Good news, Mr. Davis. Over the next few months you will see more integration with HomeNet and vAuto. Considering vAuto's main function is to help dealers identify opportunities to maximize gross profit on individual cars and HomeNet's main function is merchandising; we are focused on bringing the best of both worlds to our dealers.
I hope you are right but I have seen too many good companies that were gobbled up and then turned to shit. Don't get me wrong, I was always a fan of AutoTrader because it worked for me and I could easily justify the cost but how long since they purchased Homenet and vAuto?

Jeff Kershner asks automotive dealers which inventory management software they use and what features they prefer, sparking responses that reveal a fragmented market with numerous options including HomeNet, VinSolutions, AutoJini, and DMI/CDK. Participants discuss both standalone inventory systems and those integrated with CRMs and websites, along with specialized export services for third-party listings. A notable insight emerges that many dealerships likely pay for multiple redundant inventory management tools they don't fully utilize—a practice one participant compares unfavorably to the Wells Fargo scandal.
