Dealership Systems We Have Built
Representative builds from our automotive practice, written up with the decisions behind them — including the parts that required the store to change how it works, and the numbers we deliberately refused to compute.
Three builds, in detail
Each of these describes a real system: what the situation was, what we built, what it cost in process change, and what actually came of it.
Dealer Group Performance Dashboard
A multi-rooftop group running its stores, its capital, and its acquisition pipeline out of one authenticated application — where the dashboard, the written plan, the lender deck, and the Excel forecast are all generated from the same model.
View SolutionFixed Operations Performance Dashboard
A service and parts operation moved from a monthly summary to a daily view of absorption, effective labor rate, and technician and advisor productivity — with the throughput constraint identified rather than assumed. It was not bays, and it was not technicians.
View SolutionUsed Vehicle Inventory Dashboard
Unit-level inventory reporting: true days in inventory measured from acquisition, landed cost with reconditioning charged back to the buyer who sourced the unit, and a recon clock broken into the six stages where days actually disappear.
View SolutionHow We Work On These
The same commitments show up in every build above, and they are the reason the dashboards get used rather than demoed.
Reconciled Before Published
Data lands, ties to the financial statement, and only then appears. A load that does not reconcile raises an alert instead of quietly shifting a gross. A dashboard that does not reconcile is a demo.
Definitions First
Every metric gets one written definition and one benchmark before anything is built. Two managers meaning different things by the same word is why most dealer scorecards get argued with instead of acted on.
Stated Limits
Where a figure cannot be computed reliably, the system says so instead of estimating. One quiet guess, discovered later, costs more credibility than a dozen honest blanks.
Built Around Your Operation
We are a development firm, not a dealer software vendor. There is no product to make you fit — your accounts, your pay plans, and your reinsurance arrangement are what the system is built on.
A Usable Release Early
The first release people actually use lands in weeks, and its only job is to match the numbers you already trust. A project whose first demo is in month five has usually built the wrong thing by then.
You Own It
The code, the data, and the warehouse are yours, deployable into your own cloud account. Nothing in the build is structured to make leaving difficult.
