Blackpurl	Score 10.0 out of 10	N/A	Dealer Management Software is dead. It's too expensive, too complicated and too limiting. Times have changed and DMS is simply no longer capable of running a modern dealership. Blackpurl's dealership retail platform features integrations with premier accounting and eCommerce providers like QuickBooks Online and Shopify so the user is never boxed in. It's cloud-based, allowing users to run business anywhere on any device. The platform is designed to be easy and simple to use so that…	$340 3 Users Per Month

Considered Both Products	Blackpurl No answer on this topic	CDK Sherry Wood Senior Marketing Director Chose CDK CDK Drive is way better, but from my experience, the integration process was very long and very painful and we feel CDK Drive could've made that less painful and less lengthy.

MD Mark DiNallo Service Director Chose CDK CDK presents a much stronger, full integration of needed services than I found with AutoMate in particular, slightly better than Dealertrack, without the enormous additional cost incurred by using ERA-IGNITE.

User Testimonials
	Blackpurl	CDK
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	CDK Drive is great at connecting all the team members in service/parts. We used to have a foreman who had to dispatch work to each technician, which is now done through CDK Drive. Technicians can get help with part requirements/needs through CDK. Before, each technician had to go back to the parts department and wait. CDK Drive is good at offering an option to record and send a video of what was found on a service diagnosis, this helps with transparency and trust.

Pros	No answers on this topic	CDK Drive is great at integrating with other software programs or finding a solution to connect/gather information. CDK Drive allows you to pull all kinds of information, lists for use outside of CDK (like pulling customer lists for marketing emails). CDK Drive continually updates its systems and processes to keep up with modern technology (for example, implementing iPads/digital processes even for technicians).

Cons	No answers on this topic	It'd be nice if it weren't so expensive. Automatic reports emailed to service managers. Auto reporting emailed to designated managers. Incentivized Sherry Wood Senior Marketing Director Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Great job by everyone from the initial sales staff to the implementation team to the support staff. Always ready, willing and able to help out with any questions or issues that arise, even those from people who are simply not computer savvy and have had a hard time transitioning to a new product for everyday use.

Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	CDK Drive is way better, but from my experience, the integration process was very long and very painful and we feel CDK Drive could've made that less painful and less lengthy. Once it is working the way it should, I am sure that we will love it. Right now though, every time something else goes wrong, it builds on the frustration of the other 50 things that went wrong prior. Incentivized Sherry Wood Senior Marketing Director Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	It has had an enormous impact on lowering our fixed expenses, as everything is less expensive, down to the paper that is used. Data processing costs are down as well due to the fact that multiple facets of the program combine needed processes into one. Incentivized MD Mark DiNallo Service Director Read full review
