Already Have Tools? Netchex Connects to Them
The full suite lives in one application, so most Serra teams need fewer integrations than they expect. Many Serra stores already run CDK Global, and for the tools you have built around, Netchex connects to the DMS and hiring platforms Serra dealerships run, so technician time, commissions, and GL flow without double entry.
DealertrackDMS
Auto/MateDMS…and many more DMS, hiring, and HR tools. If your Serra stores already run it, chances are Netchex connects to it.
“Netchex has been like having a co-pilot on the journey to efficiency. Their tools cut down the time we spent on manual tasks so we can focus on our people and our customers.”
Questions From Serra Operators
What payroll software do Serra dealerships use?
Most Serra operators look for payroll built for dealership pay, not salaried desk workers. Many Serra stores already run CDK Global, and Netchex connects to it directly, syncing technician time, commissions, and GL without double entry. Netchex is an all-in-one HR and payroll platform for automotive dealerships with native flat-rate, commission, and draw support and multi-rooftop management, all in one application.
How do Serra groups run payroll across multiple rooftops?
With OneScreen Payroll, Serra operators run payroll for every rooftop from one screen and one login, with totals to approve. Employees can be shared across stores, and each rooftop’s hours, commissions, and GL flow in automatically from CDK Global or your DMS of choice.
Does Netchex support flat-rate technicians and commissioned sales staff at Serra stores?
Yes. Flat-rate, commission, spiffs, draws, and retro pay are built into every layer of the platform, from time tracking to reporting. Serra dealerships pay every employee type accurately without spreadsheets or workarounds.
