They need one sales platform that creates collaboration and imrpoves efficiencies. Vendors acquiring other vendors doesn't necessarily create that. They end up owning a bunch of companies and tools that still don't work together.

Unless of course, the goal of the acquisition is integration. The purchasing of companies or softwares should allow the buyer to rebuilt, reshape and mold it so that it fits perfectly into their existing platform with seamless integration...and with an end-goal in mind.

Purchasing just for the sake of increased market share or revenue isn't a long-term approach. So Matt, if that's what you are referring to, then I agree.

# Summary The thread discusses industry consolidation trends in automotive dealership technology, with participants debating whether vendors acquiring competitors actually benefits dealers by integrating disparate tools into cohesive platforms. While there was optimism about CRM and website providers consolidating services in 2010, the key insight is that vendor consolidation through acquisitions doesn't automatically translate to better dealer efficiency unless the acquired companies are properly integrated into a single, unified platform rather than remaining as separate tools.
