Case Study: Gateway DMS achieves faster, modern dealer management software with Synergex

Gateway DMS builds a fast Windows UI and new Ford API in 6 weeks with Synergex

Gateway DMS, an Australian dealer management software provider, faced the challenge of modernizing its character-based application to a Windows graphical interface without sacrificing the speed and reliability crucial for its dealership customers. Founder Jeff Gill, leveraging his experience as a former dealer, partnered with Synergex, using the Synergy DBL language and toolset as the core of his Voyager application.

The solution involved separating the front-end and back-end, using Synergy for the high-performance business logic on Linux servers and integrating third-party DevExpress components for the Windows UI. This approach, supported by Synergex's ISAM and development tools, preserved lightning-fast performance while delivering a modern experience. The result is a thriving, competitive application built by a small, agile team that can implement custom features rapidly, such as a new API in six weeks versus a competitor's estimated 14 months.
