We’re excited to announce that Ekho is now a Gold Partner of the National Powersports Dealer Association (NPDA) — the leading voice for powersports dealerships across the country.
This partnership is a meaningful milestone as we prepare to launch Ekho Dealer, our new product purpose-built for independent and multi-line dealerships — and a reflection of our commitment to helping dealers grow and operate more efficiently.
Built with Dealers, for Dealers
In our recent video chat with Dave McMahon, Executive Director of the NPDA, I shared more about why this partnership matters:
“We know the industry is full of nuance, and we’re the first to admit we don’t have all the answers. That’s why we’ve surrounded ourselves with folks like Mike Cunningham and now the NPDA — to ensure we’re building the right tools for dealers.”
Ekho Dealer streamlines everything from financing and titling to online checkout and customer paperwork — all while giving dealerships full control. It includes:
- Automated vehicle checkout for your existing inventory (both online and in-store)
- DMS and lender integrations for real-time approvals and automation
- State-specific titling and registration workflows, fully handled
- Flexible signature capture (e-sign, wet-sign, notarization)
- Backend product sales, margin protection, and F&I support
All designed to simplify the deal and speed up the process — without adding overhead.
A Shared Mission
We’re aligned with the NPDA on a clear goal: giving dealers access to modern tools that help them operate smarter, turn inventory faster, and deliver a great customer experience.
“We think this is going to be a great fit. Ekho joins a group of partners focused on helping dealers become better business operators.”
Coming Soon
Ekho Dealer is currently in beta and will be publicly available soon. If you're interested in joining the launch group:

We’ll also be at NPDA Dealer Connect in Columbus, OH (Sept 21–23) — come by our booth to see the platform in action.
