Lou Pedler didn't start in software. He started at the parts counter. From parts associate to parts manager, service manager, and general manager across multiple rooftops, Lou spent years living inside the dealership before transitioning to the software side, first with Zios, then DX1, and now ZiiDMS.In this episode, Lou and Jacob dig deep into what dealerships are actually getting out of their DMS, and more importantly, what they are leaving on the table.

They sell more, waste less, and run tighter operations.What we cover:Why the DMS should be the nucleus of your entire tech stackThe most underused features in dealership management softwareHow to use your DMS as an intelligence platform, not just accounting softwareRFID physical inventory — how to count $250K in parts in under 15 minutesMulti-rooftop dealership challenges and how ZiiDMS handles themThe customer data goldmine sitting in your DMS right nowAI and where dealership software is headed in the next 2-5 yearsRapid fire: the one report every GM should pull on Monday morningIf you run a powersports or motorcycle dealership and you're not fully leveraging your DMS, this episode is the reset you need.Watch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Lou: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/lou-pedler-21486b37/⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠Sponsor: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠
