DX1
The DX1 website alternative for powersports dealers
DX1 bundles the DMS and the website, which also makes the website the hardest part to change when it is the part you want to change. You do not have to move your DMS to move your website.
What DX1 is
DX1 is a powersports dealer management system with an integrated website product. Its argument is a single platform where inventory, parts, service and the website share one database rather than syncing between systems.
What DX1 sells
Stated from public information, so you can weigh it yourself. Note that this is scope — what is on the price list — which is a different question from what any of it does to your lead volume:
- DMS and website share one database, so there is no inventory sync between them.
- Handles parts and PG&A in the same system as major units.
Where ScoutX differs
A DMS with a website attached solves the integration problem by owning both ends, and that is a genuine convenience. It also means the website is a feature of the DMS rather than the product — and a site built as an accessory to inventory management is optimised for the dealer’s back office, not the shopper’s path to a lead form.
Why dealers tell us they move
What follows is what dealers said when they switched. It is reported experience, not a measurement we made of DX1’s product — we are careful about that distinction and you should be sceptical of any vendor who is not.
- Coupling. Dealers tell us the website is the part of DX1 they would most like to change, and the coupling is exactly what makes it hard.
- A website roadmap that necessarily sits behind DMS priorities.
Side by side
ScoutX compared with DX1
Where a cell says Not published, that vendor does not publish the information and we are not going to invent it. Where it says Varies by package, it genuinely differs by tier — ask them directly.

Verify our column rather than trusting it. Ask us for three live customer URLs and run them through Google PageSpeed Insights on mobile — and ask DX1 for the same.
What actually changes
The measured average on the Scout platform is a 2.5× lift in unique leads in the first 30 days, across nine dealer groups that switched, each against its own pre-launch baseline rather than an industry benchmark; the range is 1.6× to 3.4×. Those nine are RV dealer groups running the same codebase, forms, search and concierge — we label them rather than restate them as powersports numbers.
The powersports measurement we hold is a single store: a single-location franchise that went from 86 to 256 unique leads in its first full month, on fewer sessions than the month before. One dealer is not an average, and it is not published as one.
Common questions
Switching from DX1
Can we keep DX1 as our DMS and use ScoutX for the website?+
Yes, and it is the reason most dealers on this page are here. Scout integrates with your DMS for inventory rather than replacing it, so your parts, service and accounting stay exactly where they are.
Does splitting them create a sync problem?+
It creates a sync, which we then monitor. Inventory flows automatically on a schedule, and feed staleness is watched by an automated check — if the DMS stops sending, we know within hours rather than when a customer calls about a unit you sold last week.
Bring your current invoice and your lead volume.
We will map it against what Scout includes, in the open, on the first call.
