Leigh Silver, CEO of Dynatron Software, joins Driving Solutions to discuss how dealerships can unlock greater profitability in their service and parts departments through better data utilization. With decades of fixed operations experience, Silver explains why many dealers struggle to interpret the vast amount of data generated by DMS systems—and how translating that data into actionable insights can drive meaningful operational improvements.

The conversation explores how Dynatron combines software and consulting to help dealerships identify inefficiencies, improve retention of aging vehicles, and optimize pricing strategies. Silver also highlights the importance of alignment between leadership teams to ensure data-driven strategies are successfully implemented. As vehicles stay on the road longer and service complexity increases—especially with EVs—dealers that effectively leverage data and emerging technologies like AI will be better positioned to maintain profitability and compete with aftermarket service providers.
