- Modern Retail Integrations—Through the bi-directional integration of CDK Roadster, CDK Elead and the Document Cloud product suite, CDK has digitized the end-to-end workflow—from inventory merchandising all the way through contracting—creating the first true Modern Retail experience in the automotive retail market. These new connections help make dealership personnel more efficient and reduce friction in the sales process by eliminating duplicate leads and the need to rekey information across systems.

CDK Drive also provides additional flexibility to dealers in making secure supplier payments with the introduction of Virtual Card Payments, a Fortellis integration that brings fast, secure and convenient payment options to dealers.
- Wholesale Marketplace Launch—CDK CarSource is a new online wholesale marketplace that connects dealers to used vehicle inventories nationwide through a seamless integration with CDK Drive. It enables automated inventory listings to the marketplace from a large, trusted network of actively governed and screened sellers nationwide. It also allows all dealers—including those using other dealer management systems—to search and bid on vehicles at no cost.
