Our very own Red Falcon and DDMSPLUS are industry-specific ERP solutions designed to address these challenges head-on, providing a comprehensive platform to streamline operations, boost growth, and stay competitive.

Streamlined operations and enhanced efficiency

Without an industry specific ERP, your dealership might struggle with fragmented data and inefficient processes . This might open the door to:

• Wasted time: Manual data entry and repetitive tasks waste your valuable time.
• Errors and inconsistencies: Disconnected systems increase the risk of errors and inconsistencies.
• Poor decision-making: Lack of real-time data hinders informed decision-making.
• Missed opportunities: Inability to quickly adapt to market changes creates missed chances for growth.

Red Falcon and DDMSPLUS consolidate all your critical business processes – inventory management, order processing, customer relationship management (CRM), and financials – into a single, integrated system. This eliminates the need for multiple, disconnected software solutions, reducing data silos, redundant data entry, and errors. With real-time data at your fingertips and automated workflows, your team can focus on what matters most – serving customers and growing your business.

Complete visibility

Operating without an industry-specific ERP often means limited visibility into your business. This lack of insight can snowball into:

• Poor inventory management: Stockouts and overstock situations can impact cash flow and customer satisfaction.
• Ineffective marketing and sales strategies: Inability to identify customer trends hurt targeted marketing and sales efforts.
• Reactive decision-making: Limited data makes it difficult to address market changes for the future.

Red Falcon and DDMSPLUS provide real-time insights into every aspect of your business. Gain a clear view of order fulfillment, sales performance, customer trends, and finance. This big-picture visibility empowers you to make data-driven decisions, pin down how to use resources and identify areas for improvement.

Mastering manual workflows

Relying on manual processes can lead to:

• Reduced productivity: Employees spend excessive time on repetitive tasks, hindering overall efficiency.
• Increased errors: Manual data entry leaves room for errors, poor accuracy, and decision-making.
• Higher labor costs: Manual processes require more manpower, driving up labor costs.

Red Falcon and DDMSPLUS automate repetitive tasks like order processing, reporting, and receivables/payables management. This frees up your team to focus on more strategy-based tasks, reduces the risk of errors, and ultimately lowers your operational costs.

Exceptional customer service through integrated CRM

Without an integrated CRM system, managing customer interactions can be cumbersome. This could pave the way for:

• Slow response times: Difficulty accessing customer information leads to delayed responses and decreased customer satisfaction.
• Missed opportunities: Inability to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities can result in lost revenue.
• Negative customer reviews: Poor customer service can damage your reputation and drive customers away.

Red Falcon and DDMSPLUS include robust CRM capabilities to manage customer interactions effectively. Access comprehensive customer data to personalize service, respond to inquiries promptly, and build stronger relationships. This focus on customer satisfaction translates to increased customer loyalty and repeat business.

Scalable solutions to support your growth

A non-scalable ERP can quickly become a bottleneck to your growth. This has the potential to result in:

• Disruption and downtime: Implementing a new ERP system to accommodate growth can be disruptive and time-consuming.
• Increased costs: Replacing or heavily customizing a non-scalable ERP can be expensive.
• Lost opportunities: Inability to adapt your ERP to new product lines or locations can hinder your ability to capitalize on growth opportunities.

As your business expands, your ERP needs to grow with you. Red Falcon and DDMSPLUS are cloud-based, scalable solutions that adapt easily to your changing needs. Add users, locations, or new product lines as you expand your operations, ensuring your ERP remains valuable for years

• Higher operational costs: Inefficiencies and manual labor associated with outdated systems can erode your margins.

• Frustration and delays: Generic support may not effectively address your needs, leading to frustration and delays in resolving issues.
