Podium integrations: the 5 companies it lists
Podium’s own integrations page at www.podium.com names these companies. Below, each one appears with its workflow categories and its evidence status, followed by what the listing does and does not establish. The listing is the provider’s own claim, so treat each name as a lead to verify with both companies.
What Podium’s list establishes
Podium names 5 companies as integration partners on www.podium.com, and this directory records each one with the evidence status of the partner company. A listing is a market signal that a relationship exists.
Scope stays unstated: products, data objects, direction, timing and fees are all missing, and nothing proves that a connection is switched on for any dealership. The partners span 10 workflow categories, led by Dealer management systems (DMS) (5), CRM & sales enablement (3), Credit, identity & compliance (2).
Each row below links to the record for that pair, which carries the verification steps for a dealer to work through with both companies.

What Podium’s own integrations page shows
Podium's marketplace page publishes almost no text, so this record rests on the five companies the directory captured: Auto/Mate, Autosoft, Frazer, DealerCenter and Dealertrack. All five are dealer management or finance systems, mostly aimed at independent and smaller franchise dealers, which suggests Podium's dealership connections concentrate on the systems that hold customer and deal records. That is an inference from the list, not a statement by Podium.
A dealer on a larger DMS should therefore ask Podium directly which connections it supports. Ask whether a connection reads customer and service data, writes messages back to the customer record or only sends contacts one way, how often it updates and who builds it, Podium or the DMS vendor. Ask also whether a connection is included in the subscription or sold separately, and what happens to message history if the dealer leaves.
Reading the list as a dealer would, all five recorded names, Auto/Mate, Autosoft, Frazer, DealerCenter and Dealertrack, are systems that hold customer and deal records, and none is a CRM or a website platform. If your store runs on one of them, ask whether Podium reads customer data from the system, writes conversations back, or both. If it does not, ask for the connection to be listed in writing, with a date, before you assume it exists.
Before a first call, ask Podium for the dealership connection list in writing, with the product and version for each. Compare it with the system that holds your customer records and appointments.
If your store runs on a larger platform than the five recorded names, ask whether a connection is planned, who would build it and when. Also ask what the messaging tool does without a connection, such as sending contacts by file, and what that costs your staff in time each day.
Write the answers down. Check them again after a month.
If a promised connection is still missing, say so in writing and ask for a date. The five names on this list are a starting point, and a short list is easier to verify than a long one.
Also ask what the conversation history looks like if you leave. Texts with customers are business records, so ask whether they export with names, dates and the staff member who sent each one, and in what file format.
Ask also how the product treats a customer who has opted out. A messaging tool must stop at once across every channel and keep the record, so request the written policy and test it with a staff phone number before launch.

How to check one of these connections
Pick the partner that matters to your store first, for example Auto/Mate. Ask Podium and that partner the same questions, separately: which products and versions, which objects and fields, which direction, how often, who pays and who answers the phone when the connection breaks at nine on a Monday morning. Write both sets of answers side by side. A match is a lead you can plan around. A mismatch is the finding, and it costs far less to learn before signature than during a rushed setup that has already started.
