DSI is the premier supplier of full-featured, business management software specifically designed for suppliers to the commercial vehicle industry. In over 40+ years of business, we have honed our software to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers, OEs, and manufacturers.
We’re pleased to announce our next innovation and introduce Connect, our new customer portal.
DSI-Connect seamlessly integrates with your existing business management system and allows your customers to search & order parts, schedule service, update vehicle information, view & print past invoices and service histories, as well as see outstanding invoices due. Connect gives your customers access to information 24/7 and enables them to serve themselves, from any device, world-wide.
Connect allows customers to easily search for parts by part number, cross reference, and aliases you define. Connect also supports volume based pricing, allows customers to save their “shopping cart” for recurring orders, and provides branch-level part location & availability.
Connect allows your customers to schedule service, view vehicle service history for their fleet, and update mileage to enhance maintenance reminders.
Connect allows your customers to easily search for past invoices & vehicle service histories, then view and print them wherever they are. Customers are also presented with outstanding balances due on their login dashboard, aiding collection of receivables.
Connect will free up your service & parts teams and customer service department so they can handle more pressing issues.
Now your customers can service themselves any time and on any device they choose. Connect looks beautiful on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smart phones.

With real-time reporting and alerts available from any device, employees can stay informed on the go.
“Every employee who uses Blaze absolutely loves it.”

Blaze is the only commercial vehicle software that enables you to manage financing using outside lenders. Our contracts financing module enables you to run your own finance department to increase profitability and give you more control over sales and cash flow.
Not all CRM software is one-size-fits-all. Our full-featured CRM module is specifically designed for commercial vehicle dealers. Beyond managing sales and accounts receivable, we make it easy to do the things that matter most to your business, including selling parts and opening repair orders directly from the CRM module. View and search new and used vehicle inventory—with photos—and access vehicle information, all from your smartphone or tablet.
Easily access all important customer and prospect information:
Dealer Alert is the most comprehensive alert system in the industry. Real-time, customizable alerts monitor your business activity and let you know when something is out of line or when there’s an opportunity to optimize operations and minimize risk. For example, if you’re about to order a part that is overstocked at another location, Dealer Alert will let you know. It will also provide an alert when a customer requesting service has not paid a previous bill.
The system can also compare critical management information from your dealership to industry benchmarks to identify areas of improvement.
Eliminate time wasted by hunting for paper documents in filing cabinets. Now you can improve productivity and save on storage costs by archiving any document in the Blaze system, including parts invoices, repair order invoices, purchase orders, and accounts receivable statements and reports. Users can easily search for and retrieve the documents they need when they need them.
As a dealer, you want to be sure that rental and leasing is a profitable segment of your business. Blaze Leasing and Rental manages all rental and leasing requirements in the commercial vehicle industry. The module covers long-term rentals, short-term rentals, full-maintenance leases, guaranteed maintenance, and finance leases. Easily generate customized reports on the revenue and expenses for each lease to generate a profitability report for a vehicle or fleet.
Parts is an important profit center and critical to delivering outstanding customer service. Blaze helps you effectively manage this department to reduce inventory costs and increase profits. Pull up your dashboard to see the department’s status at a glance and receive customizable alerts for a variety of issues, such as items being sold for a lower gross profit than expected or ordering parts that are in stock at another location.
Specifically designed for the commercial truck service sector, this module offers flexibility and features you won’t find in other ERP systems. For example, some programs don’t allow you to modify an RO that has been closed. We know that sometimes it’s necessary to make a change. So we let you. We also don’t restrict access to service history just to save storage space on servers. We allow you to view complete service information for a vehicle, which can affect the service that you deliver.
Blaze features an industry-leading system to manage the sale process quickly and effectively from quote to accounting. The Vehicle Sales module enables your salespeople to create a customized quote for each buyer. The system integrates with the dealership website to pull in details about each vehicle, including photos, and automatically updates inventory when a vehicle is sold or leased.
