NORFOLK, Va. -

Dominion Dealer Solutions announced Tuesday that Dominion ACCESS, the company’s Windows-based dealership management system, is now a fully integrated partner of the Toyota DMS Integration Program.

Toyota’s Dealer Daily Open Access (DDOA) program integrates with Dominion ACCESS through live, secure communications across multiple departments, including F&I, service and accounting. The DDOA interface, developed based on the Standards for Technology in Automotive Retail (STAR), is available to Toyota dealerships nationwide with the exception of GST and SET Toyota dealers.

“The integration between Dominion ACCESS and Toyota DDOA lets us provide another cost-effective solution to Toyota dealerships,” said Van Koppersmith, the president of Dominion DMS for Dominion Dealer Solutions. “We were very pleased to work with our existing customers, helping to streamline their operations, during the development process and look forward to forming long relationships with additional Toyota and Lexus dealers in the near future.”

Jerry York, dealer principal at York’s of Houlton in Maine, commented on his first-hand experiences with the DMS.

“We are a long-time ACCESS customer and have been very pleased with the ease of use, customer-friendly screens and personal customer service,” York said. 

York added: “The recent integration of Toyota has only enhanced our enthusiasm for Dominion ACCESS. It has saved us double-entry time in the parts department, warranty claims administration area, and financial statement processing. I’m especially happy to see that Dominion is continuing to make improvements to the software, ensuring a competitive DMS product for the foreseeable future.”
