BUDD BAER AUTO GROUP WINS BACK TIME AND EFFICIENCY Budd Baer Auto Group prides itself on running a streamlined and efficient auto business in Washington, PA. With four franchises across three facilities and many teams and members to manage, General Manager Bryan Baer has a lot on his plate at any given time. And, when it comes to the accounting, Bryan takes a hands-on approach to the numbers. With a background in MIS and a data-driven mindset, Bryan often jumps in to tackle some of the more complicated reports that tie up his controller's bandwidth. "I have a degree in MIS. Data manipulation is something I feel that I am very good at," he explains. Yet, carving out days at a time to run reports that took his focus away from running his dealership wasn't ideal. Budd Baer Auto Group needed a payroll solution that could meet their needs and deliver faster, more efficient reporting for their accounting team. In the beginning of 2020, Dealertrack DMS delivered an advanced technology solution to several key dealerships. By leveraging the best-in-class technology from our partners at Netchex and integrating a new Payroll system directly through the DMS, dealers could now implement process improvements across their entire human resources department and deliver better reporting functionality to save time, reduce errors, and improve accountability.

"We used to have to custom report or hand- create reports. And now we can just click download and five minutes later we're onto the next task. If I had to guess, we won back three to four labor days in a month." — Bryan Baer General Manager, Budd Baer Auto Group with new Integrated Payroll by Netchex, delivered through Dealertrack DMS.
