Dealer Management System (DMS)
Definition for new zealand automotive professionals.
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.
