Is DriveCentric just running away from the pack at this point?

Researching DealerCentric and wanted to ask a question of their chatbot. Immediately required, name, email, phone number. Ok, I'll do that for some information. Submit and rather than a chat bot, please wait for someone to reply.

8 minutes later get an email and chat simultaneously from an operator "would you like a demo".
No just have some questions.
"Would you like to talk to someone about your questions?"
I thought I was talking to someone about my questions?
"No we can't answer questions here. Here's a link to sign up for a demo." :banghead:

If this is the kind of experience auto buyers are going to have with DealerCentric, I'll pass.

We switched from Vinsolutions to DriveCentric at the end of May, so 9 days into June solely on Drive Centric. Drive seems awesome but the solds are not matching. All the different places you look the sold counts are different. Coming from Vinsolutions i do i transition my brain or thinking to see how many vehicles we have sold?

Seems to me in Drive the solds are actually pending, and delivered is from DMS/Tekion, so you add those two numbers together to get your total sold.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Dan Sayer praises DriveCentric's superior core usability and innovative features like its iOS Watch app, asking whether it's pulling ahead of competitors like VinSolutions, eLead, and DealerSocket—a claim largely supported by other users who agree the gap is real in day-to-day functionality and update pace. While respondents acknowledge DriveCentric's strengths, some criticism emerges around its new desking feature and potential DMS integration limitations, plus concerns about Reynolds potentially pushing dealers toward their inferior Focus CRM alternative.
