„In 1986 we bought a software called RV Soft. It was later acquired by

IDS and I believe we were the second dealer to make the transition

from RV Soft to IDS. At the time, I told my dad he was nuts because it

cost a decent amount of money. In hindsight, it was the best decision

we’ve ever made. The software has continued to grow with us. We

were able to easily implement IDS into our second store and we

haven’t missed a beat.

Darrin Abel, GeneralManager

RV General Store

„When I joined RV General Store in 2009, there really was no DMS.

There was an older, un-supported system and the accounting was

done on QuickBooks. The IDS Astra G2 has simplified our work flow,

which has made us more efficient. The IDS DMS is not a system we

are going to outgrow. It isa system that grows with us.

„IDS Astra G2 is light years ahead of Systems 2000. The product is

backed by good tech support that listens to our needs and helps keep

our dealership running at a high level of efficiency.

„We’ve been using IDS since 1993. With the ever changing demands of

our business, they’ve been great in updating the product to suit our

needs and we highly value the partnership we’ve been able to

establish through the years.


Bob Smith, ServiceManager

RV World of Yuma

„G2 has been evolving very positively. The delivery calendar, job

scheduler, and customer reports have made a huge impact in our

day-to-day operations. With the mobile app, we have the ability to

access work orders, add warranty photos, and take digital customer

signatures. We are very excited to see what the future holds as this

system evolves and more features are added.



http://www.ids-astra.com/expert-advice/customer-stories/rv-world-of-yuma

„A major reason we looked at IDS was due to the volume of transactions

and the interaction between sales, service and parts. We didn’t feel

our current provider could handle the level we needed.

„Before using IDS, we had one system in Accounting, and another for

Parts and Service that were not tied together at all. We were spending

too much time taking information that was in one database and

entering it into the other. Our systems consolidated nicely with IDS,

which eliminated inconsistencies we used to have by running two

different databases.

„We belong to two Spader 20 groups and I recommend IDS all the time

because it’s just so integrated. I’ve watched a lot of dealers stumble

with various software systems and waste a lot of time and money to

fight battles. Once you take the first couple months to get going on

IDS, there are minimal hassles after that. You don’t need anything

else.

Garth Bromley,Owner

Chad Goedken,Owner

„A lot of double entries havebeen eliminated in all departments. When we

receive service calls we can pull up existing customer information to put on

the work order and also track all work orders based on the customer

number. There’s no more digging through file cabinets or boxes for previous

work orders. It’s great being able to keep the whole sales process in one

system from quote to a finalized deal. The parts processing has been great.

Being able to go through the whole process from receiving the part to the

integration between the service and the parts department for the parts

associated with ROs saves time.

„IDS Astra software has literally shown us how much time and money

we wasted trying to reconcile different departments. We have actually

freed-up two employees to do other things. You just can’t know how

much waste is in your company operations until you have a tool that

points it out. It was kind of shocking, but that kind of detail is what we

needed in order to grow.

„By having a customer footprint throughout the entire dealership, our

sales staff gains an immediate advantage. If someone brings their RV

in for repair and decides it’s not worth fixing, sales has that visibility

and can assist them. It really brings all areas of our dealership

together and drives our success.

„The program is so robust and covers such a wide scope of my business

that it’s hard to pin it down to any one area. Certainly the inventory

management, turns in the parts department, and being able to have a

good measurement in the service department are key. I really like

how the dashboard gives me a glance of what we’re doing. It’s a

wealth of information. FI Point is also a great tool. The reason I’m

still with IDS is because it includes so many good tools that enable

my business to succeed.

„I love that the reports in G2 give you the ability to see what’s going on

throughout the entire dealership. Everything from all departments is

right there in front of you. With those reports, you can find

opportunities to increase income. You can also compare history. As a

dealer, you feel like you have a pretty good idea of what’s going on in

your dealership, but G2’s reports spell out for you exactly what’s

going on.



http://www.ids-astra.com/expert-advice/customer-stories/kentucky-rv-dealership-creates-unlimited-growth-potential-astra-g2-upgrade

„Astra G2’s dashboard really helps me manage my company. I can log

in to my computer and look at sales, service, parts, and have

snapshot of how the dealership is performing on daily, weekly,

monthly basis without using multiple menus and keystrokes. I have

all of the important KPIs on my dashboard that I look at every day and

use to manage the company.

The functionality of G2’s integrated parts and service has given us

more advanced reporting options that provide us with a better

„The concept of checking-in a unit using a mobile app is truly ground-

breaking. Any service we can provide to our customers right on the spot,

without having to go back and forth to a computer, is a huge plus. One of the

features we like best with the mobile app is the ability to take pictures of

RVs, engines, and parts and attach them to specific jobs and warranty

claims. In our business, it’s important to track these images so you have an

ongoing visual history of the unit or part when it enters your dealership. It

avoids a lot of headaches down the road.

„IDS Astra G2 with CRM is the best product out there, and I say that with confidence.

The product has really come a long way and we’re very pleased with it. Having

everything in one system has been the biggest benefit for us. When a lead comes

in, it’s automatically searching your system to see if that customer has already

been at your store and if you’ve previously given pricing out. It’s also searching

your inventory to see if what they are looking for is in stock and readily available.

You don’t have to double-input all of a customer’s information. Everything is

already right there in front of you and that was huge for us.

„IDS CRM takes away a lot of double-entry. When we were working with

a separate system, we’d have somedata in one system and somedata in

another. Now everything is in one system. Since we’ve been on IDS CRM we

found that our email list has grown quickly and much better than it did

when we were operating with two separate systems. I’d say it’s doubled

in the last two years.

„

Managing two nationally-recognized businesses (Rond’s Marine and

Transcona Trailers) is not easy, but IDS seems to have all the right reports

and it really helps us track performance in each dealership.





„We had Lightspeed prior and we were using our parts inventory to manage

the slips. It was tough to keep track of who was in what slip. The IDS

system definitely helps us better manage the marina. I really like the

marina map because I can see my availability at a glance. Also, it’s fairly

easy to use and anyone who can use a PC can learn to use IDS.

„For 10 years, I worked as a director of a large multi-location marine dealership

using your competitor’s platform. Needless to say I became familiar with it, but

never enjoyed using it. I found it to be cumbersome, tedious, non-intuitive and it

was generally aimed at the back office more than the front lines. While it has

taken me some time to fully adopt some of the nuances of IDS, I will say that

throughout the process, your team has been fantastic and the level and speed of

the development is fantastic. It’s easily the most powerful and useable DMS

system I have ever used. It helps us drive profits and I look forward to seeing what

comes next.
