Beyond the DMS
Time for a New Category of Dealership Software
To improve operations and exceed consumer demands, dealers need the CDK Dealership Xperience — because bolt-on point solutions have done more harm than good.
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.1
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 2022.2
