Dealer Management System (DMS)
A Dealer Management System (DMS) is the core operating software used by auto dealerships to manage sales, service, parts, and accounting operations.
A Dealer Management System (DMS) is the central software platform that auto dealerships use to manage all core business operations, including vehicle sales processing, service and repair orders, parts inventory, accounting, and reporting. Leading DMS platforms include CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, Tekion, DealerSocket, and DealerTrack. While a DMS records all transactions, it does not natively capture why pricing decisions were made — a gap that dealer intelligence platforms like DealerInt fill.
