It’s a common story: you and your team are motivated, you keep processes in line with best practise, your showroom team is fantastic, and your aftersales team love their work and make CSI levels easy to maintain. But ‘that other dealership’ keeps winning awards, selling more cars and continue getting just that little better CSI rating.
You ask yourself, what makes them different, who is telling them how?
The truth is, nothing or nobody - it’s probably their business intelligence tool.
Like great leaders, great businesses know how to make decisions. They make decisions all day long that shape their future and long term success. However the difference between great businesses and the best businesses lies in the backing behind the decisions. Top Dealers are able to make decisions in a quick, confident manner because they have accurate data, tools, and information to back it up. When working in such a competitive industry, it’s essential to forge the future with proof, research and numbers behind it.
So it only makes sense that that’s where the secret lies: in the business intelligence tool. The tool that’s making your decisions.

Business Intelligence Included
Our Dealer Management System in the United Kingdom, DealerPRO’s Business Intelligence module is integrated, mobile and included. This wasn’t a fluke decision on our part. It was a calculated, researched decision to include Business Intelligence as an integrated standard in our dealer management systems because we know the effect it has on the bottom line. In DealerPRO, business intelligence isn’t an added extra with slow to market integrations into your DMS CRM, Accounting or showroom modules; it’s a living, breathing and evolving set of dashboards at one with your dealer management system. And it’s this seamless integration that provides live updates to keep top businesses ahead of the pack.
Out with the Old, In with the New
We’ve learned over 40 years that business intelligence tools can not only provide clear, concise, accurate data – but have the power to proactively drive profit. However, we also know that traditional business intelligence tools in the market have often been the contrary - more of a drain to use, more of a hassle than help. During market research, the words: ‘clunky’, ‘non-intuitive’, ‘time consuming’, ‘troublesome’ and ‘slow’ were often used. Senior management furthered this by saying business intelligence ‘require key staff to be desk bound, instead of out driving the business’ while others lamented the inflexibility and even ignorance of the BYOD movement.
That’s where we knew we could help. While outdated business intelligence tools were proving the opposite of intelligent; we did a 180 and provided something fresh and new. DealerPRO’s new included business intelligence tool is smart, intuitive, and powerful. Smart on the PC and smart enough to be mobile optimised, so whether you’re out talking to your aftersales manager or even on holidays with the family you can use your mobile device of choice to make sure business is tracking to target. Such a powerful, flexible business intelligence tool is the aforementioned tool top dealers around the world are using to make decisions – decisions with accurate reporting, measuring, and backing - needed to lead the pack.
In essence, business intelligence tools do have the ability to provide a helicopter view of your dealership, right now, from wherever you are. They can delve right down to the transactional detail at the very moment you need it most. And they can provide the platform you need to drive future profit in your business. Well, at least this one does, and our top dealers are proving it’s worth a second look.
