Connected Dealer Services Description
The CDS platform serves as an all-encompassing Dealer Lifecycle Management (DLM) solution tailored specifically for new car dealerships. With our advanced GPS management software, dealerships can efficiently monitor their inventory, oversee loaner vehicles, mitigate losses from theft, cut costs, enhance staff productivity, and boost customer satisfaction levels. Additionally, it offers advantages such as improved retention of service customers, access to insurance discounts, streamlined inventory audits, and more. Furthermore, dealers not only gain these benefits but also establish a robust new revenue stream. The Elo GPS system enhances the value proposition by providing a Stolen Vehicle Recovery and Driver Monitoring System, offering CDS dealer partners a lucrative profit center through a straightforward add-on sale to consumers at the point of sale. This innovative system has the potential to turn inventory management expenses into a flourishing profit center, potentially generating hundreds of additional dollars in profit per transaction, creating a win-win situation for both dealers and their customers.

Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control.
VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams.
For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring.
VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.
