Florida Dealer Consultants

What Florida Dealer Consultants does

Florida Dealer Consultants, doing business as Integrated Dealer Solutions, is a privately held software provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Miami Springs, Florida. The company builds and sells a web-based dealer management system (DMS) branded Advanced Car Dealer Manager, targeted at independent car dealerships in Florida. The DMS handles inventory, deal paperwork automation, financing compliance, temp tag printing, and buy-here-pay-here collections, with codified Florida-specific regulatory logic such as APR validation, salesperson credit checks, and state-conforming finance contract templates. The firm claims a deal can be completed in roughly five minutes and a new salesperson can be productive within 30 minutes of training.

The product suite is broader than the DMS and includes Florida ETR (a Florida DHSMV-certified electronic temporary registration service for temp tags and metal plate transfers, operating since 2008), dealer websites via the Dealer Jump partnership (with automatic inventory syndication to 11-plus marketplaces including Autotrader, Cars.com, Craigslist, Facebook, eBay, iSeeCars, Trovit, Mitula, OVE, Geebo, Yakaz, and VAST), and USA ELT (electronic lien and title). The company positions itself as the direct developer of each product with no outsourcing.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring monthly subscriptions (DMS at $100-$299 per month tiered by computer count, with multi-lot discounts; dealer websites at $50-$100 per month plus a $250 setup fee), transaction-based fees on temp tags ($4 per printed tag, $2 per blank stock), and ancillary ETR and ELT services. GTM is sales-led with a direct-to-consumer self-serve trial option, phone-based sales (888-675-7477), and bilingual English/Spanish support. The firm is a member of FIADA and NIADA and holds no disclosed external funding, parent company, or management team information.
