Transform Your Dealership's Decision-Making

Crystal-Clear Inventory Oversight

Crystal-Clear Inventory Oversight: Visualize stock levels across vehicle lots, parts warehouses, and OEM supplier feeds in real time, reducing overstock by 25% and preventing lost sales from unavailable models like high-demand trucks. Industry benchmarks show top dealerships turn inventory 12 times yearly via tools like vAuto; our dashboards help you hit that mark with precise demand signals from regional sales data.

Accelerated Sales Cycle Insights

Accelerated Sales Cycle Insights: Track lead-to-close ratios for new and used vehicle sales, plus upselling opportunities on F&I products instantly, cutting decision delays from days to minutes. Dealerships using similar DMS-integrated systems see a 35% uplift in CSI scores within six months, turning one-time buyers into loyal repeat customers through data-driven follow-ups on trade-ins and service contracts.

Streamlined Service Department Efficiency

Streamlined Service Department Efficiency: Monitor technician workloads, bay utilization, and OEM parts consumption without manual logs, slashing service turnaround by 20% on average repair orders. This means happier customers and fewer warranty claims on models like sedans and SUVs, aligning with NADA standards where efficient bays boost overall profitability by 18% through faster RO completions.

What Clients Say

"Before AIQ Labs, we were drowning in manual Excel updates for tracking used car acquisitions from Manheim auctions. Their dashboard integrated our CDK DMS and real-time auction feeds overnight, cutting inventory holding costs by 22% in just three months—now we're turning lots faster without stockouts on popular sedans."

Mike Reynolds

General Manager, Riverside Chevrolet Dealership

"Service backlogs on warranty repairs were tanking our Google reviews. The custom dashboard they built flags bottlenecks in real time, integrating repair order times with parts orders from our Epicor system. Last quarter, we boosted on-time completions from 65% to 92% for routine maintenance, and customers are raving about the quicker turnaround."

Sarah Chen

Fixed Operations Director, Apex Ford Lincoln Dealership

"We were buried in siloed sales data from our three locations' Reynolds CRM. AIQ's solution unified vehicle sales, lease metrics, and F&I upsells into one dashboard, helping us identify underperforming reps on EV models and tweak incentives on the spot. Revenue per salesperson surged 15% in the first six months—no more guessing on quarterly targets."

Common Questions

How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing dealership management system?

We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Reynolds ERA, CDK Global, or Dealertrack, ensuring data flows effortlessly without manual exports. Our process starts with a full audit of your setup, mapping fields like VIN tracking and RO statuses to create a unified view. This eliminates silos, providing real-time updates on everything from lot inventory to service pipelines. Dealerships typically see setup in 4-6 weeks, with zero disruption to daily operations, and we include post-launch support to tweak as your workflows evolve.

What makes these dashboards different from standard BI tools like Tableau?

Unlike Tableau's generic templates, our solutions are custom-built for automotive challenges, incorporating industry-specific metrics like CSI scores and inventory turns right out of the gate. We use advanced AI frameworks for predictive elements, such as forecasting SUV demand during peak seasons, which off-the-shelf tools can't match without heavy customization. Plus, everything is owned by you—no recurring fees—and optimized for your exact team structure, from sales managers checking leads on mobile to service directors monitoring bay efficiency. Results? 30% faster insights, per our client benchmarks.

Can these dashboards help with compliance and reporting for manufacturer incentives?

Absolutely. We design dashboards to track and report on OEM programs, like Ford's or GM's volume incentives, with automated calculations for rebates and allocations. Data pulls directly from your DMS, flagging discrepancies in real time to avoid audit issues. For example, one client recovered $50K in missed incentives within months of go-live. Security is baked in, with encryption and audit logs meeting automotive standards, ensuring you're always audit-ready without sifting through spreadsheets.

How much does a custom dashboard cost for a mid-sized dealership?

Pricing starts at $25,000 for a core setup, scaling based on complexity like multi-location support or advanced forecasting. This is a one-time build fee for full ownership, far below the ongoing costs of multiple subscriptions that add up to $10K+ yearly. We focus on ROI: clients often recoup investment in 6-9 months through efficiency gains, such as 20% reduced inventory costs. A free consultation lets us scope your needs precisely, providing a tailored quote without commitments.

What kind of training do you provide for our team?

We offer comprehensive, hands-on training tailored to roles—sales teams learn lead tracking, while finance gets rebate reconciliation. Sessions are virtual or on-site, lasting 4-8 hours, with interactive walkthroughs and cheat sheets. Post-launch, we provide a dedicated support portal with video tutorials on updates like adding new KPIs for electric vehicle trends. Our goal is quick adoption; one dealership had their full staff proficient in under a week, leading to immediate 15% productivity boosts in reporting tasks.

How secure is the data in your custom dashboards?

Security is paramount in automotive, where customer and financial data is sensitive. We use enterprise-grade encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based access to ensure only authorized users see relevant info—like service bays viewing parts but not sales commissions. Integrations are hardened against breaches, with regular audits. Unlike cloud-only tools, your dashboard runs on owned infrastructure, giving you control. We've never had a data incident in our automotive projects, aligning with strict standards from bodies like the NIADA.
