Out & About with Our Industry

Issue 5 – October 2026

From the AADA Convention in Sydney to AutoTalk Live in Christchurch, the past three months have brought plenty of opportunities to catch up with customers, connect with industry peers and hear what’s happening across dealerships.

With conversations covering AI, data, customer expectations and everyday operational pressures, there was plenty to take away. These events help us stay close to your priorities and understand where technology, practical resources and support can make the biggest difference.

At AutoTalk Live, we also shared six key questions to ask when choosing a DMS, from integrations and implementation to support and long-term capability. If you’d like a copy, get in touch with Lucy Kelly.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat or shared their experiences with our team. Your insights help inform how we continue developing and supporting our solutions.
