I investigated integrating my paper scanning software for invoices, deal jackets and ROs. They quoted me a $30,000 upfront integration fee plus an annual renewal, plus roughly $200/mo/rooftop - outrageous. On top of that, their software is old school and clunky in it's integration, which probably accounts for the high cost. And they controll (read biased and favoritism) who they allow in. I am integrating with Dealertrack instead, who has a great, open API and reasonable program. Here's Dealertrack's program page. This quote at the top of the Opentrack page sums up the difference between Dealertrack and CDK: "..Opentrack platform that allows you to choose which providers work best for your business, not your DMS." I've signed an NDA with Dealertrack so can't share any costs but it's way more reasonable and tech savvy.I'll be integrating to other DMS systems rather than fight with CDK. I don't work for Dealertrack and I don't care what DMS you use, but it's YOUR data and you should be able to integrate to it any way you like as long as it meets security requirements. I talk to dealers and other DMS companies every day and they all say they're investigating switching or that most of their sales(DMS) are take-aways from either CDK or Reynolds, who's even worse.I guess this is why Reynolds and CDK are getting sued. http://www.autonews.com/article/20170502/OEM06/170509940/reynolds-cdk-hit-by-another-antitrust-lawsuithttp://www.drivingsales.com/news/cdk-reynolds-reynolds-lawsuit-a-deeper-look/
