A complete, independent view of your dealership data.
DMSbackups is the application dealers use to search offline backup data. It synchronizes dealership data daily, makes all available fields searchable, supports record and document export, and stores copies on locally controlled detachable media.
DMSbackups synchronizes dealership information from the primary DMS, organizes it for rapid retrieval, and preserves associated records, documents, and media in a locally controlled backup environment.
One connected system
From DMS source to locally controlled retrieval, DMSbackups links synchronization, indexing, and access in a single operational environment.
