Web-based architecture and simplified
workflows, designed by CDK Global, help dealers optimize their
businesses and provide improved usability and accessibility
CDK Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDK), a leading retail automotive
technology company, today announces the next generation of the
Dealer Management System (DMS), Drive Flex, a first-of-its-kind
web-based DMS.
Introduced in March 2018, Drive Flex is now available to dealers
with one or two locations, delivering new capabilities and an
improved user interface that increases efficiency and productivity
while reducing install times and learning curves.
“Drive Flex is modernizing automotive retail,” said Rajiv Amar,
executive vice president and chief technology officer, CDK Global.
“With these and other new technologies, dealers have greater
ability to improve the car buying experience and optimize their
businesses for success. We are accelerating our investment by
adding more engineers to efficiently bring this innovative
technology to more dealerships of all sizes in the near
future.”
Designed with the full capabilities that dealerships need to run
their businesses, Drive Flex has intuitive and easy-to-use
workflows allowing dealers to hire best-in-class employees
regardless of their prior DMS experience.
“I was able to jump right in and use Drive Flex with practically
no training,” says Cindy Cupp, F&I manager, Cupp Chevrolet,
Marceline, Mo. “I love the simplicity of the F&I and accounting
workflows. I can easily see us becoming much more productive and
efficient in how we do business and serve our customers.”
Operating with web-based architecture, Drive Flex allows secure,
256-bit encrypted access from any internet connected device,
helping to reduce infrastructure costs and provide greater
operating flexibility. Cloud-based form templates new to Drive Flex
ensure seamless integration, and faster customization, archiving
and retrieval, with fewer one-off forms to be built and
maintained.
“The simplified processes allow us to spend more time with
customers – that’s big, especially when it comes to providing a
better experience and driving customer satisfaction,” says Pam
Guyer, controller and office manager, Kindred Chevrolet,
Smithville, Mo.
