“We are excited to partner with Hyundai Auto Canada in providing the first end-to-end digital retail solution and an industry-leading DMS to their network of Canadian dealerships,” said Brian MacDonald, president and chief executive officer, CDK Global. “Hyundai dealers in Canada will soon be equipped with the tools to help deliver a consistent brand experience and a streamlined vehicle shopping, buying and owning journey for consumers, while bringing more efficiency to their operations.”
In early 2023, CDK will become a preferred DMS technology partner, offering the CDK Drive DMS Canada Essential Package with F&I integration for Hyundai Auto Canada Auto retailers. The DMS package will “encompass predictive digital service with telematics integration, dealer performance metrics and insights, two-way data sharing and comprehensive Hyundai dealer support”.
