Dealership Website & ERP Development

What we build for dealerships

Scoped to your dealership — the front of house and the back office share one set of data.

How dealership software gets built properly

The goal is one source of truth from the showroom page to the tax invoice.

1. 1

   Map the three businesses

   Sales, service and spare parts each have their own flow of stock, money and paperwork. We map all three before designing a screen, because the ERP must serve them together.

2. 2

   Model inventory and variants

   Models, variants, colours and individual units are modelled so a price difference between two colours of the same model is data, not a note.

3. 3

   Build the showroom on live inventory

   The website reads the same inventory the counter sells from, so in-stock badges and prices are never out of date.

4. 4

   Make every enquiry specific

   Enquiry buttons carry the model, colour and price in context, so sales staff answer a real question instead of “is this available?”.

5. 5

   Integrate compliance at the point of sale

   Tax-authority integration and warranty registration happen as part of ringing up a sale, not as a separate end-of-month task.

6. 6

   Roll out by department

   Each department moves onto the system with its own training and data migration, so the dealership keeps trading throughout.

What usually goes wrong with dealership systems

These are the gaps a connected build is designed to close.

• A brochure website

  Static pages with a contact form don’t help anyone choose a vehicle. The site works like a configurator — compare, view, price — and hands over a qualified lead.

• Stock that disagrees with the website

  A site maintained by hand shows sold units as available. The website reads live inventory from the ERP.

• Accounting tools that don’t understand vehicles

  Generic accounting software can’t model variants, chassis-level units or warranty. The ERP is built around them.

• Tax compliance as an afterthought

  Re-keying sales into a tax portal later invites errors and penalties. Compliance is integrated into the point of sale.

• Anonymous enquiries

  A blank “is this available?” message costs the sales team a round trip. Enquiries arrive pre-filled with the exact vehicle and price.

DMS (dealer management system)

Software that runs a dealership’s operations — inventory, sales, service, parts, finance and staff — from one database.

ERP

Enterprise resource planning: a single system connecting a business’s departments so they work from the same data.

Variant pricing

Different prices for versions of the same model — by colour, trim or specification — stored as structured data.

POS (point of sale)

Where a sale is recorded and invoiced, at the counter or online, and where tax and warranty records begin.

Warranty management

Registering each sold unit’s warranty and tracking claims against it through the service department.
