DealerInt vs Tekion for Australia Dealers
How DealerInt complements Tekion with decision intelligence. Tailored for australia dealerships running Pentana and major AU platforms.
Tekion is a cloud-native dealer management system that has won significant share from legacy DMS providers. Dealers choose Tekion for its modern architecture, clean UX, and unified platform—sales, F&I, service, and reporting in one system. Who uses Tekion? Forward-looking dealer groups and single-point stores that want to move off CDK or Reynolds without sacrificing functionality. Typical users range from mid-size groups to large franchises. What dealers evaluate when they select Tekion is speed, ease of use, and cloud reliability. Override-level visibility and mandatory reason capture are often not in the initial scope, because Tekion—like every DMS—was built to process transactions and support workflows, not to answer who approved each override and what it cost in margin. This page is for stores already on Tekion that want to add that decision layer without changing their DMS.

FAQ
Does DealerInt replace Tekion?
No. DealerInt works read-only alongside Tekion. It adds override tracking and margin intelligence that Tekion was not designed to provide. Most stores run both: Tekion for DMS, DealerInt for override capture and margin visibility.
Can I use DealerInt if my store already runs Tekion?
Yes. Install the Chrome extension, connect your store in the DealerInt dashboard, and DealerInt starts capturing override decisions immediately. No Tekion configuration or IT work required.
What does Tekion not track that DealerInt does?
Tekion records transactions and deal data. It does not capture who approved a pricing override, what reason was given, or the exact gross margin impact. DealerInt captures all three at the point of override.
