The challenge

What franchise dealers are up against.

01

Independents are taking service share

Franchise stores lose service-retention ground year over year. Systematic lifecycle outreach brings customers back to your drive instead of the shop down the road.

02

Tool sprawl across the rooftop

DMS, CRM, ad vendors, website, phones — franchise stores juggle a dozen systems that don't talk. Our stack layers on and connects, rather than adding another silo.

03

Every department carries a target

Sales, service, F&I, parts, and accessories all need to perform. Retention, finance, and accessory tools lift revenue across all of them from the customers you already have.

Why franchise dealers choose Vicimus

Compare approaches, not features.

Most franchise stores can buy every one of these capabilities somewhere — from an enterprise suite, or from a shelf of point vendors. What’s rare is getting all of them from a partner that connects the reporting, knows the retail automotive business, and answers for the result.

Illustrative comparison prepared by Vicimus and current as of 2026. Cox Automotive is a category leader whose retail brands — including Dealer.com, VinSolutions, Xtime, and Dealertrack — are strong in their own right, and marks here reflect our reading of each vendor’s core productized offering rather than what can be assembled through partners, integrations, or third-party add-ons. “Typical vendor mix” describes a stack stitched together from separate point vendors, agencies, website providers, and software companies; no specific vendor is described, and every dealership’s mix differs. The contrast drawn here is about breadth, integration, and single-point accountability, not the quality of any individual tool. Product lineups change — if anything here is out of date, tell us and we’ll correct it.
