Hi all

Can I interest anyone into trialling our DMS?

Fully featured beyond any of the competitors (a huge claim I know, but it really is!)

No commitment. Would love some feedback and happy to provide promotional pricing if you wish to use long term.


Our unique 'quick actions' automation feature (type and vrn from any page and jump to booking test drives, uploading photos / QR code uploads, updating account information and absolutely anything within a click or two!
 
You're playing in some deep murky waters hunting for a test dealer on a DMS system. Who do you view as your competition?
I wouldn't say we are looking to compete with anyone in particular. Volumes are not the key here as the business model and vision isn't just a service provider.

We're looking to create a network. Work closely with 'partners' ie dealers we onboard. Support them with process optimisation and growth. The tech is one cog.
oh oh... :oops:. MS + Free Trial =:popcorn:
have I stumbled in on a joke that nobody's sharing?
 
Okay. Fair point.
Built for the UK market. Plenty of automation of tasks (don't confuse with with ai). All of autotrader connect functionality, plus:

Outlook email and calendar connectivity / sync with the DMS
Google email and calendar sync
Test drives within a few clicks
QR code photo uploads
A full parts inventory with catalogue and stock tracking
Workshop module to book in cars, add in jobs, notes to technicians and advisories to customers - single click pdf invoice generated
Quick actions - a button press to launch a window > type the reg, dynamic options based on whether in stock or not ie mot history, vehicle checks, valuations, a button to take you to a costs entry - margins etc all worked out for you. Every type of report perfectly rendered in csv or pdf. Brochures.. Staff time sheets with expenses, pay rate / hours calculations..

That's just off the top of my head
 
Free trial matters, but on a DMS the bigger question is whether the workflow, pricing, support standard, and data migration path are brutally clear before anyone burns a day in demos. This is deep-water software. If the implementation and support plan are fuzzy, the demo does not mean much.

✨ AI Highlights

  • A vendor calling themselves DMS_LEAD posted to solicit UK dealers for a free trial of their new dealership management system, pitching features like QR photo uploads, workshop modules, and AutoTrader Connect integration.
  • Experienced forum members quickly pushed back, noting that displacing a DMS is notoriously difficult — even well-funded players like Tekion have struggled — and questioned the vendor's competitive positioning and implementation readiness.
  • The key takeaway from the community: a feature list and free trial mean little without a clear support plan, pricing structure, and data migration path for what is among the most operationally critical software a dealership runs.
