A dealer system, built for parts counters and multi-location dealers
Karmak describes Fusion as the core business system for complex heavy-duty operations: parts, service, accounting, sales, and lease and rental, aimed at truck, trailer and bus dealers, warehouse distributors and equipment businesses. It also lists independent repair shops, and sells Blaze as a SaaS system and Truckmore for customer-facing service updates. No prices were shown when read on 2026-10-30.
For a mobile repair company the question is scope: a full dealer system with its own ledger, or a shop system that dispatches road calls and feeds QuickBooks Online.
