NORFOLK, Va. — Dominion Dealer Solutions announced the launch of its cloud-based automotive DMS, Dominion VUE.
Hosted in the Microsoft Azure Cloud, Dominion VUE features an intuitive interface and bank-level encryption that enable dealership personnel to access all dealer data in real time, at any location, without an expensive VPN or remote server, according to the provider.
“Dominion VUE secures in the Azure Cloud all current and historical dealer data for all rooftops in the business. This creates unique opportunities to analyze, manage, and improve business metrics against industry standards,” said Van Koppersmith, president of Dominion DMS at Dominion Dealer Solutions.
Without requiring a VPN and associated fees, Dominion VUE runs on most browsers and device types. Loaded with a complete suite of fully integrated dealer management applications, Dominion VUE also contains a STAR-compliant API for third-party integrations. Dominion’s mission is to make dealers’ lives easier, which includes promoting cleaner and better integrations with their favorite third-party applications with little or no extra charges, Koppersmith said.
“Dealers have struggled for years on patched DMS programs that mostly frustrate their employees and customers. In contrast, Dominion VUE provides the first holistic fixed ops solution built at one time, on a single platform, with seamless transitions from one step in the operation to the next. And the one-click customization options, even for enterprise-level reporting, allow for targeted, location-specific results.”
Dominion VUE is the only automotive DMS that allows fixed ops staff to complete full RO write-up, walkaround and closeout on a single tablet device. Fixed ops capabilities include service process tracking, electronic MPI, mobile pay, built-in two-way text and service menus, all according to the provider.
