CDK Global is one of the most widely used dealer management systems in automotive retail, running sales, service and inventory for dealerships of every size. Linking your ecos key cabinet to CDK means the vehicle records your teams rely on all day are available exactly where keys change hands, so a key is never issued without knowing precisely which vehicle it opens.
GENERAL INTEGRATION
ecos connects to CDK through its integration platform. The vehicle inventory in CDK is synchronized with the ecos key cabinet and matched by VIN, so each stored key carries its vehicle's essential details — VIN, make, model, colour and licence plate — without anyone having to re-enter them.
How it works
Set up the CDK connection through the integration platform, entering the endpoint and credentials that let ecos webman authenticate.
Turn on the inventory sync so ecos reads CDK's vehicle stock and keys off each record's VIN.
ecos pulls fresh vehicle data on a schedule, keeping make, model, colour and plate aligned with CDK as stock turns over.
Each key taken or returned is tied to its vehicle, building a running record of key activity.
Key Features
Vehicle details, synced to the cabinet
VIN, make, model, colour, and licence plate come straight from CDK and are displayed at the ecos key cabinet, so staff can see at a glance which vehicle any key belongs to.
Inventory that stays current
New arrivals, sales, and transfers in CDK flow through to the cabinet automatically, so the keys on hand always match live dealership stock rather than an outdated list.
Right key, found faster
With keys linked to genuine vehicle data, a VIN, model, or plate search returns the correct key immediately, saving time on a busy service drive or lot.
A record for every vehicle
Every issue and return is captured against the specific vehicle, giving the dealership a dependable trail for accountability and loss prevention.
The right key for the right vehicle, every time.
Bring CDK's vehicle data to the ecos key cabinet — VIN, make, model, colour and plate on hand — and give your team faster, more accurate key control.
