What is dealer management software (DMS)?

Dealer management software connects a dealership's sales, vehicle stock, service workshop, spares and accounts. Stack18 builds it for auto dealers with enquiry and booking tracking, service job cards and reminders for service and insurance renewals, and integrates with OEM systems where interfaces exist.

FAQ

Auto Dealership DMS questions.

Ask us anything
Can it integrate with the OEM's system?

Where the OEM provides an interface, yes. OEM requirements vary, so we confirm in discovery. We confirm versions, plans and API limits during discovery, so there are no surprises on integration day.

Does it cover two-wheelers and commercial vehicles?

Yes. Variants, stock and service flows are configured per vehicle type.

Can customers get service updates on WhatsApp?

Yes, through the official WhatsApp Business API with approved templates. Messages use approved templates and recorded opt-ins, and provider fees are shown upfront.

Can we run several showrooms and workshops?

Yes. Locations have their own stock and job cards, with consolidated reports.

Is it ready-made or custom?

Scoped as custom in a two-week Discovery Sprint with proven CRM and inventory modules reused. We compare both routes with costs in the Discovery Sprint, so you can choose with the numbers in front of you.

How much does auto dealership DMS cost?

Every engagement starts with a fixed-price Discovery Sprint that produces scope, a plan and a quote. Custom work is quoted at a fixed price once the scope is clear. Changes are agreed in writing before they are built, so the price you approve is the price you pay.

How do you measure success for auto dealership DMS?

In week one we agree a baseline for enquiry-to-booking rate, job card turnaround and spares availability. We report them at every weekly demo and review them against the baseline 30 days after go-live, so results are measured rather than assumed.

What should we prepare before the first call?

Bring a short description of how auto dealership DMS works today, examples of the documents or screens your team uses, and the three numbers that matter most to you. A senior specialist will use them to outline a first step and a fixed price.
