buy-Here-Pay-Here (BHPH), alongside scheduled reporting options. Coupled credit bureau services give access to consumer credit checks while promising compliance around every transaction, with fraud protection and authentication measures built in. Additional DealerCenter features span website promotion and marketing functions, inviting the customization of professionally-styled dealer websites from templates and the online posting of adverts listing inventory vehicles to third-party channels such as AutoTrader, eBay Motors, TRUECar and Craigslist.
