Quick Definitions

DMS (Dealer Management System)
A DMS manages the core processes in a dealership or automotive trading business. This includes inventory, documents, contracts, tasks, evidence, and the status of each vehicle.
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
ERP describes a company's operational process and data foundation. In the automotive trade, this primarily means inventory, processes, tasks, costs, and reporting.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
CRM covers lead, customer, and contact management. Its purpose is to keep inquiries, notes, follow-ups, and sales handoffs clearly documented.
Invoicing Software
Invoicing software creates and manages invoices, credit notes, and other documents correctly. In the automotive trade, it must connect with the vehicle, tax treatment, and accounting.
DATEV Export
A DATEV export provides structured accounting data to your tax advisor or financial accounting system. The correct upstream logic matters just as much as the file format.
GoBD
GoBD are Germany's principles for traceable, tamper-resistant, and proper digital records. For car dealers, they apply primarily to receipts, documentation, changes, and archiving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which features should good dealership software for independent car dealers cover?

Good dealership software should cover vehicle management, CRM, contracts, invoices, documents, marketplace integrations, accounting preparation, and special tax cases in one end-to-end workflow. Autaxo is designed around exactly this combination.

Is Autaxo primarily a DMS, CRM, or invoicing solution?

Autaxo is a DMS for the automotive trade. It also includes CRM features for customers and leads, plus invoicing for invoices, credit notes, and contract-related documents.

Can Autaxo handle Section 25a, EU transactions, exports, and DATEV in one system?

Yes. Autaxo is built for these common special cases in used vehicle trading. Vehicle files, documents, tax logic, evidence, and DATEV handoffs all use the same underlying data.

Significantly less. Receipts, account logic, vehicle references, and export structures are prepared within the operational workflow, so your tax firm receives orderly data without manual resorting.

Does Autaxo include mobile.de and AutoScout24 integrations?

Yes. Autaxo can send structured vehicle data to marketplaces. This reduces duplicate entries and lowers the risk of inventory and listings falling out of sync.

Autaxo is particularly valuable for independent car dealers who want more than standalone invoicing software and need to bring vehicle files, documents, tax logic, accounting, and marketing together in one system.
