| CDK Global | Legacy | Autoline Drive DMS | Dealership Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2016 | 2017 |
In 2016, Sere Motors switched to CDK Global Autoline Drive DMS to improve lead management and customer contact processes across its retail and aftersales operations. The implementation targeted Sere Motors retail franchises for Seat, Mitsubishi and SsangYong, the company’s aftersales franchises for Fiat and Renault, and a used car supermarket, covering two physical sites in Belfast and Lisburn, and a customer database of more than 41,000 records, with a turnover of £45 million in 2016.
The deployment emphasized Autoline Drive DMS capabilities in Dealership Management for lead capture, customer contact orchestration and campaign-driven communications, specifically configuring workflows for ownership cycle touchpoints such as service and MOT reminders, anniversary communications and special offers. Drive was used to consolidate customer contact processes and to support expansion of the used car operation, with configuration work focused on data hygiene and automated customer outreach modules.
CDK Global worked closely with Sere Motors on installation activities, conducting detailed reviews of database interactions and dealership processes before cutover. Sere Motors spent nine months preparing and cleansing the customer database and aligning processes, the cutover to Autoline Drive DMS took one week, the system required three months of stabilization to run smoothly, and it took three years for all modules to become fully functional across the estate.
Governance during rollout included joint process reviews and staged configuration validation to align sales and aftersales workflows with the Dealership Management application. The program centered on process alignment, data governance and phased module adoption to ensure customer contact automation and lead management features were operational across both sites and all franchise operations.
