Is Flyntlok really cloud-based?

Yes. Flyntlok was built from scratch on Google Cloud as one platform that every dealer shares. You sign in from a web browser on any computer, tablet, or phone. There's no server at your dealership, and no remote desktop or VPN.

What's the difference between cloud-native and hosted?

Hosted software is an older system installed on a server in someone else's data center, usually reached through a remote desktop, a VPN, or an installed app, and upgraded dealer by dealer. Cloud-native software like Flyntlok is built to run in the browser on one shared platform, so every dealer is on the same version and gets every update.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Flyntlok runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone, with no plugins and no VPN.

How often does Flyntlok update, and does it cost extra?

About every two weeks, with public release notes for each one. Updates reach every dealer the same day at no extra cost, and there's no upgrade project to schedule. Flyntlok has shipped 148 releases since January 2021.

Flyntlok's 8/8 Support Guarantee means a response in 8 minutes and the problem solved in 8 hours. When Flyntlok Unlocked Ep.4 was recorded in June 2026, tickets were closing in about 4.75 hours on average. You submit and track tickets inside Flyntlok, and each one captures the page you were on and the steps that led there.

Can my team use Flyntlok on phones and tablets?

Yes. Flyntlok runs in the browser on tablets and phones, and Flyntlok Mobile lets techs clock in, request parts, add photos, record Tech Notes, and check out at the machine. Salespeople can look up customers, leads, and machines and log calls from a phone.

Does Flyntlok work across multiple locations?

Yes. Every location works in the same live data, so you can see stock at every store, move parts and machines between locations, and run reports by location. White's Tractor runs four Bobcat stores on Flyntlok, and TraxPlus runs five SANY locations.

How does Flyntlok protect my data?

Flyntlok runs on Google Cloud, not on a server in your building. You can require a one-time code by email or text at sign-in, set permissions by role, and use audit logs to see who changed what. Data your dealership puts into Flyntlok AI stays inside Flyntlok and is never shared with other dealers, used to train models for competitors, or sold.

What does Flyntlok connect to?

Flyntlok connects to 12 OEMs, including John Deere, Kubota, Bobcat, Hitachi, Volvo, and PACCAR, and keeps 400+ price files current for you. It also connects to QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, and Xero for accounting, to Samsara, Motive, Volvo, and Hitachi telematics, and to Gravity Payments, Shopify, and Aurora Parts.

Is Flyntlok AI included?

Yes. Smart Receive, Smart Tech Notes, AI Review, and Smart Campaigns are live and come with every Flyntlok account at no extra cost. Texting costs for Smart Campaigns depend on your dealership's needs.

Cloud-based dealer management system

The Cloud DMS That Keeps Up With Your Dealership

Why it matters

Your dealership doesn't sit at one desk. Your DMS shouldn't either.

Owners check numbers from home, techs work at the machine, and parts move between stores all day. Software built around one server room makes each of those harder. Flyntlok was built in the cloud, so the whole dealership works on one live system, wherever the work happens.

“Being delivered on the Google cloud and truly built from the ground up by the Flyntlok team was critical in our selection process.”

Nick Jacobs, Sr. Director of Finance & Operations, STS Truck & Trailer, on choosing a DMS

6:55 am in the front office

The doors open in five minutes, and the GM wants yesterday's numbers from every store.

Cloud-native, not hosted

Built in the cloud. Not moved there.

Plenty of DMS “cloud” is older software on a server the vendor runs, reached through a remote desktop, a VPN, or an installed app. Flyntlok was built from scratch on Google Cloud as one platform every dealer shares. Open a browser, sign in, and you're on the newest version, the same one every other Flyntlok dealer runs.

Any browser, any device
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. No plugins, no VPN, no remote desktop.
One version for every dealer
Every dealer runs on the same platform, so a fix or feature built for one dealer reaches them all.
Built from scratch on Google Cloud
Not an older system lifted onto a server and given a login page.
No upgrade projects
New releases show up on their own. Nothing to schedule, install, or pay extra for.
No server to buy or replace
Nothing in the back room to patch, upgrade, or replace when it ages out.
Room to grow
Add users and locations without new hardware. Big reports run on their own back end, so they don't slow down the counter.

Product updatesEvery 2 weeks

New features every two weeks. Nothing to install.

Flyntlok ships a new release about every two weeks, and it reaches every dealer the same day. There's no upgrade project to schedule, no version left behind, and no bill for the update. Each release comes with public, dated release notes that name the developer behind each change.

8/8 Support Guarantee

Support that answers in minutes, not days.

The 8/8 Support Guarantee: a response in 8 minutes and the problem solved in 8 hours. Tickets go in from inside Flyntlok with the page you were on and the steps that got you there, so support starts on the fix, not on questions.

Response in 8 minutes
A real person with an answer you can act on, not an automated reply.

When Ep.4 was recorded in June 2026, tickets were closing in about 4.75 hours on average.
Tickets from inside Flyntlok
Flyntlok captures the page you were on and the steps leading up to the issue, so you don't have to explain it twice.

Follow progress, read every reply, and respond without leaving Flyntlok.

Developers start with answers
An internal AI tool investigates incoming tickets first, so developers start from findings, not a blank screen.

“The ability to see that sales summary report with the different locations… I look at it nearly daily. It's a breath of fresh air, because that was impossible before.”

Chris Weems, Dealer Principal and Owner, TraxPlus, on seeing every location

11:15 am on a jobsite

The road tech needs a filter that isn't on the truck. Which store has one?

Any location, any device

Every store. Every device. One live system.

Every location works in the same live data. The counter sees what's on every store's shelf, managers see every store's numbers, and techs and salespeople take Flyntlok into the field on their phones.

Stock at every store
Search once and see what's on hand at every location, then transfer it to the store that needs it.
Numbers by location, live
Sales, service, and inventory by store as they happen, not in next month's spreadsheet.
Flyntlok Mobile for techs
Clock in, request parts, add photos, record Tech Notes, and check out from a phone.
Customers and leads on the road

OEM and partner integrations

Connected to the brands you carry.

Because Flyntlok lives online, it connects straight to the systems your brands and partners already run. It links to 12 OEMs, keeps 400+ price files current for you, and pulls in telematics, accounting, and payments, so nobody retypes what another system already knows.

Flyntlok AI

AI reaches every dealer the day it ships.

Because every dealer runs on one platform, a new AI tool doesn't need a separate app, a new login, or a waitlist. Four Flyntlok AI tools are live today, and they come with every account.

Security and access

Protected without a server room.

Your data lives on Google Cloud, not on a server in the back office. Flyntlok adds two-step sign-in, permissions by role, and logs that show who changed what, so you decide who sees what.

Built on Google Cloud
Your dealership's data runs on Google Cloud infrastructure, not a box in the back room.
Two-step sign-in
Require a one-time code by email or text at sign-in, which helps meet cyber insurance requirements.
Permissions by role
Limit who can edit machines, change work orders, or adjust labor, and the same rules apply on mobile.
Logs that show who changed what
Audit logs on work orders, sales orders, rental contracts, and machine costs show who did what, and when.
Your data trains no one else's AI
What your dealership puts into Flyntlok AI stays inside Flyntlok. It's never shared with other dealers, used to train models for competitors, or sold.
Your records aren't on the counter PC
Flyntlok runs in the browser, so a broken or stolen counter PC doesn't take your records with it.

Before you buy

Five questions to ask any DMS vendor about the cloud.

Plenty of vendors say “cloud” now. These five questions show whether you're getting a platform built for it, or older software running on someone else's server.

Do we sign in from a web browser, or through a remote desktop, VPN, or installed app?

A remote desktop or VPN usually means older software on a hosted server, with extra logins and screens that weren't built for a phone.

A web browser on any computer, tablet, or phone. No remote desktop, no VPN, and nothing to install.

Is every dealer on the same version?

When each dealer runs its own copy, upgrades turn into projects and some dealers fall behind.

Yes. Every Flyntlok dealer runs on one shared platform and gets every release.

How often do you ship updates, and where are the notes?

A system that changes once or twice a year can't keep up with your season.

About every two weeks, with public release notes. That's 148 releases since January 2021.

How fast does support answer, and is there a standard?

When an invoice won't post, a ticket that waits a day costs you a day.

The 8/8 Support Guarantee: a response in 8 minutes and the problem solved in 8 hours.

Is the AI live today, and is it included?

AI on a road map, or sold per user, doesn't help this season.

Yes and yes. Four AI tools are live, and they come with every Flyntlok account.

Customer story

White's Tractor, Bobcat dealer

Three systems out. One cloud platform in.

White's Tractor ran parts and service, rental, and sales on three systems that didn't talk to each other. Now four Bobcat stores share one cloud platform, a daily courier moves parts where they're needed, and support cases often get a response within 15 minutes.

“I've never used a system where you get an answer or a resolution to a problem that quickly.”

Who's behind it

Built by a former dealer. Kept current every two weeks.

Flyntlok was designed inside Craig Taylor Equipment, an Alaska dealership that ran on a green-screen IBM system when founder Sean McLaughlin bought it. A $36 million growth investment from Mainsail Partners in 2025 added developers and support, and dealers help steer each release through office hours with the people who build it.
