Business intelligence and car dealer analytics streamline inventory management by giving you a centralised platform to access real-time inventory data.
Previously, only big brands could afford sophisticated business intelligence tools. These days, most dealerships can find an inventory management solution to suit their needs. In this post, we unpack how these tools can improve your dealership.
Top inventory benefits to implementing business intelligence and analytics include:
Apart from these general benefits, car dealer analytics and business intelligence can assist your used car and wholesale inventory management. Let's dive in.
The success of your used and wholesale car departments depends on careful inventory management — a factor that business intelligence can greatly improve.
Imagine a trade-in arrives at your dealership. The right inventory solution will limit human error by guiding how this vehicle is appraised and registered. Analytics can be used to decide whether this car should be added to retail or wholesale stock.
As it enters the refurbishment phase, business intelligence can feed you real-time information, helping you keep costs in check while updating your profit forecasts. Efficiency tools can ensure that your stock quickly gets to market. Dealer analytics can also re-evaluate old units and optimise prices.
All this that your used vehicles are accounted for and sold at the fastest possible rate.
As aftermarket inventories become more complex, especially with an increase in SKUs, dealerships are turning to analytics to replace aging solutions. A key challenge is knowing what to stock and in what quantities.
Dealer analytics tools solve this by crunching sales and customer data and making inventory recommendations. The more data you feed your analytics tool, the better it gets at predicting buyer behaviour. These tools can also identify old stock and initiate promotions to sell them off.
Another benefit comes from business intelligence that tracks your whole dealership. By providing a holistic view of dealership inventory, aftermarket managers can align their stock with the car models that are sold by the dealership. By keeping the aftermarket department in the loop with deals, they'll have the customer and model information needed for a frictionless sales process.
