The paperless dealership, made practical
PrintSent exists to close the gap between a DMS built for printers and a dealership that wants to go digital, without asking anyone to change how they work.
The old way
print → walk → scan → email
With PrintSent
Why PrintSent exists
Walk through any Dealertrack dealership and you'll see the same thing in every department: staff printing documents just to scan and email them. Repair Orders to customers, Purchase Orders to vendors, Statements to accounting. The DMS came from an era when printers were the primary output option, and many of its forms are still built around one.
Dealertrack's built-in QPRINT option can output without a printer; because it's designed for text only, it doesn't carry the logos and formatting so anything customer- or vendor-facing still gets printed. The result is a print-scan-email cycle that wastes paper, toner, and hours of staff time across a typical day.
PrintSent was built to end that cycle without asking dealerships to change how they work. It appears on the network as the fully compliant printer Dealertrack already expects, can capture any print job at full fidelity, so a branded PDF appears in a shared portal in seconds, to view, email, or download. The paperless dealership stops being a someday project and becomes a 30-minute setup.
Built by the people who'd have to secure it
PrintSent was founded by Jonathon Bradford and is built by a small team with more than thirty years in IT and information security, building and auditing security controls for auto dealerships, banking, and HIPAA-regulated organizations. The product was designed and developed by a working dealership IT director and security officer.
That background is why the product exists in the shape it does. We had a real problem at a real store, where staff printed documents all day just to scan and email them, and no vendor solving it in a way that would pass our own security review. So we built what we would have approved.
It also means we have sat on the other side of this conversation. When an IT director asks what the device touches, whether we can reach their network, or who processes their data, those are questions we have had to ask vendors ourselves. Ours are written down.
On continuity: the device is sold to you outright, Dealertrack remains your system of record, and PrintSent is not a document archive, so your existing printers and your DMS keep working regardless of what happens to us.
How we run our own access
- Multi-factor authentication on every administrative and remote-support login
- Least-privilege access: production access limited to the people who need it
- Data processing agreements with every vendor that touches dealership data
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with short retention and automatic deletion
- No customer personal information in email subject lines or body text
The full detail, including named subprocessors, remote access controls, and where we don't hold a certification, is on the device & network security page.
The principles behind PrintSent
A few convictions shape every decision we make about the product.
Nothing changes for staff
The best tool is the one nobody has to learn. Your team clicks Print exactly as they always have, and PrintSent handles the rest.
Full fidelity, always
Documents should look exactly as they would on letterhead. We capture the complete print stream, logos, formatting, and all, never a text-only compromise.
Security first
Dealership documents are sensitive. We encrypt in transit, keep customer information out of email subject lines, and leave nothing sitting in printer trays.
Fair, simple pricing
One flat monthly price with everything included: the device, unlimited delivery, and support. No per-page metering, no long-term contracts.
