Why Modern Retail?

Supporting today's needs

CDK Roadster's Express Storefront digital sales platform meets customers where they are — online, in store or as they switch between the two. It also features remote selling and showroom tools that enable dealers to sell more efficiently online and in store.

Connecting dealers' systems

Our Modern Retail suite connects Roadster Express Storefront, Elead CRM and Desking, and CDK Document Cloud into one integrative solution. It gives your team the flexibility to work out of any system, and the information will automatically update in the other systems and make its way back to the customer — without rekeying it. This creates a faster, more seamless workflow from online to instore to contracting, making it easier to buy AND easier to sell.
