“We understand the value of data and the real need to provide dealers and the industry with better business intelligence tools so they can react to an ever-changing market. DealerBuilt was built for dealers by dealers to solve their pain points and frustrations with DMS providers. That commitment remains as true today as it was when we first started back in 2008. These are exciting times for the future of DealerBuilt and our dealers. And this is just the beginning of our expansion plans. With this acquisition, we further strengthen our commitment to our customers and this industry to deliver impactful solutions,” said Mike Trasatti, DealerBuilt CEO.

It standardizes a dealer’s Google Analytics account, measuring data on an “apples to apples” comparison. The platform takes data points from multiple sources, layers them together, and creates a condensed view. This exposes blind spots and opportunities to improve the dealer’s marketing performance. The platform is in high- demand and has quickly grown from five hundred rooftops to over 2700 over the past three years.
DealerBuilt’s DMS is a modern, highly customizable platform that can be precisely tailored to a dealership’s unique business processes and enterprise transaction and reporting requirements.

“With our strong growth, this is a much better alignment for Vistadash. This acquisition will continue to strengthen our expansion and the actionable insights we provide dealers so they can make meaningful decisions for their business expansion and profitability.
