Running a dealership is fast, detailed, and unforgiving. Sales teams hustle. Service is nonstop. Payroll has to be right the first time. And if you’re using Reynolds & Reynolds as your DMS, your entire operation depends on clean data and smooth handoffs between systems.
That’s where Netchex fits in.
Netchex is the leading choice among thousands of dealerships across the nation. Netchex gives dealerships simple, powerful payroll and HR software built for how teams actually work. It handles commissions, draws, guarantees, and flat-rate pay with precision. And it gives your people a clean, intuitive system they’ll actually use. And when you connect Netchex with Reynolds, everything runs smoother with less manual effort. See why Netchex is the best solution for Reynolds & Reynolds dealerships.
What Reynolds & Reynolds Brings to the Table
Reynolds & Reynolds is the operational core for many dealerships. It keeps sales, service, parts, and F&I aligned under one DMS.
But payroll and HR?
Those require a different level of flexibility, clarity, and day-to-day control, especially when you’re dealing with multiple rooftops, dozens of pay plans, tight deadlines, and compliance requirements that never take a day off.
That’s where a dedicated people platform like Netchex makes a real difference.
The Dealership Payroll Reality
Automotive payroll is its own universe. Between flat-rate hours, spiffs, commissions, bonuses, guarantees, and multi-department complexity, even small errors create big month-end headaches.
And when payroll tools aren’t designed around dealership workflows, teams end up:
- Re-keying data
- Double-checking numbers that should have been right
- Dealing with slow, outdated systems
- Closing the books later than they should
Dealerships need a payroll system that moves as fast as their people and eliminates the workarounds they’ve been asked to tolerate.
How Netchex Works with Reynolds
Netchex offers data integration with Reynolds & Reynolds, giving dealerships a clean, consistent way to bring essential payroll information into Netchex without manual re-entry.
What that means for your team:
- Cleaner imports
- Fewer errors
- Consistent payroll prep across rooftops
- Stronger alignment between payroll and accounting
- Less time chasing down mismatched numbers
It’s a simple connection that solves a not-so-simple workload problem.
Built for the Realities of Dealership Work
Netchex was built for industries that juggle hourly and salaried teams, high complexity, and constant movement. Dealerships fit that mold exactly.
Here’s what dealerships rely on:
Payroll that handles every pay plan you throw at it
Commissions. Flat rate. Spiffs. Draws. Retro pay.
Netchex manages it with the accuracy and clarity teams need to close out the month without stress.
Tools your team actually uses
No clutter. No confusing screens.
Just clean, intuitive software designed for speed because no one in a dealership has time to battle a system.
Better visibility into what’s happening
Netchex Insights shows labor costs, overtime trends, turnover patterns, and workforce data in ways that help you make faster, smarter decisions without digging for reports.
A platform that adapts to every part of the dealership
Service techs, F&I, sales teams, office staff, part-timers, multi-store groups—Netchex handles them all without forcing you to change the way you already work.
Why Dealerships Running Reynolds Don’t Just Use the DMS Payroll Add-On
Reynolds is an exceptional DMS, but in our experience the built-in payroll & HR tools can’t always keep up with the full employee lifecycle. As dealerships grow, the cracks tend to show, especially when teams need more automation, flexibility, and engagement tools. Here’s where Netchex stands apart:
1. A true HCM platform and not an add-on
Hiring, onboarding, time, payroll, benefits, engagement, and insights all work together.
Nothing feels bolted on or stitched together.
2. Flexibility if your DMS changes
Dealerships switch DMS providers more often than people realize.
Netchex remains steady through every transition, with no payroll rebuild required.
3. A modern experience your team won’t fight
Employees adopt Netchex quickly because it’s simple.
Admins don’t need cheat sheets.
Techs can clock in, view hours, and access details from their phone.
4. Tools that actually reduce workload
Automated workflows, smart scheduling, AskHR, Earned Wage Access, and employee self-service take pressure off the office, especially during end-of-month and year-end crunches.
5. Insights that help you run a tighter operation
Controllers and HR teams get a clearer view of labor costs, staffing trends, overtime spikes, and turnover patterns.
Better information, better decisions.
What Happens When You Pair Reynolds + Netchex
You get the best of both worlds:
- A powerful DMS running your sales and service engine
