How Bolt-Ons Are Hurting Dealers

Rising Costs

Supplementing a DMS with bolt-on point solutions from multiple vendors can send your costs skyrocketing. Average monthly expense, including DMS and 10–15 additional bolt-ons: nearly $30K per month.*

Broken Workflows

Since bolt-on point solutions aren’t integrated into the overall system, they often break workflows. This causes employees to swivel from task to task, lowering productivity and operational efficiency.

Dealership Turnover

Unproductive work environments create employee frustration. That’s tied to massive turnover: dealerships had to replace 1/3 of their employees in 2022.**
