DealerInt vs PBS Systems for Europe Dealers
How DealerInt adds margin intelligence to PBS Systems DMS for Canadian dealers. Tailored for europe dealerships running Keyloop and major EU platforms.
PBS Systems has been serving Canadian dealerships since 1988. The v10 APEX platform provides modular components for service, accounting, parts, sales, CRM, and digital engagement. Who uses PBS? Canadian franchise and independent dealers from single-point stores in Alberta to multi-rooftop groups spanning Ontario and British Columbia. PBS provides the DMS foundation that Canadian dealers rely on for vehicle sales, service, parts, and accounting. Its Canadian-first approach—bilingual support, provincial tax handling, and local finance integrations—has made it a natural choice. What dealers evaluate when they select PBS is reliability, Canadian market fit, and support. Override-level visibility and margin decision capture are typically not in scope—PBS was built to run the dealership, not to answer who approved each override and what it cost in gross. This page is for stores already on PBS that want to add that layer without replacing their DMS.

FAQ
Does DealerInt replace PBS Systems?
No. DealerInt works read-only alongside PBS Systems. It adds override tracking and margin intelligence that PBS was not designed to provide. Most stores run both: PBS for DMS and operations, DealerInt for override capture and margin visibility.
Can I use DealerInt if my store already runs PBS?
Yes. Install the Chrome extension, connect your store in the DealerInt dashboard, and DealerInt starts capturing override decisions immediately. No PBS integration or IT work required. Works across Canadian provinces.
What does PBS Systems not track that DealerInt does?
PBS 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.
