Owl Automotive Consulting was instrumental in the Hudson Automotive Groups transitioning all our dealerships to CDK with a standard chart of accounts, standardaccounting setups, and standard job profiles. Their industry-wide knowledge of all areas of our industry proved to be a great asset in our standardization process. Many OWL Associates contributed to our set-ups and the project management, not only providing us with guidance but also keeping us on track with regards to meeting required deadlines.
I can honestly say they were the glue that held it together as we transitioned to CDK and continued to acquire dealerships.
Dealer Management System (DMS) user setup and security is often viewed as a "set it and forget it" area. Dealerships typically rely on the initial setup of their user roles for the entire lifespan of their system. However, as technology evolves, so do the functions that users need access to within the DMS. When was the last time your dealership reviewed its User Security? If it's been a while, it might be time to consider a DMS User Security cleanup. Regularly updating and auditing user roles and permissions can help ensure that your system remains secure and efficient. In this post, you will find ways to ensure that your DMS User Security is up to date and vulnerabilities are minimized.
As we kick off 2025, OWL Automotive Consulting encourages automotive dealerships to prioritize cybersecurity in the new year. With increasing online activity and sensitive customer data flowing through dealership systems, it's vital to enhance security measures. Start by conducting a thorough security audit, applying any necessary patches, and addressing system vulnerabilities. Protect customer data through encryption and compliance with industry standards. Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to secure access, and ensure employees use secure VPNs for remote work. Regularly monitor payment systems for fraud, train staff to recognize phishing, and enforce strict access controls. Back up critical data, secure your website from cyber threats, and establish an incident response plan. OWL offers expert support to help dealerships strengthen their cybersecurity, ensuring a safe and successful 2025. Let's make this year your dealership's safest yet!
