Automotive dealers looking for a platform to sell more cars

About eraPower

Pentana Solutions understands that reducing profit leaks is a key area of interest for many automotive dealers. The functionality within eraPower’s showroom software allows this very thing by eliminating calculation errors on luxury car tax, GST, registration costs and stamp duty. When calculating deal pricing eraPower assists sales team members by doing calculations for them and locking them down so they can’t be changed. Furthermore, eraPower’s showroom software will ensure vehicle pricing is automatically entered and maintained in sync with manufacturers monthly or weekly, on top of this margins are kept up to date within eraPower via feeds on work scheduled or required from the service department. Furthermore, dealership management can set minimum margin levels which ensures profit leaks are managed right from the get-go.

    "Horrible software to use"

    Posted 2025-07-22

    Pros: Nothing. It is a convoluted, badly laid out, old fashioned maze of a software package. It is not built for humans

    Cons: Not at all user friendly, buggy, overly complicated, extremely difficult to learn, poorly laid out, you need to remember hundreds of codes to get around it,

    Overall: I hate this software. It's so bad I would recommend using an Excel spreadsheet before recommending this software.

    "Constantly Drops Out"

    Posted 2025-03-20

    Pros: I like the ease of use of the product. Easy to navigate, user friendly and a great DMS for any dealership to use.

    Cons: It constantly drops out and glitches. Its not an issue at our end as we have investigated that. you will click on an icon or be part way through costing an RO and it will freeze up. It will ask if you want to wait or continue and sometimes after a moment or two it will completely drop out the entire program and you will need to restart it. Also when there is to many users is goes super slow.

    Overall: Great DMS but to many glitches/bugs. Some days it will be great but when you have a customer in front of you and your trying to perform a task and the whole eraPower system fails on you, it embarrassing to yourself and the business
