The DMS-Agnostic Advantage
ScanIt Vehicles is DMS-agnostic. It works the same no matter which DMS you use. This gives your store some big wins:
- No retraining when you switch — If you change DMS, your staff already knows ScanIt Vehicles. The scan flow, reports, and steps stay the same.
- Same process at every store — Dealer groups often run different DMS at different stores. ScanIt Vehicles gives you one way to manage stock across all of them.
- Keep your hardware — Your scanners, printers, and gear stay the same when you switch DMS. No new hardware needed.
- Faster DMS switch — ScanIt Vehicles holds your inventory data on its own. This cuts the risk of lost data when you move to a new DMS.
What If You Switch DMS?
Changing DMS is a big job. But ScanIt Vehicles makes the move smoother for your inventory team:
- Tell IPS support — Let us know your switch timeline. We'll set up ScanIt Vehicles for your new DMS.
- No hardware changes — Your scanners, printers, and PCs keep working as before.
- Data stays safe — ScanIt Vehicles keeps 18 months of scan history apart from your DMS. Your past data is safe through the switch.
- Staff keeps working — Your lot staff, managers, and sales team use the same screens they know. Only the DMS link in the background changes.
How It Connects to Your DMS
ScanIt Vehicles links to your DMS through a server on your store's network:
- Local server setup — A ScanIt Vehicles server is put on your network, next to your DMS server
- Real-time data flow — When you scan a vehicle, the data goes to the ScanIt server. It then posts to your DMS right away.
- Two-way sync — ScanIt reads vehicle records from your DMS. It also writes new records back for check-ins and postings.
- Secure link — All data stays on your local network. No vehicle or customer data goes over the internet.
