No. [USER=7193]@Shawn Ryder[/USER] Not in the traditional model of CRM. DriveCentric flipped the old guard on its head a bit in the way they approach tasks and engagement and UX. They're still limited though by partnerships and integrations with the puzzle pieces they don't posses (DMS, etc). Tekion's goal of a single integrated system seems to be stalling even though they're growing in accounts, growing in features, but seemingly not improving satisfaction, performance, or value of tools. I think the largest area of opportunity for someone with a new CRM wanting to move quickly is in the independent space. Subscription based $199-$399 price point with basic features, mobile, and customer management with even 5% of the market is $3M+ in annual revenue. And with that said, every entrepreneur on here is going to say I'm an idiot LOL. The other issue is going to be the increasing OEM lock down of tools and required partnerships and integrations for franchise dealers. For instance, just to get FordDirect integrations I had to move our four Ford stores to "FordDirect CRM" aka DriveCentric which we were already using. My FD rate on DriveCentric is going to add a considerable expense to our Variable Department expense BUT gotta play if we want those private offer and inventory integrations...
