Dealer software
Used Car Dealer Software
For used car dealers: the back office behind the lot, on one login.
Last updated
Social Agencies builds used car dealer software for independent dealers across the United States: an inventory feed that updates itself, an inventory portal the owner runs, one inbox for every lead, and a finance and collections book off paper. It works alongside the dealer management system you already have, and the data stays in your name.
The plumbing
An inventory feed that runs when your inventory changes
Social Agencies reads the export your DMS or listing site already produces and rebuilds your inventory from it, so the cars online match the cars on the lot by design, not by discipline.
A feed on a timer can quietly stop and leave an old price live. Ours is triggered by the inventory changing and raises an alarm if it has not updated when it should have.
The parts
Five pieces, one database
Take the piece you need now. They work on their own and work best together.

Inventory portal
Add a car, upload photos, set the price and publish it live yourself.
-
Lead inbox
Website, listing-site and Facebook leads in one list, de-duplicated and tagged by car.
-
Finance and collections book
Every deal, payment and past-due account on one screen, with statements from the records.
-
Inspection reports
A report per car, recorded once and kept with the vehicle.
-
Photo desk
Photos taken, ordered and attached to the right car without a laptop.
Independent dealership
Dartbooks runs Dart Motors' in-house finance book.
Every deal, payment and past-due account on one live screen. Payments are reconciled against the deals, and statements come from the records rather than being typed by hand.
Premium pre-owned
Autocrat Motors runs its own inventory, photos and prices.
Social Agencies built Autocrat Motors an inventory portal the owner runs himself: he adds a car, uploads the photos and publishes it to the storefront, with no agency in the loop.
Why us
Why dealers build their back office with Social Agencies
- 01
We touch the money
Many dealer tools push inventory and supply a website but leave the in-house finance book on paper or a spreadsheet. Social Agencies runs the book beside the inventory and the leads, on one database.
- 02
Built around your lot
Social Agencies builds for how your dealership already works, not a workflow you have to bend to. You start with the job you are losing money on.
- 03
Alongside, not instead
If your current DMS holds years of history, the sensible first step is to build alongside it and connect the two. We will say plainly if a migration is not worth it.
- 04
Your data, your account
The database is registered to your dealership. You can export it any day without asking, and if you leave, you change the passwords and carry on.
The Social Agencies method
How does working with Social Agencies work?
- 01
Discover
A short call about your business, where inquiries come from today and where they get lost.
- 02
Plan and quote
A written plan and a fixed, itemized quote. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
- 03
Build
You get a live preview link from early on and watch it take shape, instead of waiting for a reveal.
- 04
Launch and grow
It goes live on accounts in your name, then we host, support and keep improving it every month.
Frequently asked questions
Does it include a car dealership CRM?
The lead inbox does the job a car dealership CRM does for most used car dealers. Every inquiry from Cars.com, CarGurus, Facebook Marketplace and the website lands in one list, de-duplicated and saved against the exact car, so your team sees who asked about what and when.
Can I load and edit my own inventory without calling an agency?
Yes. An inventory portal lets you add a car, upload the photos, set the price and publish it to your website yourself, live. Autocrat Motors runs its inventory this way.
Who owns the data?
You do. The data sits in a database registered to your dealership, and you can export it any day without asking us.
Do I have to use your website to use the software?
No. The software can stand on its own. It works best when the website, the leads and the book share one database, but you can start with the part that hurts most.
Will it replace my current dealer management system?
Sometimes, and often it should not. If your current DMS holds years of history, Social Agencies will usually build alongside it and connect the two. You get a plain answer on which route makes sense before anything is quoted.
Can the software decode a VIN?
Yes, it can be connected to vehicle data. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) runs a free public VIN decoder, vPIC, and Social Agencies builds the connection so a car's basic details fill in from its VIN.
How is dealer software priced?
Each project is quoted on its scope, because an inventory portal and a finance book are different sizes of job. Social Agencies puts a fixed price on it before anything is built.
