The "Data Fog" Problem
Scattered data from CRM, DMS, and service logs leaves managers guessing on lot turnover rates, often resulting in vehicles sitting unsold for over 60 days beyond the industry average of 45 days
Manual reconciliation of sales pipelines and finance approvals delays month-end reporting by days
Invisible service department bottlenecks, like untracked repair times for common issues such as brake jobs or transmission diagnostics, inflate costs by 20% due to overtime and idle bays
Fragmented customer data silos hinder personalized follow-ups on trade-ins and service reminders
Lack of real-time visibility into parts inventory, such as OEM filters or brake pads, causes stockouts during peak service rushes like post-warranty oil change surges
Disjointed lead tracking from online inquiries via manufacturer websites to showroom walks erodes conversion rates below the industry 15% benchmark, missing out on digital leads for models like SUVs
Our Custom-Built Dashboards: Tailored for Dealership Efficiency
With a proven track record of deploying industry-leading solutions for 50+ automotive SMBs, AIQ Labs engineers dashboards that integrate seamlessly with your DMS and CRM systems.
Why Choose Us
We don't deploy off-the-shelf templates. Instead, our team audits your dealership's unique workflows—from lot management to F&I processes—and architects a unified dashboard platform.

Our approach ensures scalability, handling everything from daily inventory audits to quarterly performance benchmarks with zero downtime.

Drive Tangible Results with Precision Insights
Accelerated Inventory Decisions
Accelerated Inventory Decisions: Gain crystal-clear visibility into stock levels and turnover rates for sedans and trucks, reducing holding costs by 30% on average within the first six months.

Boosted Sales and Service Revenue: Track KPIs like lead-to-close ratios for F&I upsells and service upsell success during alignments in real-time, lifting overall revenue by 22% for our clients over a year. Sales teams spend less time on reports, more on closing deals for high-demand hybrids, while service advisors spot upsell chances during routine oil changes.
Streamlined Operations Across the Board
Streamlined Operations Across the Board: Break down silos between sales, service, and parts departments, cutting administrative overhead by 35 hours weekly through automated DMS integrations. From forecasting parts needs for seasonal recalls on popular models like the Ford F-150 to monitoring technician efficiency on diagnostic scans, every insight drives efficiency in your fast-paced dealership environment.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were buried in spreadsheets tracking service appointments for routine maintenance like tire rotations—taking two full days each week. Now, everything's real-time; our bay utilization jumped 18% in the first quarter after integrating with our CDK DMS, and we're actually using the data to schedule better around peak warranty work."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Riverside Auto Group
"Integrating our Reynolds CRM with the new dashboard cut our lead follow-up time from 48 hours to under 2 for online inquiries on electric vehicles. We've seen a 12% uptick in trade-in conversions since launch last fall—it's like having an extra salesperson who never sleeps, especially during end-of-month pushes."
Sarah Patel
Sales Director, Horizon Dealerships
"The custom alerts for inventory low-stocks on high-volume parts like wiper blades saved us during last winter's rush; we avoided a $15K overstock on tires by adjusting orders proactively. Setup was smooth with our Epicor system, and the team's now relying on it for daily huddles—no more chasing numbers across systems for parts forecasting."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your custom dashboards integrate with our existing dealership management system?
We specialize in robust, two-way integrations with platforms like CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, and Dealertrack. Our process starts with a full audit of your current setup to identify data flows—such as sales leads from your website to CRM. Then, we engineer secure API connections that pull in real-time info without manual exports. For instance, inventory levels update instantly from lot scans, and service data syncs to track RO statuses. This eliminates silos, ensuring your dashboard reflects accurate, current metrics. We've done this for over 30 dealerships, achieving 100% uptime and cutting integration time from months to weeks. No disruptions to daily operations; we test everything in a staging environment first.
What makes these dashboards different from off-the-shelf tools like Power BI?
Unlike generic tools that require constant tweaking and lack automotive depth, our dashboards are purpose-built for dealership workflows. We incorporate specifics like VIN-level tracking, CSI score visualizations, and F&I upsell analytics tailored to your volume and model mix. No wrestling with templates—everything's custom-coded for your exact needs, from monitoring days-to-turn on sedans to alerting on service backlog during recalls. Clients see 40% faster insights because we unify data from disparate sources into one intuitive interface. Plus, you own it outright, avoiding subscription fees that add up to $5K+ yearly. Our engineering ensures scalability for growing lots, with AI layers predicting trends like EV demand shifts, far beyond what standard BI offers.
How long does it take to build and deploy a custom dashboard for our dealership?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most deployments take 6-8 weeks from initial audit to go-live. Week 1-2: We map your workflows, interviewing key staff on pain points like fragmented lead data. Weeks 3-5: Design and build, integrating with your DMS and testing data accuracy on historical sales cycles. Final weeks: User training and optimization, ensuring your team can navigate KPI views effortlessly. For a mid-sized dealership, we've launched in as little as 4 weeks when focusing on core metrics like inventory and sales pipelines. Post-launch, we provide 30 days of support to refine based on real usage, guaranteeing quick ROI through reduced reporting time—often saving 15-20 hours weekly right away.
Can these dashboards help with compliance and regulatory reporting in the automotive industry?
Absolutely—compliance is baked in from the start. We design dashboards with audit-ready features, like timestamped data trails for finance transactions and exportable reports meeting FTC guidelines for advertising claims. For example, track CSI responses and resolution times to stay aligned with manufacturer standards. Our secure architecture uses encryption for sensitive info, such as customer financing details, and role-based access prevents unauthorized views. We've helped dealerships streamline NADA reporting and state inventory audits, reducing prep time by 50%. If you're dealing with recalls or emissions data, we customize views to flag non-compliant vehicles instantly. This not only ensures adherence but turns compliance into a competitive edge with proactive insights.
What kind of support do you offer after the dashboard is implemented?
Our partnership doesn't end at deployment; we provide tiered support to keep your system optimized. Initial 90-day warranty includes unlimited tweaks based on feedback, like adding widgets for new EV inventory metrics. Ongoing, opt for our maintenance package—starting at $500/month—for 24/7 monitoring, quarterly updates, and performance audits to handle volume spikes during tax season. Our team, with automotive software vets, responds within hours to issues, ensuring 99% uptime. Clients appreciate proactive enhancements, such as AI upgrades for better lead scoring. If your dealership expands, we scale seamlessly without full rebuilds. This builder mindset means you're not left maintaining a complex system alone—we handle the tech so you focus on selling cars.
How secure is the data in your custom dashboards, especially for customer information?
Security is paramount in our builds, adhering to SOC 2 standards and automotive-specific regs like GDPR for customer data. We use end-to-end encryption for transmissions between your DMS and dashboard, with multi-factor authentication and IP whitelisting to restrict access. Sensitive details, like loan apps or service histories, are anonymized in views and stored in compliant cloud infrastructure. Regular vulnerability scans and penetration testing catch issues before they arise—we've maintained zero breaches across 150+ deployments. For dealerships, this means peace of mind during cyber threats targeting auto finance data. We also enable granular permissions, so sales sees leads without finance details. Training your team on best practices is included, ensuring your data remains a fortress while delivering actionable insights.
