Software

For most dealers the software on which their company operates begins as an accounting and inventory necessity and grows with the company.

The links below will take you to providers recognized as industry leaders in developing dealer management system software. Most offer a “module” approach to the software package. You can purchase only the applications that suit your current needs, with the flexibility to add additional features as your business grows.

It is worth noting that when evaluating what may best suit your needs that not all of these companies “modules” will include the same elements. Sales and F&I features will vary from company to company for example. Training, technical support and overall cost are also important. (Will you pay extra for programming forms when the need arises? How will training new employees be accomplished? How are system failures handled?)

RAINMAKER SOFTWARE, INC.

The best kept secret here has to be Rainmaker. They’ve been quietly delivering a great product at a great price for more than 25 years. The software, training, and tech. support are all outstanding. (If a live person on the phone matters, these are the folks to call.)

In addition to the full scale providers shown above there are specialized products available as well. Automotive Arts has been providing a wonderful deal desking package at a very reasonable price since 1986. Again, the support is outstanding.
