Great people, great value, great support

The people are top notch pros. They offer service and support 2nd to none. The software is a very good value for all the the features it includes, and they continue to improve it all the time.

Pros

It does everything we need. It runs pretty fast on a local network.

Cons

modular system (DMS tool is a different system that the website tool)

You own it

Easy to use F&I software for car dealers. Good communication from the company about updates and just staying in touch.

Pros

I like that we own the software. You can choose a yearly maintenance plan, which comes with the initial purchase. But if you don't want it down the road, no cost. You just may not get timely software updates. One of the most stable products since Manheim Tracker. Very similar in layout and use. I much prefer that type of software to the monthly subscription service that you never stop paying...ever....

Cons

Can't get direct access to outside warranty providers like GWC or ASC. If you write warranty or gap coverage, you must go to a dealer portal website. No intergration.

Lots of glitches; problems with printing forms all the time. you must call them to update

only the printing forms and loading inventory to other sites from them.

Pros

Easy to use, sorts inventory well. going back to do reports or print history of inventory is good. Keeps a good record.

Cons

Printing is off quite often. Have to pay for updates often, anytime you need anything they want money to help you. Also cannot look up any info from another computer unless you pay to have it installed there also. Not convenient.

Featured desking

I have used at least 4-5 desking software, so far this is the best. It it great software and they are constantly improving it.

Pros

DeskManager by automanager is great desking software with features that help keep track of Car dealership sales process. Its quickbook module integretion make bookkeeping job easy.

Cons

I would say improvement. Reporting definitely could be improved. It is not easy to figure out how to create reports.

It got the job done.

Pros

The ability to have the inventory of two car lots all in the same system; allowing is to view any vehicle's info that the company owned

Cons

Customer service is terrible. It's hard to understand, and they were always annoyed that you even called them.

WebManager Craigslist Posting Tool is Great

Pros

This tool makes posting to Craigslist so quick and easy. I used to spend 3-4 hours a day babysitting my Craigslist automatic postings. Now it is a snap to select the vehicles and post them. The time savings is great. Deleting the posts after the vehicle sells is just as quick and easy. I love this tool.

Cons

I would rather be able to pick which vehicles to post and schedule them to be posted, but this is a minor thing.

Highly Recommend

We have been using this DMS since 2012, it is great for smaller to mid size dealerships and those that have their own service dept. If you have more than 2 salespeople this software can work for your dealership.

Pros

Easy to learn, navigate and affordability

Cons

there isnt much of anything we didnt like

Simplified, one stop resource! If you need it they have it all under one roof.

Pros

finger tip control with everything you could and do need. Compliance, forms, DMS, CRM, WEBSITE,.. Literally why you are on the move ,it is with you.

Cons

There is nothing that I can say is or would be a con at this time. The company performs as

Easy to use

We have been using DeskManager for years. It is simple and easy to use. It does everything a small dealership needs to do.

Pros

easy

Cons

not as custom as I would like

Great System

Deskmanager is easy to use and offers all the things needed to run a dealership. Forms and Reports. Great Customer Service.

customer service

Pros

fast service easy software to use a lots of ways to make our life easier .

Cons

some of the technician not very knowledgeable

Excellent

DeskManager saves us time and keeps us organized

Pros

Customer service rep, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is the best! Ease of use and variety of functions.

Cons

Not having customer service reps available on the East Coast.

Great DMS + More

Overall great experience!

Pros

Easy to set up and Use - Even more convenient if you have WebManager as well

Cons

When contacting support they always have someone call you back instead of connecting you straight to someone.

Best "Cloud like" option for small, mobile flexible dealer. The tech support has never let us down!

Mobil capability to work deals anywhere.

Pros

The mobility through hosting. We have Mac and PC users and can even use it on an IPAD with remote desktop. Online training was great and we were up and running very quickly. Push to Craigslist, scan the inventory and a very affordable price. Text to pay has helped us have 100% customer payments so far.

Cons

I have asked for scheduling communications for payment reminders. I would like to edit the texts with ProPay and create batched texts and emails to remind people to pay. Only feature request I have had.

Disappointed

Desk manager has been a disappointment to us, we purchased the program to replace our existing software, (which we loved, but they didn't handle leasing). They promised us that they could handle all of our needs, but it took them 2 weeks to get us the plain paper leasing forms onto our software, (paperwork they should have already had because they work with our leasing company already) it took 2 days shy of 1 month to get our MA plain paper forms onto our software, ( they tried to tell us that their other MA dealers only use per-printed forms) . When we asked for our money back after not being able to use the program for the first 2 weeks, we were told that all sales were final and we would not get a refund, and it still took them an additional 2 weeks to set us up to do a simple plain paper form purchase and sales for MA. They will be happy to enter any forms you send them in PDF form, just not until they get to it. It is a shame because the program has the potential to be good, it is just backed by a poor system of support. When you call them for support, you get an animated message that they will call you back in the order your call was received. This is not helpful if you are new to the system and have a customer sitting there waiting for you to figure out how to input something into the program.

Easiest way to market, right from your DMS!

I began using Webmanager around 2010 when my webmaster grew up and got a real job. If you are using DeskManager DMS, you are wasting money if you market using anyone else. Webmanager seamlessly uploads directly from your DMS software and immediately places it on your web site. Your only responsible to make sure your units are inventoried correctly. Anyone can manger your website, online auctions, and social media. Your sales people complain about low leads? PUT THEM TO WORK. Make them spend 15 minutes each day working with Webmanager.From Webmanager, your sales people can receive leads, credit apps, and contact info. And they can post directly to eBay and Craigslist with a few clicks. No building pages, no long drawn out procedures, no trying to resolve captchas. Click, POSTED.

Fantastic!

We were new entirely to the auto business and DeskManager has been a lifesaver. From making a deal to having the correct forms or helping keep books in order to running credit applications, Deskmanager does it all! Customer support is very easy to deal with and are actually rarely needed. This software is an absolute must that I would not chose to be without. We have been in business for over 3 years now and DeskManager has been with us every step of the way. Integration is seamless. As our business has grown, DM always had the answer. The developers have thought of issues in advance. Thank you DM!

This platform is powerful beyond imagination, especially when price is considered.

This is a powerful DMS platform that is capable of way more than most that cater to the Independent Dealer community. I have had no issues so far, but admittedly have a great deal of experience on the Franchise side. There are a great number of settings available, and they do take some time to get through. Once the setups are done, this thing is fast and efficient. I would recommend this platform to anyone that wants more than just a basic platform to type paperwork.

A very customer-oriented company.

We've been subscribing to WebManager for almost a year now, and our experience has been incredible. From taking the time to explain exactly what our costs would be, to tolerating our learning curve, to adjusting templates to fit our needs, Bill Tzabi in sales, and George in IT have been instrumental in making the entire process smooth and productive. The entire IT support department has been stellar to work with as well, easily attended to our needs and requests in a timely manner. Deciding to move our website hosting to Automanager wasn't a decision we took lightly or rushed into, but we are exceptionally happy with our experience and look forward to a long and productive partnership.

Software Works But Has Backend Support Problems

Used it for 3 months worked as they said but when I needed backend support they never have the time to finish and wanted to just hang up on me before problem was solved and then support totally missed the minor problem and disrespected me making me go off on them so I dumped them need better backend support!!!! Do Not Recommend!!!

Pros

simple to use

Cons

backend support staff

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SOFTWARE AND SUPPORT

I've been in the industry for some time now, and not only is the software efficient and user friendly, but the support is nothing less than exceptional! I am so grateful for the support team, as they are always easy to reach and assist you immeditely. I have not once had an issue with them, and find it shocking that anyone else could say anything less. Thank you guys for all that you do!

its not web-Based

Cons

At first customer service agents were nice, he told me 30 days 100% money back guarantee, i paid amount for six month then i found out lots of issue with the software i demanded money back not only they refused to do so but also billed me after six month even though they know that i canceled a week after the purchase, this company is money hungry don't care about you, don't recommend them, much better software out there

We used this previously and it was great!

At my previous dealership, we used this software and it worked amazing! Very great product, and highly recommended!

Pros

Easy to use

Cons

none

Great People!

Everyone is always so professional, polite, and eager to help! They've made transitioning to a new website quick and easy! We at Jerry's Campers in Abilene, Texas are VERY appreciative of the hard workers at Desk Manager!
