CDK Global is a leading provider of software and technology solutions for the automotive retail industry, serving car dealerships and the broader vehicle-retail ecosystem. Headquartered in the United States, CDK became an independent company in 2014 and has long been one of the most important technology providers to automotive dealers, offering the systems that dealerships use to run their businesses. The company employs thousands of people and provides technology used by a large share of car dealers, particularly in North America.
CDK's core offering is the dealer management system (DMS), the software that car dealerships use to manage their operations, including sales, service, parts, inventory, financing and accounting. Around this, the company provides a broad range of additional solutions, such as digital retailing tools that help dealers sell vehicles online, customer-relationship management, and technologies that connect the many participants in the automotive-retail process, including dealers, manufacturers and lenders. By providing the operational backbone for dealerships, CDK plays a central role in how cars are sold and serviced.
The automotive-retail industry is evolving, with growing demand for digital and online car-buying experiences, more connected and data-driven operations, and integration across the vehicle-ownership lifecycle. CDK has worked to modernise its platforms and to help dealers adapt to these changes, including building digital retailing capabilities and integrating its systems more closely. Its technology must handle the complex operations of dealerships reliably, since it underpins critical business processes for its customers.
Operating as a specialist provider to a specific industry, CDK combines deep knowledge of automotive retail with software and technology capabilities. Its systems are mission-critical for dealerships, which rely on them to run day-to-day operations, making reliability, security and usability essential. The company maintains engineering and operations teams that build and support its platforms.
For technology professionals, CDK Global offers the opportunity to work on industry-specific software used by a large share of car dealerships, spanning software engineering, cloud and platform development, data and integration, and digital retailing technology. Engineers work on systems that run the operations of dealerships and connect the automotive-retail ecosystem, where reliability and usability are essential.
Because its dealer management and retailing systems are so deeply embedded in how dealerships operate, CDK occupies a central position in the North American automotive-retail ecosystem, connecting dealers, manufacturers, lenders and other participants. Maintaining and modernising these mission-critical systems, while adding new digital-retailing and data capabilities, makes for demanding and impactful engineering work.
