Curious if any dealers have been using Data Your Way and built out their own reporting from the DMS system. Would love to learn more about it if anyone is using it!
Data Your Way?
- Thread starter MPhelps
- Start date
Last 6 months only 6 results on Google (2 being from DR) the one article has a transcript of an interview. So look like it's still super new
Here is section on Data Your Way
[00:19:00] Ankit Raheja: to do some kind of a co development with them. We did it for one of our product offering called Data Your Way. It's a data product, it's not an AIML product, but that's what we did. We got their feedback, and we launched the product within a few months after working with them. After the co development phase, next came for us, the beta stage.
[00:19:25] Ankit Raheja: There we expanded our sample set to around 15 dealer groups. There's a difference between dealerships and dealer groups. One dealership group can have multiple dealerships under them. So we worked with 15 dealerships for our beta stage. And finally, We launched our product after they being in beta for for, for a few months and now the product is in GA.

We have started at it for our mercedes locations that are stuck on cdk for a few years. Little unsettling after we started on their previous offering and now 'data their way'.

I am in the middle of setting this up with our group. So far it has been easy to configure and schedule the exports. The CDK data team was great. Right now I'm working on unpacking the schema and finding the right combination of Table and Field names to use. Seeing a lot of useful data so far. I'll keep this thread updated as I move further along here.

How is this going Bill? Overall it sounds like it has been an easy process? We are working through using Data My Way with some dealer groups to add additional data that we don't subscribe to via Fortellis APIs (due to the data bundle structures that Fortellis has). We are trying to use Data My Way to fill a few gaps in data for each dealer group's data warehouse.

Hi Alex! I've found the process to be straightforward. The challenging part was pinpointing the specific datasets you need, as there are so many options. However, once you identify them, exporting is a breeze. I definitely recommend taking this route if you need to fill gaps.
Just a heads up: CDK does not allow third-party IP exports. I had to configure pull-downs from my local machine, which is connected to the dealer CDK network.
