This year’s NIADA 2025 Convention made one thing very clear. Independent Dealers are no longer willing to settle for outdated platforms that were never built with them in mind. They want modern, intuitive tools that fit how they actually run their business. And they are ready to make the shift.
Dealer Controlled Solutions showed up at Booth 325 to meet that moment. We did not just demo software. We had real conversations about what it looks like to take control of your dealership’s operations, your portfolio, and your profitability.
From the start of the show, Independent Dealers made it clear. They are done working around legacy systems that were built for franchise operations or large lenders. What they want is dealer-first technology that delivers control, flexibility, and performance. Here is what stood out:
Whether it was reconnecting with long-time partners like Carns-N-Credit, hearing positive feedback from automotive leaders like Sean Kelley, or speaking with first-time visitors who were just learning about DCS, the momentum was real. Dealers came looking for a better way to run their business. And they saw it in action.
Dealer Controlled Solutions is not just another DMS. It is a platform designed for the way Independent Dealers actually work.
If we missed you in Vegas, we still want to connect. There is a better way to manage your dealership, and we are here to show it to you.
