Tekion has developed a cloud-native platform designed specifically for the automotive retail industry. Its main product is a Dealer Management System (DMS) that utilizes technologies like Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Machine Learning (ML) to improve the operations of car dealerships. This platform provides a centralized view and performance metrics for dealership groups, allowing for better management and increased operational efficiency. 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.
