Honest side-by-side: Frazer is the most-installed DMS for sub-30-car US independents. Many Canadian dealers run it too because it’s cheap and the desktop muscle-memory is hard to break. Here’s where each one fits best for a Canadian dealership in 2026.
Choose Frazer if you’re a US dealership, you’re comfortable on Windows desktop software, or you have a long history with Frazer’s receipt printing + paper-process workflow that you don’t want to retrain on.
Choose Swift DMS if you’re a Canadian dealer who needs province-specific compliance (OMVIC / VSA / AMVIC), wants to work from a phone in the parking lot, runs Facebook Marketplace as a sales channel, or wants live QuickBooks Online sync instead of CSV exports your bookkeeper has to import manually.
