EDUCATION SESSION

Report Modernization for Dealers:
How Doggett Transformed Their Analytics Strategy and AI Readiness

Tuesday, January 26, 2027 | 3:45 pm – 4:45 pm

Join this session to learn how Doggett modernized reporting and gained the ability to analyze data from IntelliDealer, CDK Drive, Procede, Softbase, and more in one platform. By replacing manual processes with a specialized business intelligence (BI) solution for dealers, the team streamlined operations and gained complete visibility into every department, branch, and line of business.

Hear from Doggett’s Director of BI and VP of Digital Operations & Transformation as they share the goals, challenges, and key lessons learned throughout their analytics journey. Plus, find out how AI is changing the way dealers like Doggett analyze and draw insights from their data.

In this session, you’ll learn how modern BI tools help dealers:

  • Improve data accuracy and consistency by consolidating multiple data sources into a single source of truth
  • Track and monitor critical key performance indicators (KPIs) on a daily basis
  • Deliver timely, actionable insights in Parts, Service, Sales, Finance, and more
  • Share role-based information with teams across the dealership
  • Extend access to trusted business data through AI assistants
