PowerPro DMS supports two database back-ends:

bulletThe Native Database is great for 1 to 25 User Shops
bullet Microsoft SQLServer Database, which can handle Hundreds of Users and Multiple Locations

With PowerPro DMS, you're path to future expansion is uninhibited.  Most dealerships fall within the 1 to 25 user category.  However, if you have 40, or 100, or 1,000 users, PowerPro DMS coupled with Microsoft's SQLServer Database is a solid and highly scalable solution that can meet the most demanding needs!

PowerPro DMS includes User Manuals for each area as well as comprehensive On-Line Help, Training Videos and Business Process Flow Diagrams for quick answers to your questions.

Included in the price is your choice of initial price files (subject to availability and authorization).  Additionally, you will receive up to 3 complimentary F&I forms.

The monthly Assurance and Support Fee starts around $100.00 and increases based on number of users.  All publicly-released system upgrades are included with the Monthly Assurance fee.

To ensure a smooth implementation, we offer additional services including On-Site Installation and Training, On-going Technical Support, Price File Support, Data Migration Services, and Custom F&I Forms.

Our Technical Support Staff will be glad to assist you with selecting the right computer hardware, barcode scanners, printers, and cash drawers.  If you have existing equipment, we can help determine if it will be sufficient to run PowerPro.  PowerPro does not require high-end computers.  Except for the server, a Pentium 4 with 500M of RAM or higher is fine.

Let PowerPro help take your dealership to
The Next Level!
