CLOZBOX AT A GLANCE

What is ClozBox?

ClozBox DMS is a dealership management system for independent and Buy Here Pay Here auto dealers. It runs on a small dedicated appliance inside the dealership, so daily work does not require an internet connection and dealership records stay on encrypted storage at the dealership.

01

How is ClozBox delivered?

ClozBox is a dealership management system (DMS) delivered on a dedicated hardware appliance. Staff sign in and work through a web browser on the dealership’s local network. The database, customer files, vehicle photos, deal calculations, and documents stay on the appliance’s encrypted storage instead of a vendor’s cloud.

02

Who is ClozBox for?

Independent used-car dealerships and Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) dealerships. Single stores and dealer groups can both buy ClozBox; groups can ask for multi-location configuration and volume pricing.

04

How does the ClozBox appliance work?

ClozBox arrives prepared for dealership initialization. It is a dedicated compute platform that runs the dealership software and its database locally. The production enclosure measures 94.5 × 64 × 35 mm, only slightly larger than a credit card in footprint.

  • Encrypted local data storage
  • Local PostgreSQL 17 database
  • Offline VIN decoding from a locally installed NHTSA vPIC dataset
  • Individual staff accounts with role-based access
05

What works without the internet?

Normal dealership operations are designed to run locally without a required internet connection: customers, inventory, deals, payments, collections, titles, forms, and reports. The separate sales website, online ordering, shipping communication, and optional support communication do need the internet.

  • Updates arrive as signed offline packages installed through an approved process; nothing downloads automatically from the internet
  • Rotating local backups plus verified, encrypted external backups to approved USB storage
  • The dealership controls the backup passphrase and keeps off-device copies
06

How is ClozBox different from a cloud DMS?

A typical cloud DMS keeps dealership records on the vendor’s servers and needs an online connection to sign in and work. ClozBox does not depend on a cloud database or cloud sign-in for normal operations. The public ClozBox website cannot see, synchronize, back up, or remotely access dealership records, and routine support does not include remote access to them.

07

What does ClozBox not do?

ClozBox does not send email or SMS, connect to lenders or credit bureaus, fetch online appraisals, syndicate inventory, or process card payments itself; it records payments taken by a separate card processor. Its accounting records are practical and do not replace full double-entry accounting. ClozBox is a record-keeping tool and does not provide legal, tax, accounting, lending, or state-specific compliance advice.

08

How do dealerships get started?

Talk with ClozBox or request a quote, then order through this website when online ordering is open. Your account shows configuration review, preparation, acceptance testing, shipment, and delivery. At the dealership you initialize the appliance, create staff accounts, configure settings, import approved records, and set up backups, following an eight-step setup guide in your account.

09

What does ClozBox cost?

ClozBox is a one-time system purchase. Maintenance and support (ClozBox Care) is a separate yearly plan. The appliance runs locally without a required cloud-software subscription. Financing and lease-to-own are not offered until an approved program is in place.
