The "Data Silo" Problem
Fragmented inventory data across DMS and vendor portals leaves managers guessing on OEM parts and vehicle stock availability during peak sales rushes for popular models like the Ford F-150
Manual sales tracking in CRM delays spotting underperforming EV models like the Tesla Model 3, causing missed opportunities in the competitive electric vehicle market
Lack of real-time service appointment metrics in shop management software results in overbooked repair bays and frustrated customers waiting for routine maintenance or collision repairs
Disconnected CRM and finance systems obscure customer financing trends for high-value trades like luxury sedans, slowing down deal approvals and loan processing
No centralized view of OEM parts inventory in supplier databases leads to delays in warranty claims processing, eroding trust with repeat buyers of certified pre-owned vehicles
Siloed lead data from online configurators and showroom visits hampers targeted follow-ups for hybrid vehicle promotions like the Toyota Prius

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's dashboard, we were chasing shadows with our SUV inventory like the Jeep Wrangler during the back-to-school rush. Now, we spot trends in real-time and moved 15 extra units last quarter without extra ad spend, thanks to integrated DMS alerts."
Mike Reynolds
General Manager, Central Ford Auto Group
"Our service team used to juggle spreadsheets for appointment tracking in our shop software, leading to double-bookings on collision repairs. The KPI platform cut no-shows by 22% in the first two months, and our techs are finishing jobs 20% faster with better bay scheduling."
Sarah Patel
Service Director, Metro Chevrolet Dealerships
"Integrating our CRM data into one view was a game-changer for financing approvals on high-value trades like BMW SUVs. We shaved two days off the process and closed deals on three trades that were hanging due to outdated loan metrics from disconnected systems."
Tom Vargas
Sales Operations Lead, Apex Toyota Motors

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the KPI platform integrate with our existing dealership management system?
We start by auditing your current DMS, such as CDK Global or Reynolds & Reynolds, to map data flows without disrupting operations. Our custom APIs create bidirectional syncs, pulling in real-time data on vehicle stock, sales, and service logs. This unified setup eliminates silos, with setup typically taking 4-6 weeks. We've handled integrations for dealerships with legacy systems, ensuring 100% data accuracy and minimal downtime—often under 2 hours during go-live.
Can the dashboard handle multiple dealership locations?
Absolutely, our enterprise-grade architecture is designed for scalability across sites. We consolidate data from various locations into a central dashboard, allowing group-wide KPI views alongside location-specific breakdowns. For example, compare sales velocity between your urban flagship and rural branch. It supports unlimited users and grows with your network, handling spikes like quarter-end rushes without lag. Clients report 40% better oversight post-implementation.
What specific KPIs are tracked for car dealerships?
We tailor KPIs to your operations, focusing on automotive essentials like days in inventory, cost per acquisition, service throughput, and lead conversion rates. Custom options include EV adoption trends or trade-in margins. Dashboards visualize these with charts and alerts, benchmarked against industry standards from Cox Automotive. This setup empowers data-driven moves, such as reallocating stock based on regional demand patterns, proven to lift efficiency by 25% in our projects.
Is the platform secure for handling sensitive customer data?
Security is paramount in automotive, where we deal with financing and personal info. Our dashboards use AES-256 encryption, SOC 2 compliance, and role-based permissions to safeguard data. We conduct regular audits and integrate with your existing security protocols. For instance, warranty details stay siloed per user need. No breaches in our 5+ years of deployments, giving peace of mind during high-volume seasons like tax refund periods.
How much customization is involved, and what's the timeline?
Full customization ensures the dashboard fits your workflow, from branding to metric selection. We collaborate on wireframes, incorporating feedback for intuitive layouts. Timelines average 8-12 weeks: 2 weeks discovery, 4-6 build/integration, 2 deployment/training. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, this owned system avoids ongoing tweaks. A mid-sized dealership we worked with saw their first ROI in month one through faster inventory decisions.
What support do you provide after launch?
Post-launch, we offer 90 days of included support for refinements, plus optional ongoing monitoring. Our team trains your staff via workshops and provides a knowledge base for self-service. For evolving needs, like new model launches, we schedule quarterly reviews. This builder approach ensures longevity— one client adjusted for post-pandemic supply issues within days, maintaining 98% uptime and sustained KPI gains.
