Managed SFTP For CDK Feeds
Give CDK and your vendors a stable, monitored SFTP endpoint with a static IP to allowlist — no server to patch and no box of your own exposed to the internet.
See File TransferHow Files.com Fits With CDK Global
A dealership on CDK Global moves data to its third-party vendors as files. Inventory, deals, parts, service, and accounting data export from the DMS as scheduled flat files over SFTP, and inbound feeds update the store the other way — each vendor on its own schedule, each in its own layout.
Files.com is the SFTP endpoint and automation layer around those feeds. CDK delivers exports to your Files.com site; an Automation validates each file, normalizes the flat-file or CSV format the receiving vendor expects, and routes it to the right vendor folder — or collects inbound feeds and stages them where the DMS picks them up. Every transfer is logged, every vendor is scoped to its own folder, and failed transfers retry instead of dropping a nightly feed.
What You Would Use
Route Each Feed Automatically
An Automation routes each inventory, parts, service, or accounting export to the right vendor folder on a schedule, retries on failure, and stages inbound feeds for the DMS to retrieve — without anyone moving files by hand.
See AutomationsNormalize DMS Data
Convert and reshape DMS exports — flat-file, CSV, XML, and JSON — into the layout each receiving vendor expects, and pull values out of each feed to route it, before it leaves your site.
See Transform & ExtractScope Every Vendor
Each third-party vendor, listing site, or downstream system gets its own folder, its own credentials, and its own permissions — with a full record of every feed sent or received.
