"Be the Best at the Basics" - Ryan Farina
We all know, the best way to grow our business is to stay on top of the basics.
Data Driverz (datadriverz.io) is an AI-powered operational data platform for automotive dealerships that unifies disconnected store data (DMS, CRM, inventory, marketing, financials) into a single, real-time view so teams know what to do next rather than just reading reports.

Data Driverz (datadriverz.io) is an AI-powered operational data platform for automotive dealerships that unifies disconnected store data (DMS, CRM, inventory, marketing, financials) into a single, real-time view so teams know what to do next rather than just reading reports.
What Data Driverz does
- Connects existing dealership systems (DMS, CRM, inventory feeds, marketing and performance tools) without replacing them, then aggregates the data into one operational view.
- Focuses on variable operations (sales/BDC/internet/marketing) and uses AI and machine learning to turn raw data into recommendations and daily direction by role, not just dashboards.
- Positions itself as the “Operational Data Platform” for dealers, aiming to end spreadsheet stitching and delayed reporting by providing real-time performance, accountability, and alerts on what needs attention now.
Who it’s for
- Retail auto dealers, GMs, GSMs, and operators who want connected data and daily marching orders without swapping out their current CRM or DMS.
- Stores struggling with fragmented data across vendors and systems and looking for a layer that sits on top to drive consistent execution and profitability.
Notable details
- Founded by dealer-operator Ryan Farina, built explicitly “by dealers for dealers” out of frustration with disconnected data and lack of operational clarity.
- Launched formally as the “auto industry’s first Operational Data Platform” at the 2026 NADA Show in Las Vegas; recently added industry veteran Doug Hadden as CRO to scale go-to-market.
