Enterprise DMS That Grows With You
Lightyear is the only enterprise-grade DMS platform built by dealers, for dealers. Streamline operations, enable centralized workflows, and deliver a modern customer experience—all from a secure, cloud-based solution trusted by the industry’s top groups.
Lightyear is built to help you:
Run Smarter Operations
Centralized workflows reduce duplication, improve accuracy, and support hybrid or remote teams—so your operation runs as one, not in silos.
Gain Total Financial Clarity
Enterprise-grade accounting gives you real-time insight from the rooftop, store, or transaction level. Combine that with a single name file and cleaner data, and every report becomes a decision-making tool.
Adapt on Your Terms
Whether you’re managing a single store or a multi-rooftop group, Lightyear flexes with your tech stack, providers, and goals. It’s your data, your way.
Deliver a Seamless Customer Experience
From mobile check-in to digital eSigning, Lightyear keeps the customer journey smooth and modern—without requiring bolt-ons or extra tools.
Most DMS platforms are rigid, outdated, and built to lock you in. Lightyear is different—built to scale with your business, not hold it back.
