CDK Global is the parent company for our Dealer Management Software (DMS). I’ve had a relationship with their division that provides software to Powersports, Marine, and RV dealers and have used all 3 versions of the DMS
- Lightspeed Unix
- Lightspeed NXT (first Windows version)
- Lightspeed EVO (fully hosted and most current version)
As one of the largest DMS providers in the industry, CDK also has access to a comprehensive set of industry data. Each month they make some stats available to anyone who would like to view them. Click here to access those reports.
Lightspeed sends out a quarterly newsletter to their clients. For the last couple of years I have provided articles detailing tips that dealers can use to get the most out of their DMS.
