Trove vs DealerTide

DealerTide runs the back office. Trove sells the home, then runs the deal.

DealerTide is a dealer management system for manufactured home dealers, built around accounting, deal desking, commissions, service and warranty claims, with a CRM, marketing tools and a dealer website. In its own words, it does not offer an interactive 3D design studio. Pricing is quoted per dealership by locations, users and modules.

Why dealers choose Trove over DealerTide

Buyers design and price the home themselves

Trove's website is the showroom: your factories' floor plans with live pricing, a design studio, smart renderings of the buyer's chosen home and property mapping that prices the site work on their own land. DealerTide says plainly that it doesn't offer an interactive design studio.

Leads arrive with the home already chosen

The home a buyer designs on your site is the same home on the deal, with options, price and site work attached, so nobody re-keys a quote from a phone call.

Lenders, not just paperwork

Trove's credit application is built for MH lenders, with the right disclosures, sent from the deal and signed online. DealerTide's published capabilities don't include credit applications.

Published pricing

Trove publishes its plans, with unlimited users on Standard and Pro. DealerTide doesn't publish prices; it quotes each dealership by locations, users and modules.

Live in 30 days, set up for you

We load your factories' homes, import your contacts and deals, build your pipelines and automations and train your team.

To be fair, DealerTide is good at:

Native general ledger, AP/AR and QuickBooks Online sync
Warranty claims and manufacturer receivables
In-house loan servicing with amortization schedules
