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…

The Reynolds and Reynolds Company
ERA-IGNITE works well for day to day operations at Car Dealerships. It will maintain your customer records. It is lacking a little in mainlining employee records, as you have to switch back and forth between ERA "blue screen" (older version) and IGNITE "point and click" (newer version). Overall, though it will get the job done.

  • I like when you are punching journal entries, checks, etc. you get the schedule balance at the bottom. That is very beneficial.
  • Payable checks are well done. You can pay by invoice or vendor.
  • There are numerous reports that you can create in RMI to help with any specific reporting that is needed.

The Reynolds and Reynolds Company
  • The Financial Statements can only be printed on legal and instead of scrolling through it to look at it you have to navigate it at the top with the arrows.
  • Their time clock is not user-friendly. You cannot just pull up one person and look at their time and make changes. You have to go through like you want to print, look at the time for the employee to find errors, then back out and go into a different screen to correct.
  • Giving employees access to different functions is a nightmare. It is not at all laid out the way Ignite is used, and there are numerous hidden check boxes.
