Summary
This is a swift move in delivering a comprehensive DMS platform since Tekion entered the market with its digital Service Experience (dSE) product only one year ago. Tekion is founded and led by Jay Vijayan, former CIO of Tesla, Inc., who was responsible for building Tesla’s digital and information systems and software platform from the ground up during the company’s early stage through its hyper-growth phase. By applying the best technologies available, Tekion has built a next generation cloud-native platform with a customer-centric design, simple intuitive workflows and personalization powered by ML/AI and IoT. Jerry Yang, founder of AME Cloud Ventures, co-founder and former CEO of Yahoo, current independent Board of Director in Alibaba Inc., and Workday Inc., and an investor in Tekion stated, “Tekion has the tremendous opportunity to disrupt software in the automotive industry , much like how current enterprise leaders like Salesforce and Workday have done in their respective industries. Steve Hill, U.S. Vice President of Sales, Service and Marketing at General Motors stated, “Managing all of the information flowing in and out of dealerships using cloud-based systems is the future and we are excited about Tekion’s state-of-the-art solutions to help drive higher customer satisfaction and overall dealer performance.” In addition to the most modern retail platform, Tekion offers a fair pricing model, unlimited cloud upgrades, open APIs for integration with zero monthly integration fees and more.
