AutoMate Stock
This module is designed to give your sales manager real-time analytics for your entire used car inventory. We can show you live profit margins, average discounts applied, popularity of every car in stock on 3rd party platforms, open and closed enquiries on every car in stock, return on investment from your various marketing channels, as well as stock ageing and image and video reports.
AutoMate Stock is the ultimate tool for sales managers to make real-time decisions affecting profitability and stock-turn. Maximise the potential of your sales department whilst minimising the amount of time your sales manager spends off the floor compiling and combining reports from multiple sources.
Automated Integration with DMS
We are integrated with Keyloop (formerly CDK) and AutoView DMS systems to utilise information about vehicles bought and sold, costs and profit margins. We also integrate with Skupenet to include the details of your used car inventory's online advertising meaning there is no double jobbing or manual data entry necessary. Managers don't need to run numerous reports and then combine them in Excel or similar. Instead the information is all collected, combined and displayed automatically, allowing managers to make stock decisions fast and efficiently, plan their inventory and adjust used car strategies in real time.
Integration with alternative DMS systems and stock management systems is also possible.
Ireland's Only Carzone Price Integration
We have Ireland's only integration with Carzone for live competitor pricing. Instantly compare your car's advertised price against the competition, saving you hours reviewing prices and arming your sales team with real time pricing comparisons when responding to customer enquiries on stock.
Online Advertising Performance
Our software tracks and alerts your sales manager when vehicles are advertised online without photos or videos and will show you your "time to online". This is a key metric tracking how long it takes your sales department to advertise cars online once they are bought in to stock. You can also review the quality of images and videos along with the number of enquiries and views on every car in stock all from within the system.
Real-Time Used Car Profitability
Track each car's profitability, popularity and enquiry level in real-time. This allows your sales manager to easily make decisions on deals, pricing, discount authorisation and trade in valuations in real-time from the showroom floor. Quickly identify your most profitable stock from customisable periods to help with stock purchasing decisions as well as monitor the profit levels of stock on your forecourt and the level of customer interest they are or are not attracting. This allows sales managers to identify problem or slow moving stock and react before the car becomes loss making.
Discount Management
A key driver of used car profitability is strong and effective discount management. Do you know what levels of discounting is being applied to your stock right now? Are your execs still discounting cars even after you have just done a price reduction? Who are your best and worst execs at discounting and who needs additional training and mentoring? Our system tracks and displays discounts applied to every used car and tracks individual execs levels of discounts and profitability achieved allowing you to manage discounting and maximise profitability.
Stock Ageing
Your stock is categorised by age in real-time allowing you to make actionable decisions on slow moving stock before it reaches your customisable "red' levels in terms of ageing. This tool helps you to make pricing, promotional and discount decisions on your most troublesome stock and identifies the key drivers of stock ageing which enables you to make more informed and accurate decisions when buying fresh stock for your dealership.
ROI From 3rd Parties
What Return on Investment is your department getting from those costly 3rd party subscriptions and which partner channels are working best to deliver you leads and sales? Working this out manually is both challenging and extremely time consuming. Our software calculates this automatically and in real time allowing you to maximise your marketing budgets and dedicate your time and energy to the platforms that deliver you the best ROI
Track Pricing Changes
Track advertised price changes on all of your stock and ensure that your used car pricing strategy is up-to-date, competitive and is maximising your stock-turn potential.
Automate records when the advertised price of each of your cars changed allowing you to track the impact that your pricing strategy has on online performance and enquiries.
