Astra Marine DMS

Whether you have one location or a large marina, you need organization to avoid duplicating data. Streamlining your service operations, sales and customer management, accounting, and F&I is necessary in order to continue growing your business.

With the Astra G2 Dealership Management System, IDS provides the most complete Boat and Marine dealer management system on the market. Developed specifically for dealers in the Marine industry, its detailed reports, true multi-user and multi-location capabilities, and overall ease-of-use make Astra G2 the Dealer Management System of choice for the most successful dealerships.

As a division of Constellation Software, IDS has the backing of a leader in the software industry. IDS has created integrations that allow dealerships selling certain boat companies,such as Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, US Marine, and more, to submit warranty pre-authorization and request claims and product registrations, as well as order part and download part pricing information through the Astra G2 Dealer Management System. This will truly eliminate double data entry on many laborious processes and increase organization and efficiency.  In addition, IDS has teamed with Brunswick to provide BDA members with special marine dealer incentives.

“There is no way we could operate today without Astra. Doing business the old way would require double the internal staff and tons of paperwork. The management tools are excellent because they track our efficiency and show us where improvements can be made. We are very happy with the system.”

Controller – Colony Marine
