A vehicle is on site but nobody is sure who owns it or whether it is available.
FOR CAR YARD OPERATORS
Know every vehicle, every balance and every next action in your yard.
Manage physical stock, consigned cars, preparation costs, sales agreements and customer instalment follow-ups without juggling notebooks and spreadsheets.
WHY THIS MATTERS01 02 03 04
The day-to-day challenges
Repairs, transport and preparation expenses are recorded separately from the vehicle.
A customer owes a balance but follow-up depends on someone remembering.
A sold vehicle is still shown as available in an advertising record.
What your business can manage
