Welcome to Your News

In the pages that follow, we will only provide the facts, news, and the stories that are relevant to to you. ALL these articles are by industry leaders, specialist or consultants. Take the time to visit their web sites and review their articles. This service is FREE.
If you are looking for DMS providers, please keep in mind that if we do not have any information on a particular provider, that is because no one has provided us with the information. We may list the small providers, but we do not track them unless we are sent information on them. This is YOUR information, be it from the provider or the users.
We also do not report on applications. So if you are looking for a Parts System, Service System, F&I System or Accounting System, YOU HAVE MISSED THE BOAT! A Solid Partner offers solutions that can increase profits and reduce your expenses not only in the expected (core) applications, but in all areas of the dealership. You want a partner that is focused on the YOUR business, partners with the OE's and is driven to helping you succeed.

Use and Conditions
Yourdmsprovider is not liable for any information that is published on this site. We do not create it, it is created by individuals that use, license or have experience with the Dealer Management System listed. If there is an article that you, the provider, disagrees with, you can contact us and provide us with documented proof that the information is incorrect. At which time, we will add your comments to the published information. Content can only be retracted if the user has retracted it. So if anyone has a problem with the information listed, you need to go after the source, not us. We are only the medium of delivery.
Looking for a partner is not as easy as going to a DEMO. All demo's look great, they are designed to be perfect. In fact, every provider will focus on their strengths, what you need to find is if you can live with the weaknesses.

Everyone says that they have CRM! but what really is CRM?
Customer relationship management is a broadly recognized, widely-implemented strategy for managing and nurturing a company’s interactions with clients and sales prospects.
The overall goals are to find, attract, and win new clients, nurture and retain those the company already has, entice former clients back into the fold, and reduce the costs of marketing and client service.
A reasonably good CRM system must use technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes to automate your sales force, provide multi-channel marketing tools, provide integrated customer support tools, generate RELIVENT Analytics, and it must be integrated. Most importantly, CRM is NOT software, it is a STRATEGY that involves people!
