DealerSocket is an automotive dealership CRM and Dealer Management System (DMS) software platform for franchise and independent auto dealers, covering customer relationship management, inventory management, websites, digital marketing, and desking/deals. DealerSocket is a Solera company (acquired 2021; part of Solera's Vehicle Solutions line of business). DealerSocket exposes a set of inbound and outbound integration APIs - lead forwarding, deal push to the DMS, customer updates, activity and CTI/call logging - but access is not self-serve. It is delivered through DealerSocket's Certified Partners program (launched 2013, 500-plus integration points) and is application-, contract-, and certification-gated. There is no public developer portal, no published authentication reference, and no public endpoint or base-URL documentation; the logical APIs below are modeled from DealerSocket's public integrations page rather than a self-serve API reference.
