DealerAlertWhere do I need to pay attention this morning?
DealerAlert reads your DMS, CRM, appraisal tool, and website, read-only, and answers that one question for every manager: what needs attention, who owns it, and what to do about it. Ranked by dollars, with the evidence attached.

Ask a follow-upTwenty to thirty systems.None of them talk.
It's Monday. Five rooftops, a lot full of inventory, a service drive that opened at seven, and a phone full of things somebody needed yesterday. One question matters: where do I need to pay attention?
Used to be you went looking. The DMS. vAuto. The CRM. The website. One login leads to another, an export, a spreadsheet, and pretty soon you're working just to figure out what work needs doing. Meanwhile aged units, thin deals, and dropped leads sit unnoticed.

Connect. Ask. Go. Verify.
STEP 1
Connect
Read-only logins to the systems you already have. A couple of clicks. Nothing to replace, nothing to migrate.
STEP 2
Ask
Any manager types a question the way they'd ask a colleague. DealerAlert doesn't guess; it reads your stores.
STEP 3
Go
Every item names the owner, the system, the screen, the action, and a link into the portal. Your people keep working in the tools they know. DealerAlert tells them where to go.
STEP 4
Verify
Next morning it reads again and reports what got done and what's still sitting. Nothing falls through.
Built for every seat in the store.From the dealer principal to the parts counter. Same DealerAlert, different questions.

Evidence, not opinions
Every answer shows which system it came from, how fresh the data is, and whether the data checks passed. Managers stop arguing about the numbers and start acting on them.

Benchmarked
Results are measured against industry and OEM composite targets by segment, so a gap is shown as a gap in dollars, not a percentage on a dashboard.

Straight answers.
Is this another dashboard?
No. A dashboard leaves managers to sort through the data. DealerAlert compares the systems you already use, answers the question, names who should act and where, and comes back the next morning to check that it happened.
Who is it built for?
Owners and dealer principals, GMs, and every department manager: sales, BDC, used, new, service, parts, and the controller. Single stores and multi-rooftop groups.
Will it replace our DMS or CRM?
No. DealerAlert sits above your current stack. Your DMS, CRM, and other tools remain the systems of record, and your people keep working in them.
Which systems does it work with?
Any system with a read-only login. Today that includes PBS, DealerSocket, vAuto, Google Analytics, D2C Media, and DealerVault, and the list grows with every store we connect.
Can it change anything in our systems?
No. Access is read-only. DealerAlert tells a manager what to do, in which system, and links them to the right screen. The manager decides and does the work. Nothing is written back.
How fresh is the data?
As fresh as each source allows. DMS feeds typically refresh daily; website and CRM data can be faster. Every answer shows the freshness of every source, so nobody acts on stale numbers without knowing it.
What does a pilot involve?
One store, read-only logins, connected in days. No charge. If it doesn't pay for itself, walk away with nothing owed.
