3,000 Features in One Year: What That Means for Dealers Using Tekion

In 2024, Tekion delivered more than 3,000 new features and enhancements across Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC). That’s the equivalent of releasing one improvement every single day for over eight years.

But this isn’t just an impressive number—it’s a reflection of how we build, how we listen, and how we deliver real value through meaningful updates that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve the consumer experience.

Cloud-Native Innovation, Delivered Continuously

Legacy systems in our industry were never built for change. Updates are slow, releases are painful, and innovation often takes a back seat to maintenance. Tekion is different.

Our platform is cloud-native, not just cloud-hosted, which means we can develop and deliver improvements faster and more reliably than legacy systems – whether that’s cutting hours from a customer’s time in the dealership, enhancing reporting accuracy, or simplifying deal flow for your team. While others wait for quarterly or annual updates, Tekion ships platform enhancements through regular monthly releases—with no server downtime, no complicated installs, and no disruption to your operations. You get continuous innovation that shows up right where you work—consistently and seamlessly.

This development velocity isn’t just faster. It’s smarter. Because our platform is modern and modular, we can move quickly, respond to feedback, and deploy features in the areas that matter most to dealers.

Many of Those 3,000 Features Came from You

We don’t build in a vacuum. Many of the features and enhancements we delivered in 2024 were inspired directly by dealership feedback. We worked closely with service advisors, BDC managers, sales teams, controllers and dealer principals to understand what’s working—and where we can do better.

As a result, we’ve delivered:

• Workflow improvements that save hours per week
• Automations that eliminate manual steps in service and sales
• Visibility features that make tracking and reporting easier
• New AI-powered tools to surface recommendations and improve customer engagement

The Benefit of a Platform That Keeps Getting Better

Innovation at this pace isn’t just a technical flex. It’s a business advantage.

With Tekion, your teams benefit from a platform that constantly evolves—helping you adapt to changing consumer expectations, streamline operations, and improve the bottom line.

You don’t have to wait for a big release to fix a workflow, add a reporting layer, or enable a better customer experience. Our updates arrive continuously, seamlessly, and without added complexity for your staff.

Helping Dealers Leap Ahead

Many dealers who’ve switched to Tekion had spent many decades on pieced-together legacy systems. That means they’ve been stuck with slow innovation cycles, outdated workflows, and limited visibility. With over 3,000 updates in just one year, Tekion gives these dealers the ability to not just catch up but leap ahead of competitors still clinging to outdated technology. One year on Tekion can deliver the innovation equivalent of nearly a decade elsewhere—giving forward-thinking dealers the tools they need to stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.
