Upgrade From Traditional Dms

The next-gen dealership management platform designed to drive growth

Traditional DMS systems are clunky, hardware-heavy, and forever a step behind–costing you margin and time. Blackpurl 2 is different: cloud-native, common-sense, and built to grow with you.

Available for use on any computer, tablet, or phone with next-generation ease of use, Blackpurl helps the same team get more done in a week. It’s more connectable too–best-in-class integrations with mainstream platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, and Shopify complement connections with industry websites, price lists, and other software platforms.

Choose the best software platform for growth

There’s nothing ideal about traditional DMS

  • Hard to learn, harder to love
    1990s menus, weeks of training, constant work-arounds.
  • Slow & painful to deploy
    months-long implementation projects, consultant day-rates, and staff downtime.
  • Fragmented departments
    sales, service, and parts live in disconnected silos.
  • Outdated business model
    mandatory hardware bundle, pay-by-module pricing, hefty upgrade fees, surprise maintenance costs, and paywalls on your own data restrict growth options.
  • Inevitable re-platform
    installing an already-outdated DMS means you face an upgrade to a cloud-native platform not too far into your future.

Whether you’re still wrestling with EverLogic, Lightspeed, DX1, Ideal, Commander, BiT—or even a home-grown setup—the pain is the same: dated screens, hard-to-learn processes, surprise fees, locked-down data, and hardware headaches that leak profit until you upgrade.

The Blackpurl 2 solution

  • Mobile-friendly & flexible
    built for the cloud; log in from any browser on any device.
  • Fast activation
    Four-week guided Activation with a convenient switch-over.
  • Common-sense interface
    Simplified process for quotes, sales, and work orders.
  • Unified across departments
    Sales, Parts, and Service transactions feel similar and may be combined.
  • Complete workspaces for each function
    Sales, Parts, Service, Ordering, and Admin–each with everything you need for daily work.
  • Use the gear you already own
    PCs, Macs, iPads, Chromebooks; barcode scanners plug-and-play.
  • Real-time & transparent
    Live dashboards, margin visibility, instant GL posting.
  • Integrations that matter
    Including QuickBooks Online, Xero, DealerSpike, Kenect, and vendor price files—with expanded API access coming soon.
  • Your data, your rules
    Unlimited CSV/Excel exports. If you can see the view, you can export it.

Why we built
Blackpurl 2

Dealership software should feel like a tool–not a hurdle. Our founders ran parts counters, service bays, and sales floors before writing a single line of code.

Our mission:

Put dealers first

No paywalls on your own data, no surprise upgrade fees.

Design for doers

Every click earns its keep; common-sense Workspaces mirror real-life workspaces. Most importantly, the platform proactively displays what you need to see.

Future-proof your business

Frequent regular updates and expansions, growing list of integrations, and a dealer-led roadmap keep you ahead of what’s next.

That philosophy drives every release, every support call, and every detail you’ll see on this page.

Connect into the industry

Connect your dealership into time-saving integrations with website providers, parts suppliers, software providers, and manufacturers–enabling your team to grow faster.

I've used Lightspeed, Windward, and other dealership software, and now I use Blackpurl.

Ditch proprietary accounting

Traditional DMS vendors love to brag about their “built-in” accounting. On paper they promise everything you need – but in practice they lock you into aging software, costly specialists, and a dead-end tech stack.

What proprietary accounting claims to offer:

  • Real-time posting.
  • Secure, closed database.
  • Fast journal entries.
  • Built-in transparency.

What it actually costs you:

  • Expensive license + upgrade fees.
  • That hard-to-find accountant who knows the workflow.
  • Windows-only desktops, VPN headaches.
  • Few or no plug-in options for payroll, expenses, or BI.
  • Feature lag as mainstream platforms leave it behind.

The Blackpurl alternative: QuickBooks Online & Xero, fully integrated

  • Blackpurl 2 keeps every pillar the legacy guys advertise.
  • Real-time.
  • Secure.
  • Fast.
  • Transparent and layers on the advantages only a world-class cloud platform can deliver.

Mainstream cloud accounting wins

  • Cost-efficient – any bookkeeper already knows QBO/Xero.
  • Flexible GL, custom reports, multi-entity support.
  • Device-agnostic – check your P&L on a phone, tablet, or Mac.
  • 800 + marketplace apps for payroll, expenses, and BI.
  • Continuous innovation – #1 accounting platforms in each served region.
  • Two-way sync posts deals, POs, and payments instantly.
