How it Works

Make a seamless transition to Fusion.

Fusion implementations are designed to reduce risk, shorten ramp-up time, and support your team at every step.

Data Migration and Validation

Your transition begins with a careful migration of customers, units, parts, repair order history, and accounting records into Fusion. We guide cleanup, mapping, and test conversions so you start with accurate, trusted data.

Configuration Tailored to Your Needs

Rather than forcing generic workflows, we configure Fusion to reflect how you actually operate. Locations, OEM programs, roles, permissions, integrations, and reporting align to your business structure from day one.

Hands-on Training for Every Role

Each team trains on real workflows in a dedicated test environment. Through a mix of eLearning, live sessions, and teachbacks, your teams build confidence before go-live.

Go-Live Support

When launch day arrives, our trainers work alongside your team onsite, remotely, or both. We answer questions in real time, resolve issues quickly, and help operations run smoothly.

Ongoing Success and Optimization

After launch, the focus shifts to continuous improvement. We partner with you to fine-tune workflows, optimize reporting, and introduce new Fusion capabilities as your needs evolve.

From migration through optimization, every step follows a structured, guided approach. Your team ramps up with clarity, confidence, and far less stress.

FAQs

What is Karmak Fusion?

Fusion is the industry’s leading dealer management system (DMS) designed specifically for the heavy-duty trucking and commercial transportation sector. It serves as your central system of record, unifying accounting, parts, service, sales, and lease/rental operations into one robust platform.

Who is Fusion designed for?

Fusion is built for large, multi-location dealership enterprises, independent service providers, and parts distributors who require depth and scalability. It is designed to handle complex operations across OEM and independent networks (Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, International, Mack/Volvo, and more).

How does Fusion compare to other DMS providers?

Unlike rigid systems that force you to adapt your business to their software, Fusion adapts to you. It offers deep configurability that allows you to "work the way you want," tailoring workflows and reports to fit your specific operational needs. Additionally, Fusion enforces rigorous checks and balances to ensure financial integrity and protect your margins.

Can Fusion handle complex parts pricing?

Yes. Fusion is widely recognized for having the strongest parts management system in the industry. Its pricing controls allow you to manage pricing at the individual customer level, ensuring you maximize margins while maintaining flexibility for specific client relationships.

Does Fusion integrate with other tools I use?

Absolutely. Through our Unity and Unity Pro API platform, Fusion integrates with over 30 OEM, finance, telematics, and productivity partners. The system handles over 25 million API calls per month, ensuring real-time, bi-directional data flow between Fusion and third-party applications.

Is Fusion just a Dealer Management System (DMS)?

It is more accurately described as a comprehensive business management system or "system of record." While it serves dealers, it is also designed for warehouse distributors, lease/rental companies, and independent service shops. It acts as the "nucleus" of your operation, unifying accounting, parts, service, sales, and lease/rental into one connected platform.

How does Fusion help protect my profit margins?

Fusion utilizes a robust system of user group permissions and checks and balances. Unlike competitors that may allow users to override data easily (creating accounting nightmares), Fusion allows you to lock down specific actions—such as limiting the discount percentage a counter person can offer or preventing unauthorized changes to repair orders. This ensures financial integrity and stops profit leaks before they happen.

Can Fusion adapt to my specific business processes?

Yes. Fusion is highly configurable. Rather than forcing you into a rigid workflow, it offers deep customization options—from complex parts pricing matrices to specific service workflows—so the system molds to your business needs rather than the other way around.

Does Fusion support paperless operations?

Yes. Fusion allows you to attach documents, photos, and files directly to repair orders, parts invoices, and deal packets. This capability streamlines operations, reduces physical paperwork, and ensures that all relevant information is stored centrally within the transaction record.

What kind of support can I expect?

You can count on Karmak for relationship-first support. Our support team is U.S.-based and comprised of product experts who understand your business, with an average phone response time of 18 seconds.
