Used car dealer software that runs the whole lot

DMS Apex is web-based software for independent used-car dealers. It replaces the spreadsheet, the paper deal jacket and the memory you rely on today.

What it does

• Inventory: add a car from its VIN, track cost, auction fees and repairs, and see how long each car has sat.
• Deals: cash and outside-financed deals with trade-ins, deposits, co-buyers and lien holders.
• Wholesale: record cars you sell to other dealers or at auction.
• Paperwork: the Buyer's Order, odometer statement, Buyers Guide and your state's official forms, in black and white.
• Tax: your state's sales tax worked out from its published rules.
• Reports: sales, profit and loss, inventory, tax and fees, and more, exported to Excel or printed.
• Team: invite salespeople and hide costs and profit from them.

Also included

• A public dealer website that updates from your inventory, with a contact form that sends leads to your inbox.
• Vehicle photos, and inventory feeds for Facebook, Google, CarGurus, Cars.com and AutoTrader.
• A simple lead and customer list with follow-up dates.
• E-signatures for the buyer and co-buyer, in person or by emailed link, with a certificate of completion.
• Expense tracking so the profit and loss report shows real net profit.
• CSV import to move your inventory over, and CSV export any time.

How it works

1. Sign up and set your state and dealer details.
2. Add your cars from the VIN.
3. Start a sale, and print the Buyer's Order and your state's forms.
