DealerSocket Reaches Major Milestone
The technology firm this week announced that more than 100 million vehicles have been sold through its software platforms since the company was founded out of the garage of co-founders Brad Perry and Jonathan Ord.

DALLAS, TX, October 1, 2018 — DealerSocket Inc. reached a major milestone this week. The 17-year-old software maker announced that more than 100 million vehicles have been sold through its software platforms since its founding.
“DealerSocket has helped facilitate 100 million sales, and we’re excited to make an even bigger impact in the future,” said DealerSocket CEO and President Sejal Pietrzak. “For the past 17 years, our customers have relied on us to be their trusted advisor and partner working with them to achieve their goals. DealerSocket's software continues to help our dealers reach more customers and sell more vehicles, as evidenced by this important milestone.”
Since co-founders Jonathan Ord and Brad Perry founded the company out of their garage, DealerSocket has grown to multiple offices and more than 1,000 employees. DealerSocket’s software started with one product, its CRM system, and now offers an integrated suite of products for automotive dealers. 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.”
