That suite includes a CRM platform that includes desking and service tool, its DealerFire website builder and digital marketing solution, Precise Price digital retailing platform, Revenue Radar equity mining tool, Inventory+ inventory management system, and its DMS for the independent market (iDMS).

“DealerSocket has always been focused on helping dealers succeed in a rapidly-changing industry,” said DealerSocket co-founder and chief product officer Brad Perry. “The way customers interact with dealerships has evolved significantly in the last 17 years, and I’m proud of how DealerSocket continues to innovate and enhance our software products to meet the needs of our customers.”
