But Blackpurl’s new cloud-based platform features simple tools and best practice workflows to help your team become more efficient and productive every time they use it. Blackpurl’s dealership management system is mobile too, so it’s easy to use wherever you are.

Blackpurl also provides training videos and documentation to guide you every step of the way and access to 24/7 help and advice if you need it.
It can when it’s in the cloud!

So wherever you are you’re doing business, with the ability to access and manage every aspect of your dealership from any mobile device.
Cloud-based systems can be accessed from any connected device or native app, so you can literally run your dealership from the palm of your hand.
All information across all departments is stored safely in the cloud, meaning you and your team can work seamlessly together, whether you’re at home, in a meeting or on the sales floor with a customer.

And that’s why Blackpurl’s cloud-based dealership management system has a strong focus on delivering a great customer experience.
By giving your team the tools to provide your existing client base with timely and attentive service, you can be sure of consistent repeat business and positive word of mouth about your dealership.
