CDK Global

CDK Global is the dominant U.S. dealer management system (DMS) provider, serving roughly 15,000 automotive dealerships with software covering sales, F&I, fixed operations, parts, CRM, and digital retail. CDK was spun out of ADP in 2014 and acquired by Brookfield Business Partners in July 2022 for $8.3B (taken private). The company operates the Fortellis platform — a developer marketplace and integration hub with 135+ published APIs, 425+ marketplace apps, 82,000+ dealer integrations, and 6.7B+ API transactions per year — exposing CDK DMS data to ISVs, OEMs, and third-party automotive systems. CDK suffered a major BlackSuit ransomware attack on June 19, 2024, paying ~$25M in bitcoin to restore service over roughly two weeks; the outage caused an estimated $605M in dealer losses and triggered numerous lawsuits.

CDK Global publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Fortellis Event Relay Data Plane Proxy (AsyncAPI), Fortellis AsyncAPI Hello World Reference, adopt API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Automotive, Dealer Management, DMS, Auto Retail, and F&I.
