You can now choose from over 15 tag templates. Printing tags are a breeze with the Brand Source Dealer App. Weekly Newsletter: The BrandSource weekly newsletter has a ton of valuable information, but printing it off for each salesman can get expensive.

Never again will that happen, because now you can find all the rebates being offered for a product just when looking at at product.

Now you can see live inventory with just a press of a button *Disclaimer* Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
