How OPE Dealers Use Ideal to Boost Dealership Profitability & Productivity
Finding the perfect dealership management system (DMS) can be challenging. What works for one dealership might not work for another. One thing’s for sure – the best DMS is one that helps all the different departments of a dealership work together.
We can tell you why Ideal may be the perfect fit for your dealership, but we’ll let our dealers do the talking. Here’s what Ideal users had to say about the many features of our dealership management software that have helped them boost their dealership’s bottom-line profitability, run more efficiently, and increase productivity.
Keep everything organized within Ideal’s Dealership Management Software
There are many moving parts in a dealership – from customer service to work orders to invoices. Keeping everything organized and ensuring that your dealership runs smoothly is no easy task.
The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. Ideal helps you stay organized and on top of your dealership’s operations. Here’s what Ideal users had to say:

Streamline communications and improve service department efficiency with TargetCRM
TargetCRM is designed to help you connect with your customers through tailored marketing communications. This software integrates effortlessly with mobile devices, making it easier for dealers to connect and communicate with customers through text messaging, e-mails, and surveys.

Protect your dealership from cyber threats and keep data secure within Ideal Cloud
According to Roger Grimes, Data Evangelist at KnowB4, there are on average, 4,000 – 20,000+ new cyber threats a year, or 11-55 new threats per day. Transitioning from on-premises dealership systems to a cloud system can help boost your security.
At Ideal, we have a team of IT professionals who monitor your server 24/7 to help take care of all the complicated technology so you can focus on what matters. Here’s what dealers had to say about making the switch to Ideal Cloud:
