Your customers call to schedule service. They shouldn't have to.

We integrate with most modern DMS platforms including CDK, DealerSocket, and Reynolds and Reynolds via their official APIs. Customer history, open recalls, and repair order data flow into your custom tools in real time. If your DMS has limited API access, we build secure middleware layers using data exports and scheduled sync. See our application development approach.

Automated SMS and email notifications fire through Twilio when service status changes in your system. Customers receive updates as their vehicle moves through inspection, diagnosis, parts ordering, and completion. They can also check status in their customer portal anytime without calling. Service advisors update status with one tap from their workstation. We build it with our automation tools.

We build parts lookup tools that search your on-hand inventory, dealer network, and aftermarket suppliers in one query. Ordering, inventory sync with your DMS, and automated reorder points for high-turnover parts are all included. Vendor price comparison and order tracking eliminate the phone calls and spreadsheets that slow down parts procurement. See our application development services.

Yes. We design and develop dealership sites built with Next.js that feature inventory showcase pages, integrated service scheduling, and lead capture forms for sales and service. Each site is built with structured data markup for vehicle listings and local business schema to rank for searches like "oil change near me" or "used trucks in Florence." Every site is performance optimized from day one.

A focused scheduling + status portal with SMS notifications is typically 8 to 10 weeks. Full DMS integration with advisor dashboards, parts tools, and multi-point inspection tablets extends to 3 to 5 months. We deliver in phases, so your service department can start offering online scheduling while internal tools are still being built. See our application development timeline.

Most projects range from $5,000 to $50,000 depending on DMS integration complexity, portal features, and internal tool requirements, and most land between $18,000 and $35,000. A focused service scheduling portal sits at the lower end, while a full platform with DMS sync, parts management, and advisor tools runs higher. Eliminating redundant third-party tool subscriptions often covers a significant portion of the build cost. See our application development page.

We build with React or Next.js on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, and PostgreSQL for data. DMS integrations connect via official APIs from CDK, DealerSocket, or Reynolds and Reynolds. SMS notifications run through Twilio. The code is modern and documented, so it's easy to maintain. See our web development page for more on our technical approach.

We provide ongoing maintenance and support covering DMS API updates, feature additions, security patches, and performance monitoring. Dealership software needs active maintenance as DMS platforms evolve and customer expectations shift. It runs on a retainer: you put down a deposit, the work is billed against it at $150 an hour, and you get a monthly summary.

Yes. We build multi-location architectures with centralized reporting, shared customer databases, and location-specific configurations. Each rooftop maintains its own service scheduling and DMS connection while ownership gets group-wide performance dashboards. Customers with vehicles at multiple locations see a unified service history. See examples on our portfolio page.

We build with data privacy best practices: encrypted storage, role-based access controls, and audit logging. Customer service history is only accessible to authorized staff and the vehicle owner through their authenticated portal. Data retention policies are configurable to comply with state privacy regulations. See our application development security approach.
