I work for a dealer. No DMS all day. Going old school with paper repair orders, invoices and order cards. No idea when it will be up lol. These younger folks are lost. Just pay the ransom already.

My former roommate just texted that the dealership he works at can’t do anything. Ransomware.

Manual processes started.
