View your dealership in a snapshot – and then dig deeper. All in real-time.

Pentana Solutions knows just how important it is to be able to view inside an organisation - at any moment in time, from anywhere - and be able to analyse where it’s been and where it’s going. Because it’s only with this information that senior management can make informed, quick decisions in crucial situations. With clear, easy to understand graphs and business intelligence tools, we make it easy for you to have a handle on your business at all times - to discover weak points and forecast great ones.

The accounting and business intelligence capabilities of DealerPRO address these requirements for Financial Controllers and Dealer Principals - providing the tools needed to truly analyse dealerships at every level. Within the Accounting module, senior management are allowed precise control of the development of management strategies; harnessing the ability to analyse set objectives, study variations and critical areas, and ultimately action any corrective strategy immediately. Comprehensive budgeting features allow dealers to produce relevant budgets and monitor performance throughout the year.

Most importantly, you gain complete transparency and control. Using pre-defined rules and processes, the electronic management of the accounts department is guaranteed. Payments are electronically approved using processes created through advanced integration and the monitoring and managing of orders transfers across the entire organisation.

Dealers have access to accurate financial reporting for every area of their operation. Management can opt for exception reports, summary reports or drill down into more detailed reporting that provides analyses across the entire business. That includes drilling down to the individual contribution of all customers and employees. DealerPRO also supports multiple businesses within an organisation with full consolidation – and full visibility of all updated data in real-time. Consolidation is supported across multiple organisations and VAT entities.

Business Intelligence

As mentioned, the sophisticated Accounting module uses cutting-edge technology to bring you the very nitty gritty data that makes up your dealership. However, we know sometimes there’s not enough time to properly examine the full set of data the solution offers. That’s why we’ve taken it one step further. Complementary to DealerPRO’s detailed accounting module is the fully integrated Business Intelligence module that works in tandem to simplify the accounting statistics for you.

The Business Intelligence module examines and analyses the numbers for you, and then provides you with a simple, immediate picture of management and commercial performance, trends, strengths and weaknesses. With clarity and forecast knowledge, you’ll have the tools you need to take the next best step for your business and solidify your competitive edge in the market.

How does it work?

The Business Intelligence module automates and customises the data based on set criteria, and then displays a dashboard of charts that breaks down the company’s performance in various spheres: marketing and pre-sales, new, used vehicles, warehouse, workshop, financial management etc. With such a specific look at each segment of your business, you’re able to zoom in on exactly just what you want to know. Furthermore, the intuitive solution is able to provide comparisons and even offer suggestions customised to your dealership, doing the time-consuming analytical work for you.

The biggest advantage to DealerPRO’s Business Intelligence module is that it is completely integrated with the management software, ensuring accurate and reliable data processing. From the moment the data is collected in real-time to the viewing of the dashboard, you can rest assured the data is exactly what your company reflects, as it came straight from the DMS itself. Additionally, the dashboards can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection, allowing senior management to always have involvement in key decision making, regardless of their whereabouts.

In a constantly changing, competitive market, the ability to quickly see market changes and challenges- and adapt accordingly- rests heavily on the success of an organisation. The Business Intelligence helps you always stay one step ahead of the competition.
