What it is not
It is not a dealership DMS, not a heavy-truck or fleet maintenance platform, and not a venture-funded
platform with thousands of customers. It is a small independent product used by a few dozen shops, built by
one of them. If you need multi-location dealer group reporting, look elsewhere and we will say so.
