QuickBooks Enterprise
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is an Intuit product that describes itself as an all-in-one solution for managing a business and its bottom line, with multi-entity management, multiple users, reporting, and inventory and order management. It is not automotive-specific, and is listed here because many dealerships connect their systems to QuickBooks.

QuickBooks Enterprise: product details
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is Intuit's accounting software for larger small businesses. Its Advanced Inventory add-on, offered on the Platinum and Diamond tiers, adds multiple locations, barcode scanning, bin and serial or lot tracking, FIFO costing and automatic purchase orders at reorder points.
Order management covers pick, pack and ship. It is not a dealership system.
It is a general accounting product, not a dealership system, so it lacks deal, floor plan and manufacturer financial statement functions found in a DMS. Independent dealers and some shops use it beside another system.
Ask how vehicle inventory, floor plan interest and sales tax are tracked and whether the DMS can post to it. Floor plan needs a workaround.
Intuit makes it.
