DealerTrack DMS Completes Pilot Test for Dealer Communication Integration with Toyota
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. - DealerTrack Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc., and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. have successfully completed the initial phase of a test pilot that is intended to expand the current integration between TMS' Dealer Daily dealer communication system and third-party DMS providers, including DealerTrack.
Among the transactions and communications successfully piloted for integration are finance & insurance deal information, vehicle inventory data, parts orders and returns, repair orders, and warranty payments. DealerTrack intends to continue to work with TMS in a second phase of the pilot project, which should deliver integration for an additional set of interfaces.
"We are excited about the opportunity to work with Toyota more closely, and even more pleased that our customers may soon enjoy the time-saving benefits of integration between the DealerTrack DMS and Toyota Dealer Daily," said Rich Holland, vice president and general manager, DealerTrack DMS.
"The integration between the DealerTrack DMS and Toyota will save our dealership time and money in many areas of our operations. We are excited to be able to pilot this new integration with Toyota and feel it has already started to streamline our business," said Mark Miller, owner of Mark Miller dealerships in Utah.
