Oh boy, has this made issues and opportunities for my automotive B2B SaaS. My product's customer are car dealerships and most of my customers are on CDK. This is definitely creating a void of data for them though fortunately my product won't fail without the expected DMS data. In terms of opportunity, dealers had paperwork that would be generated for the F/I department from CDK which I was able to port into my SaaS and prefill with data we can capture at the time of sale. All the praise is due for FOSS like `pdf-lib` that I was able to incorporate in a matter of a few hours. All the disdain for Adobe Acrobat Pro which fought me tooth and nail when converting their paperwork to fillable PDF forms ( - if you're the Product Manager on that then please get a UX audit of it!) Currently, we are supporting our CDK dealers in this critical time by getting them paperwork filled and printed to keep the car buying experience going.
