Michael Trasatti, CEOLaunched in 2008, DealerBuilt was the answer for dealers who wanted a price-competitive, enterprise-centric, scalable, and flexible DMS. This solution became highly sought after by automotive retailers—both large and SMBs—within a year of being launched. The reasons are clear. DealerBuilt tackles the tough task to build a DMS that can operate sophisticated dealerships without dictating how. In addition, the DMS modules were designed with built-in flexibility and choices to meet a dealer’s individual needs—including solutions for vehicle management, sales and finance, accounting, parts and service, and more. Equally important, its “open” architecture allows dealers to own their data and work with any provider they want.
“Dealers are seeking a DMS that is not just an operating system, but also an extension to their business,” explains DealerBuilt’s CEO, Michael Trasatti. DealerBuilt’s LightYear DMS is that extension, empowering dealers to make data-based decisions to spur growth and meet the expectations of today’s customers.
Automotive retail is a dynamic and everchanging marketplace. “DealerBuilt helps their dealers stay ahead of the curve with a common sense approach to integrating with third-party partners providing dealers with that edge,” adds Trasatti. Without losing site of DealerBuilt’s core competency to be a feature-rich, enterprise management system, it is important to extend the core product to offer a richer consumer experience. As an example, DealerBuilt engaged a best-in-class consumer experience service to embed directly into the LightYear DMS. This provides the dealer’s end-users with a rich set of data about a customer while providing a transparent way to directly communicate with their customers such as texting, estimate signing on the phone, and mobile check-in.
It is part of DealerBuilt’s DNA to seek and deliver a high level of transparency between third-party products and the DMS. “Not easy at times to accomplish, but a passionate goal,” adds Trasatti.
Today, competition in the dealership market is fierce. A solution provider’s success hinges on striving for 100-percent client satisfaction. To DealerBuilt, relationships with clients matter. To this end, DealerBuilt works closely with clients, continually reviewing their feedback and working with them to enhance the product. Why does this matter? It seems Dealers are seeking this in their providers. In 2012, a large dealership group out of California, CAR Group (aka Norm Reeves), was looking for ways to be more innovative, flexible, and easier to work with third-parties. After a long search, they landed on DealerBuilt. The relationship continues while finding unique and exciting ways to enhance the product. In another case, across the country, a progressive dealer looking for that right technical partner also chose DealerBuilt. Constant feedback, shared engagement, and continuous improvement make for a great relationship. This dealer, Vinart (aka Lehigh Valley Honda), is now the top selling Honda store in Pennsylvania.

With a recent influx of capital, DealerBuilt has the funds to develop a new array of tools for task automation that can provide dealers with additional reporting and dashboard capabilities, electronic finance application, and robust consumer experience.

GRAPEVINE, Texas: Vistadash and DealerBuilt are excited to announce their partnership with Autometrics, a provider of automotive predictive purchase intent data that enables dealerships to optimize advertising spend. Together, this powerhouse trio aims to provide dealerships with the ultimate package in automotive advertising.
"With Vistadash and DealerBuilt, a dealership already has a more efficient and profitable means of taking their advertising to the next level," says Dan Moore, president of Vistadash. "With Autometrics predictive data added to the mix, a dealership can better align their advertising based on predictions of what future buyers are looking to purchase over the next two months.
Autometrics' purchase intent data enables dealers, automakers, their agencies, and industry analysts to track essential metrics, including new car demand, competitive threats and opportunities, marketing and incentive effectiveness, shopper-to-sales conversion ratios, cross-shopping activity, and inventory management opportunities, all at national, regional, DMA, and PMA levels. Combined with the latest data science techniques developed in-house by Autometrics, including AI Machine Learning, clients can tactically allocate sales and marketing resources to reflect changing patterns of purchase intent, increasing sales at a lower cost.
The Vistadash software platform is designed to be the standard for automotive data warehousing, providing valuable insights to the dealers who use the software. Developed with the feedback of dealers across the country, Vistadash is a vendor-neutral company created to help dealers manage their human resources, processes, and marketing investments.
DealerBuilt provides a modern, highly-customizable ceDMS platform that conforms to each dealer's unique business processes, enterprise transactions, and reporting requirements. The agility of their platform, combined with their long history of co-innovation with their clients and focus on developing partnerships with other tech innovators, ensure that each client's ceDMS solution remains precisely tailored to their evolving needs.
Vistadash and DealerBuilt plan to unveil their partnership with Autometrics at the upcoming NADA show in Dallas, Texas.
"NADA is the perfect place for us to demonstrate to dealerships how this partnership can serve their advertising needs in a way that other companies can't," says Stephen Shaw, President of Autometrics. "Between all three companies, you get everything you need and then some."
