Haynes Automotive is switching to Tekion’s cloud-based Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) dealer management system.
The privately owned dealer group represents Ford, Changan and Vauxhall in Kent. It is part of the wider family-owned Haynes Bros group, which traces its origins to 1790.
The switch will begin on 1 December 2026 at two locations in Maidstone and Canterbury.
Tekion said the platform would connect finance, retail, service and parts operations in real time, automate manual processes and improve consistency across the dealerships.
“What impressed us most was Tekion’s attention to detail throughout the evaluation and implementation engagement process,” said Marcus Nye, IT director of the Haynes Group.
“The team understood our operation, showed genuine diligence in understanding our requirements, and were transparent about what the platform can do and how it would change our day-to-day work.
“That level of clarity and confidence is exactly what you want from a partner making this kind of transition.”
