Recently, I was asked by Jennifer Sanford, our director of strategic marketing, if dealerships used a checklist when comparing Dealer Management Systems. With NADA historically acting as the beginning of the DMS vetting season for many dealerships, it’s a good idea to update the recommendations we make to our readers for DominionACCESS. Finding the perfect DMS system is critical for every dealership. With many different features to check for, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. What should dealers consider when choosing their DMS provider?

Download the complete checklist here. Even though F&I systems have many things in common, it is often the unique features that separate these systems for automotive dealers. If you find this checklist helpful, please stop by Booth #: 2123 C at NADA 2016. We will provide additional free checklists for the Accounting, Service, and Parts departments so you can be prepared for the upcoming DMS season. 

In addition to DominionACCESS, the DominionDMX® F&I system is workflow-driven and can easily be customized to work with a dealership’s current sales process. The user interface is familiar and easy-to-use because the entire system is built on Microsoft technology. Prompts help a dealership’s sales staff move through the sales cycle more efficiently, and the built-in deal validation minimizes errors along the way.
