What is a dealer management system?
A dealer management system (DMS) is the software an equipment dealership runs its business on. It combines parts inventory, service work orders, equipment sales, rental contracts, CRM, and accounting into one system so staff do not re-enter the same data in multiple places.
Who are these insights written for?
Dealership owners, general managers, and department managers at outdoor power equipment, heavy equipment, agriculture, and commercial vehicle dealers, from single-location shops to multi-store groups evaluating a move off a legacy DMS.
