CDK Global has announced the launch of its new CDK Fundamentals Suite, a business system designed specifically for use at small auto dealerships.
The new offering is built for both independent and smaller franchise dealerships, looking to meet their immediate needs without slowing down operations. It aims to improve the dealer and customer experience while also increasing overall operational efficiency.
“CDK is committed to supporting smaller dealerships by providing a proven, trusted system that leverages the power of our highly successful CDK Dealership Xperience platform,” said Brian MacDonald, president and chief executive officer, CDK. “The Fundamentals Suite is tailored to address the needs of smaller dealers while being scalable to support our customers’ growth as their requirements change.”
Key Features
The Fundamentals Suite offers an array of different features to better assist dealerships, starting with a simplified user interface. Workflows are designed to easily provide dealers with actionable insights to improve decision making and data accuracy. Comprehensive data protection is also included, ensuring that customer data is always safe and secure.
That extends to document management as well, with all dealership documents now securely stored digitally. This will allow dealerships to cut down on waste and employ the use of electronic forms and digital signatures. The digital process will help customers save time and minimize mistakes, enhancing their entire sales experience.
Dealers can also utilize Fundamentals Suite’s accounting system providing audit trails and approved financial statements for all major OEMs and NIADA. Parts and service functionality can be incorporated for any dealers with fixed operations. On offer are 24/7 online service scheduling, parts and service invoicing and streamlined inventory management.
Finally, for any dealerships looking for even more scalable capabilities, the Fundamentals Suite offers integrations with other CDK solutions such as CDK SimplePay, CDK Vehicle Inventory Suite, CDK Service, and CDK Intelligence Suite.
