Is your Dealership OS leaking margin?

Data is Your Most Valuable Asset
If you are managing your dealership by looking at month-end reports, you are driving while looking in the rearview mirror. By the time you realize your closing ratio dropped or your internet lead response time spiked, the month is over and the money is gone.
Our dealership management system provides powerful, real-time Metrics & Goals dashboards that give every employee—from the dealer principal down to the newest sales rep—instant visibility into their performance and pacing.
Customizable Role-Based Dashboards
Not everyone needs to see the same data. Our software provides tailored dashboards for every role. The GM sees total front and back-end gross, inventory turn, and overall dealership health. The Used Car Manager sees days-on-lot, reconditioning bottlenecks, and auction acquisition rates. The Sales Rep sees their monthly unit goal, appointment show rate, and daily task completion.
"Having our goals and current pacing displayed on the big screens in the showroom completely changed our culture. Everyone knows exactly where they stand at all times, and nobody wants to be at the bottom of the board."
Pacing and Predictive Analytics
Our dashboards don't just show you what you've done; they show you where you are going. The system constantly calculates your pacing against your monthly goals using historical run rates. If your BDC is pacing to miss their appointment goal by 15%, the system highlights it in red on day 10, giving management plenty of time to run a spiff or adjust marketing spend to correct the course.
- Real-Time Accountability: No hiding behind bad data; everything is live and transparent.
- Gamification: Leaderboards foster healthy competition on the sales floor and drive activity.
- Actionable Alerts: Get notified instantly via SMS when key performance indicators (KPIs) drop below acceptable thresholds.
Deep Dive Reporting and Coaching
When you spot a trend on the dashboard, you can click through to instantly generate deep-dive reports. Want to know why a specific lead source has a low closing ratio? Drill down to see exactly which reps are handling those leads and where in the process the customers are dropping off. This level of insight allows for surgical, highly effective management coaching rather than blanket yelling.
