AutoDealer Plus

The best All-In-One DMS solution out there.

Pluspunten:

The accounting side is dummy proof and simply does not allow for errors. It's great having everything on one platform.

Minpunten:

Lacks integration with other softwares. The CRM is still a work in progress and there is not a desking feature.

Awesome DMS system! Would recommend to anyone.

Opmerkingen: It has allowed our dealership to double in size over the past three years.

Pluspunten:

We have been in business for 23 years, and for most of those years we used Automanager as our DMS. We had Quickbooks for accounting which was always inefficient having to duplicate almost everything from Automanager into Quickbooks. A few years ago I realized Automanager just was not cutting it, and that is was ultimately preventing us from growing. We needed an integrated accounting system to streamline operations, one click printing for all contracts and disclosures, customized reporting, route1 integration, etc. We also have an in house financing company which was growing, but did not have the software to scale. Now we have a web portal where customers can go online to pay (before it was cash or check), automated credit reporting (which was a manual job before), and much more. Without ASN Software we would have had to hire several people simply to manage the data entry and inefficiencies associated with the old software. When we switched to ASN Software we were selling 60 cars a month, and not even three years later we are averaging double that. It certainly would not have been possible without ASN Software. There is so much more that I do not have time to talk about. If you are thinking about switching to ASN Software and would like some advice, feel free to contact me. Jon Hart

Minpunten:

There is really not much that I can think of, because whenever I have a problem they are able to address it. The one thing I would like to see added would be automatic printing of open recall notices for vehicle that have open recalls.

Fits our needs

Opmerkingen: Book keeping is simplified

Pluspunten:

Easy to use custom reports very useful KBB integration is useful MMR values are useful Vehicle Local Market Pricing tool very useful

Minpunten:

Change log not always accurate New updates change user settings ( after updates I need to set my personal preferences) No way to do vehicle purchases from public ( I have to use trade-in paperwork) Trade-in vehicles sometimes get mixed in with vehicles posted online

I have enjoyed working with ASN Software for 8 years as a dealer, a flooring company and a lender.

Pluspunten:

The integration. Just by entering correct information and processing you are making the accounting entries necessary to keep accurate financial statements. Many sources of information (book values, vehicle history reports, etc) are a button away. Processing CC or ACH payments is very easy and one step. Custom reports are available that give you access to the data you need. The constant adding and refining of ADP shows the commitment that ASN Software has to making it easier for my company to do everything we need to do on one platform. They are always happy to hear an idea that would be helpful and many of my suggestions are part of the software today.

Minpunten:

I can't think of Cons, just a fair warning. There can be moments of frustration. It's software and therefore has its limitations and glitches. Your staff must be thorough to see some of the benefits. One must understand what the software can and can't do. The accounting is made so easy for those who know it, but if you don't have an accounting minded staff or great training, your own staff can make mistakes that make more work for you trying to figure out what went wrong. Garbage in, garbage out. A strong accountant who knows their debits from their credits is necessary to really make this product shine.

Helped save our dealership

Opmerkingen: This is Curtis @ Hamilton Auto Sales. I just wanted to send you a message to let you know how much [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] help me and our dealership.
We were facing some really difficult decisions with the Covid-19 pandemic.
[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] actually took the time and did pretty much a 3 way call with our accounting firm to go over all of our options as far as PPP and SBA loans that were available for our dealership.
I am certain she brought him up to speed on a lot of things even he didnt know.
Saying that.......I cant thank [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] enough for all the help she gave me.
I'm pretty sure that was something she didnt have to do !! In closing, I would like to once again say how great she was with all of her knowledge and dedication to making sure that our dealership was up to date with our options for funds. Also, we were able to take advantage of both grants (loans) in our area and I have to think that [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was a big part of that. Thanks to ASN and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] for keeping us a float, Curtis
