About
What began in 1988 as a humble family project in Dave and Marilyn Bradley's basement has evolved into one of the most influential players in the automotive software industry. Driven by a vision to create a more intuitive and comprehensive solution for dealerships, the Bradleys launched PBS Systems with a focus on listening to the people who actually used the software. This customer-centric philosophy, which they termed 'Dealer-defined, dealership defining,' became the bedrock of their growth. In the early 1990s, they made a significant leap by acquiring DCI to integrate accounting capabilities, setting the stage for a truly all-in-one platform. Throughout the decades, PBS Systems has consistently pushed the envelope of innovation. They were the first to introduce a Windows-based Dealership Management System (DMS) to North America in 1995, a move that revolutionized how dealerships managed their operations. Today, the company's v10 software stands as a testament to their enduring commitment to evolution, offering a seamless ecosystem that integrates sales, service, parts, and accounting. From their headquarters in Calgary to satellite offices across North America, PBS Systems has grown into a team of over 600 professionals, yet they remain true to their family roots, treating every customer as a partner in their shared journey of success.
