Dealers have found refuge in Deal Pack’s DMS software for years as the Internet’s influence broadens. Whether you’re an independent dealer with buy here pay here operations or a new franchise dealer, technology is affecting the day to day operations of your dealership. According to ADESA, the used vehicle market is valued at almost half a trillion dollars, and it has not stopped growing yet. With the recent recession, more and more consumers are turning to used-vehicles for purchase.

As a dealer, you are primarily concerned about your bottom line. How has new technology impacted your bottom line? Based on research from J.D. Powers & Associates, among all used-vehicle buyers, 36 percent say their make and model decisions were impacted by information found online. Among automotive Internet users, 85 percent say the Internet impacted the price they paid for their vehicle. Dealers cannot continue idle as the Internet technology tsunami strikes with force- they must stay on top of market trends. Still debating on how you’re going to manage your entire inventory while maintaining compliance to all government regulations? Rest assured that technology also provides the opportunity for increased efficiency and peace of mind with new Dealer Management Systems and tools being introduced.
