DealerTrack Holdings Inc (fka TRAK)

[Tradeinman]

The company that controls Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book reached a deal to acquire a major provider of software to auto dealers for $4 billion.

Cox Automotive will acquire Dealertrack (TRAK) in a deal expected to be finalized in the third quarter. The acquisition values Dealertrack shares at $63.25, a 59% premium over Friday's closing price.
The deal is designed to give Cox a stronger foothold in the dealer business, which relies heavily on Dealertrack software to complete financing transactions and handle logistics.
"This is a great investment in our customers and in the auto industry," Cox Automotive President Sandy Schwartz said in a statement. "We have long admired the Dealertrack team and its highly respected brands. Integrating our platforms will be a big step forward in our shared vision of providing open, cost-effective and efficient solutions for dealers, lenders, manufacturers and consumers."
Cox said it would pay cash for Dealertrack, assembling the capital from an existing bank facility, a new Citigroup loan and an equity investment from BDT Capital Partners.
Atlanta-based Cox Automotive brands include Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book and NextGear Capital. The company, a division of Cox Enterprises, has about 24,000 employees in more than 150 locations and counts more than 40,000 dealers among its customers.
Dealertrack provides software to dealers, manufacturers, lenders and other auto industry entities. Its customers include some 20,000 dealers and 1,500 lenders.

Hello, I was just wondering why you had "bullish" in your post and a bearish (zacks) report, I get it now . Regardless, within the two past days we have two very different articles. It changes up fast sometimes. I'm hoping the bulls are right.... GL

[stocktrademan]

I think you're confusing the journalist's bearish news article title in the post, in place of my bullish opinion.

If the rsi is oversold and undervalued than it would be a better deal for someone on the lookout for a bullish trade.

hUMMMMMM, that's funny.. Forbes just posted that the RSI has fallen to 29.0 which places it in the OVERSOLD category, or "undervalued" ! GL

ClickMotive Acquisition By DealerTrack Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg
http://www.automotivedigitalmarketing.com/profiles/blogs/clickmotive-acquisition-by-dealertrack-is-just-the-tip-of-the
Posted by Brian Pasch on October 2, 2012 at 10:00pm



DealerTrack's announcement that they acquired ClickMotive for 48.9 million in cash came as no surprise to me. It was not a surprise because I had insider information. Quite the contrary. I have been predicting that the marketplace would have to consolidate based on market forces and technology trends.



There are over 50 companies offering car dealers website platforms; too many choices for such a core function for automotive retailers. Many of these website companies are single product solutions which is becoming a liability in an industry that is moving towards complete end-to-end marketing solutions. (i.e. VinSolutions, Dealer.com, and Cobalt.com)



Each year PCG Consulting gives out the annual Automotive Website Awards (AWA). The review process gives me a birds-eye view of the marketplace for technology solutions that serve car dealers.



ClickMotive has strong products and a large customer base (3,000 dealers) that would be an ideal fit for any company looking to create their own robust, full-service marketing platform. ClickMotive has been recognized with AWA awards for their desktop website technology as well as for their mobile solutions for dealers. ClickMotive also provides dealers with a digital advertising solutions; search, display, and retargeting campaigns.



DealerTrack was missing a robust digital marketing platform to compliment the website and inventory management tools provided by their eCarlist acquisition in 2011. Time will tell if DealerTrack can pull off the required integration to create a powerful management console for their diverse portfolio of software products; DMS, Websites, Mobile Technology, Inventory Management, Vehicle Merchandising, and Advertising .



The future DealerTrack backend user interface will be critical for the company to call their suite of products fully integrated. Companies like Dealer.com and VinSolutions have a head start on DealerTrack by providing a robust single-login solution for all their marketing products.

With Dealer.com's recent release of CRM software, the competition for integrated solutions is getting more interesting.
If Cobalt can pull off a major upgrade to their CRM and integrate CRM data with their suite of social media, reputation management, and digital marketing solutions, things will get interesting.
Dominion Dealer Solutions has also been working on re-branding all their products and creating an integrated software suite. Their introduction of Adaptive Website Technology was recognized with a 2012 AWA.


So you can see that integrated platforms is not just a fad but a very serious trend in our industry to reduce the number of products and companies that dealers need to run their business using data and analytics to compliment their operational team.

I'm betting that DealerTrack will do a good job at maximizing the tools that they now have in their possession. The only missing piece left for DealerTrack is a powerful CRM solution. The clock is ticking...who will be the next acquisition? Any predictions?

Single Product Solutions Are In Danger

As I look out at the automotive marketplace, it will be increasingly difficult for stand alone digital marketing companies to make a living. There are many great products designed for car dealers that are begging to be incorporated into a suite of marketing solutions that provide integrated analytics and reporting. How many stand alone products can you name that will eventually be merged into a robust marketing platform?



Take chat for example. There are over a dozen chat solutions used by car dealers on their websites and only Dealer eProcess has a fully integrated chat solution. Do you see a future where chat can continue to be a silo product? I don't. Chat should be part of a powerful CRM solution that allows dealers to communicate with customer with any device and any form of communication technology.



How about equity mining? This software functionality should be integrated into the CRM system. Equity mining software will enable dealership sales professionals to pull customers coming into the service drive or who are in equity and present compelling reasons why they should upgrade to a newer model vehicle. There is no reason why this should not be a part of core CRM functionality.



How about websites? With OEM endorsements being the real goldmine for software providers, will OEM's start to endorse solutions that come with integrated marketing components and shy away from stand-alone solutions? Integrated platforms can offer dealers and OEM's a far richer dataset than stand alone products.

The owners of the very best stand-alone products in our industry need to come together SOON and work out consolidation/partnership deals before the music stops.

Remember Playing Musical Chairs?

The automotive services industry is playing a very critical game of musical chairs. When the music stops, there will be some companies that will not have a chair to sit on.



Any vendors reading this article should heed this warning. Robust, integrated marketing solutions are the norm in other industries. The automotive retail industry will be no exception, it just has taken a while to catch up with the rest of the world.



Dealers reading this article should also take note; pick your partners carefully. If your technology partners are not growing their set of marketing, analytics, and decision making tools you should be looking for companies that are taking the lead.



Enterprise reporting and leveraging "big data" will be key components to the most profitable dealerships in the years to come. What do you have to say about this wave of consolidation? Add your comments below.
