Why independent dealers run on iDMS, not the franchise system

Six capabilities tuned to the independent and BHPH workflow.

iDMS delivers the flexibility, control, and visibility you need to run your business your way. Tools built specifically for your workflow, not a one-size-fits-all franchise system.

01

Inventory management

Independent-dealer inventory built for the way you actually buy, recondition, and turn units. Not a franchise template forced onto your store.

02

Deal structuring

Retail deals, BHPH notes, lease structures, and the everything-in-between deal that does not fit a clean template. iDMS handles it.

03

Accounting and financials

Dealership accounting integrated to the deal jacket, not bolted on. The books reconcile the way the lot actually moves.

04

Collections

The BHPH backbone. Promise-to-pay workflows, automated reminders, recovery coordination with GoldStar and LoJack on the same platform.

05

Compliance

Compliance handled where the deal lives, so audit prep stops being a fire drill and starts being a report you run.

06

Customer management

Customers tracked across the relationship, not just the deal. The next sale, the next service, the next note all read off one record.

What iDMS solves that a franchise system cannot

Independent and BHPH are different operations. iDMS treats them that way.

IDMS empowers independent dealers to run more efficiently, stay compliant, and increase profitability. With tools built specifically for your workflow, you gain full control over inventory, deal structures, financing, and customer management.

BHPH-FIRST WORKFLOWS

BHPH is not retail with extra paperwork. iDMS treats the note as the primary asset and structures the workflow around collections, compliance, and portfolio performance.

  • BHPH note structuring with portfolio-level reporting
  • Promise-to-pay and collections workflows out of the box
  • GoldStar and LoJack data on the same customer record

INDEPENDENT-DEALER PROFITABILITY

Run more efficiently, stay compliant, increase profitability. iDMS gives the independent operator the control they have spent years asking the franchise systems to deliver.

  • Inventory aging tied to recon and pricing decisions
  • Custom deal structures supported as a first-class case
  • Real-time reporting on every part of the operation
PERI

INCLUDED, NOT NICKEL-AND-DIMED

Free software upgrades, free web training for life, free 24/7 emergency support. The platform pays back the moment a competitor system would charge a change-order fee.

  • Upgrades included as the platform evolves
  • Web training as a permanent benefit, not a service line
  • 24/7 emergency support so the lot never stops moving

The DMS that respects the way the independent store actually runs.

We will show you how iDMS handles the deal jacket, the BHPH note, the collections workflow, and the compliance reporting, and how it shares the same Cloud OS as your CRM, your GoldStar GPS, and your titling.

One customer record. The deal, the note, the title, the GPS, the recovery, the payment, the next customer touch, all reading from iDMS on the Solera Cloud OS.

The foundation

Powered by the Solera AI Engine.

The infrastructure and data layer accelerating the Cloud OS.

A bolt-on tool cannot get smarter, because it has nothing to learn from. The Solera Cloud OS sits on connected lifecycle signals, so intelligence shows up inside the tools your team already uses, helping prioritize, automate, and assist before a workflow ever breaks. Real progress comes from applying AI where the work happens, powered by connected context, not from another standalone widget your team has to learn.

The dealer management system built for the way you actually run.

iDMS gives independent and BHPH dealers full control over inventory, deals, accounting, collections, and compliance. Connected to the rest of the Solera Cloud OS, free upgrades and 24/7 support included.
