DealerInt vs Reynolds & Reynolds for New Zealand Dealers
How DealerInt complements Reynolds & Reynolds ERA and POWER with decision capture. Tailored for new zealand dealerships running Pentana and major NZ platforms.
Reynolds & Reynolds has been a cornerstone of automotive DMS for decades. ERA, POWER, and related F&I and compliance tools run in thousands of dealerships across North America. Who uses Reynolds? Typically franchise and independent dealers who want a proven, full-service DMS with deep accounting, service, and parts capability. Reynolds is the backbone of the deal for many large groups and single-point stores. What dealers evaluate when they choose Reynolds is reliability, support, and OEM compliance. Override-level visibility and margin decision capture are usually not in scope—Reynolds was built to record transactions and support workflows, not to answer who approved each override and what it cost in gross. This page is for stores already on Reynolds that want to add that layer without replacing or disrupting their DMS.

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