Dominion Dealer Solutions Unveils State-of- the-Art Dealer Management System for Automotive Dealers


NORFOLK, Va. - JAN 22, 2018 - Dominion Dealer Solutions announced today the launch of its
cloud-based automotive dealer management system (DMS), Dominion VUE TM . Hosted in the
Microsoft Azure Cloud, this latest achievement from Dominion features an intuitive interface and
bank-level encryption that enable dealership personnel to access all dealer data in real-time, at
any location, without an expensive VPN or remote server.

“Dominion VUE secures in the Azure Cloud all current and historical dealer data for all rooftops
in the business. This creates unique opportunities to analyze, manage, and improve business
metrics against industry standards,” said Van Koppersmith, president of Dominion DMS at
Dominion Dealer Solutions.

Without requiring a VPN and associated fees, Dominion VUE runs on most browsers and device
types. Loaded with a complete suite of fully integrated dealer management applications,
Dominion VUE also contains a STAR-compliant API for third-party integrations. Dominion’s
mission is to make dealers’ lives easier, which includes promoting cleaner and better
integrations with their favorite third-party applications with little or no extra charges.
“Dealers have struggled for years on patched DMS programs that mostly frustrate their
employees and customers. In contrast, Dominion VUE provides the first holistic Fixed Ops
solution built at one time, on a single platform, with seamless transitions from one step in the
operation to the next. And the one-click customization options, even for enterprise-level
reporting, allow for targeted, location-specific results,” noted Koppersmith.

Dominion VUE is the only automotive DMS that allows Fixed Ops staff to complete full RO write-
up, walk around, and closeout on a single tablet device. The extensive Fixed Ops capabilities in
Dominion VUE include service process tracking, electronic MPI, mobile pay, built-in two-way
text and service menus.

Access to and visualization of dealership data is Dominion’s primary goal. For the first time in
the automotive sector, dealers have the ability via Dominion VUE to use advanced predictive
search within their DMS, which provides immediate retrieval of all associated data with drill-
down capabilities to quickly locate data. Additionally, the user-friendly menus and agile interface
enable employees to enjoy smooth, logical workflows with personalized views, reports,
dashboards and calendars.

With Dominion VUE’s cross-browser functionality and tablet-friendly user experience, dealership
staff can work anytime from anywhere. To schedule a first view of Dominion VUE, visit

I'm hopeful they can crack the market, as dealers need to move away from the stranglehold of the Big 2.

That said, when dealers are asked, about 80% hate their current DMS provider, though less than 5% plan to make a change.*
