A Marine Dealership Management Solution that’s Different & Better

Tired of outdated software that’s slow and cumbersome?

Us too. That’s why we created Blackpurl – the cloud-based dealership management software that’s fast, easy to use, and mobile friendly. You can connect it to your other best-in-class technology like a cloud based accounting solution like Quicbooks Online, a digital payment processor like preferred payments, and you eCommerce store powered by Shopify. There are no activation costs and getting setup takes only a few weeks, not months.

Is Blackpurl a Marine DMS?

In a traditional sense no, Blackpurl is not a Marine DMS. Here’s why.

It runs on the cloud, not on an onsite server.
It’s built on Salesforce not something that looks like windows 95.
It’s as easy to use as youtube, google, or your other favorite apps.

Imagine having all the power of a top-of-the-line dealership management software system at your fingertips – without any of the hassles or outlandish costs of traditional DMS. With Blackpurl, that’s what you get.
