Stay aware of supplier developments with the AM Dealer Technology Guide

The 2025 AM Dealer Technology Guide has now been published for UK car dealers, and it is free to view or download here.

Keeping abreast of technology is a vital part of modern automotive retailing as the demands of customers and staff for rapid and efficient fulfilment only increases.

The annual publication enables UK motor retailers to read about a host of the latest software and hardware available from the UK automotive industry's dedicated suppliers. 

Entries in the 2025 AM Dealer Technology Guide include companies which supply franchised dealerships with aftersales support systems and equipment, CRM and lead management solutions, DMS, AI-supported stock management systems and much more.

IT solutions are part and parcel of 21st century motor retailing and the decision to adopt one system over another will have ramifications for years to come. Understanding what is available in the market is crucial.

Suppliers have been working hard to incorporate artificial intelligence where it will provide great benefits, whether back-of-house doing some of the heavy-lifting administration or directly in front of consumers managing early-stage enquiries.

And while motor retailers tell us there is still work to be done to link up their technology stacks and eradicate inefficiencies such as double-keying and numerous logins, the pages of the AM Dealer Technology Guide show that suppliers clearly understand the importance of seamless integration.

I hope you find it useful for your operational and strategic planning. And don't forget, many of the suppliers will also be at Automotive Management Live on November 12 this year.
