What Lightspeed DMS is

Lightspeed DMS is a dealer management system for powersports, marine, RV and trailer dealers covering unit sales, F&I, parts, service and accounting.

It is comprehensive and correspondingly complex and expensive. Dealers that need it need all of it; shops that only need service or parts will be better served elsewhere.
