Tekion differentiates itself from competitors by being the first and fastest cloud-native DMS available, and it integrates seamlessly with major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) at no extra cost. The company's goal is to enhance dealership efficiency, profitability, and customer experience through its subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, which also includes additional services to help dealerships identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities.
