You mean when CDK figured their company would sell better if they inflated revenue like Reynolds? 
Our DMS appears to be taking advantage of us - WHAT ARE YOU PAYING FOR API INTEGRATION?

Exactly. Capitalism at its finest. There are so many other {good} choices and we are moving on.
There are several that offer true Multi-Company accounting and many running multi rooftop groups. Just takes the balls to make the change.
As for what RR charges, they charge so much for their actual DMS there should be no other charges, I know of a Ford Dealer in SC on RR, single point 150 unit per month store paying $18K per month. Now granted the DP did not use his head when he signed that contract but I don't even know how that sales rep sleeps at night. He could have another solution for less than $3K per month that does more and without a contract.
The times of "we only have 2 choices" are over and have been for several years now.

Switch to https://www.autosoftdms.com. I know Bryce Veon, personally, and his product is cheaper and better. Reynolds doesn't like them, because they offer a superior product, which is cheaper / flexible and with better support.

I would encourage you, with @Jeff Kershner permission and for the fact that we all know what REY and CDK do, that you write something about the transition from them to DL and what are their biggest points. I think smaller vendors in as niche of giants could use that help and become very useful for dealers in need of alternatives.

One dealers transition from XXX DMS to XXX DMS - or something like that. @andwrig - would love to host the article of you're up for writing it.
Jeff and Yago - I would be willing to do that at some point in the future. It's only been approximately 90 days since our switch. It's gone quite well for the most part but I'd like to get more time under my belt so I can speak in greater detail.

I have worked in the automotive/powersports industry for 20 years and have experience with numerous DMS providers. Lightspeed is by far the worst DMS that I have encountered. Stay clear of this unethical and incompetent DMS provider! I have seen three sided journal entries, subledgers out of balance, the bank reconciliation doesn't compare the G/L with the bank balance, and the most basic reports that I require are absent. This DMS belongs in 1982. For those stuck in a contract with them please voice your concerns with the CEO Brian Provost at [email protected]. There is power with numbers.
