Please note: You must have a paid subscription to set up Pro-Level Integration between your CDK Lightspeed EVO system and your ARI website. Please contact ARI if you wish to purchase this feature. |
ARI and CDK offer dealers a Pro-Level Unit Inventory Integration between their Lightspeed EVO dealer management system and their ARI Content Manager (CMS). This integration allows dealers to manage unit inventory on their website from directly within EVO, with changes posted to their ARI websites in real-time.
In order to properly integrate, dealers must have:
To complete the integration setup, you'll need to access to both ARI Content Manager (CMS) and the Lightspeed EVO > System > Lightspeed Subscriptions menu.
From the System drop-down menu, select CDK Pro-Level Integration. If this option is not available to you, please contact your ARI website consultant or sales representative.
The following steps vary depending on your website configuration. If your website represents a single physical location, proceed as described below. If your website is configured for multiple locations, you'll need to enter a unique CMF for each location corresponding to the EVO database for each location. You'll also need to initiate and validate those licenses separately following the steps described below for each location (which will require you to have access to each store's EVO database). If any of your website's locations are missing from this screen, please check to make sure that those locations are designated as Inventory Locations. |
Once initiated successfully, the instructions pictured below will direct you to access your Lightspeed EVO system to complete the Integration Subscription Consent. Copy them to a notepad or word processing document if you need to leave ARI Content Manager to complete the process, then when you are ready to proceed click the Acknowledge button. Note: For your convenience, a copy of these instructions will also be delivered to the email address you entered in the previous step.
If you are integrating multiple locations, you will need to complete the Integration Subscription Consent process for each location separately. |
