Dealerships throughout Canada and the United States are using Peartree's Dealership Management Software to manage their businesses.

An integrated system is software that is made up of several applications that are mutually accessible at all times. These applications are able to exchange and update data in a consistent and transparent manner. Peartree's Dealership Management Software harnesses the control of an integrated system to provide the most user-friendly, yet powerful dealership management software suite available.
Integrated software reduces duplication of effort. For example, if a part is purchased at your service desk, that purchase generates a change to several applications. Inventory is reduced, an invoice is generated which updates your accounts receivables, and your general ledger tracks the sale of the part. The integration of applications ensures that your information stays accurate and reduces the potential for human error as there is no need for multiple entries.

Our application is fully web-based, and like the web, our application is about making communication and operations easier. Our software uses a familiar and intuitive web page design for ease of use and recognizable appearance.
You can log in to your system from anywhere and from any computer with a connection to the internet. All that is needed is a web browser. Additionally, being web-based allows us to release updates easily to our customers.
