Software for car dealers
Custom internal tool for car dealers
A small web app that replaces the spreadsheet your team has outgrown. For car dealerships, it matters most while the team is out on the lot with buyers. The usual trouble: leads from AutoTrader and Cars.com wait too long for a reply.
What this fixes for car dealerships
Leads from AutoTrader and Cars.com wait too long for a reply. It costs time every week, which is why car dealerships ask for the custom internal tool.
What it looks like in practice
Imagine an independent used-car dealer with around 60 cars on the lot. The sheet that tracks vehicles has grown to twelve tabs and breaks when two people edit it. It becomes a small app with a form, a list and a history of who changed what.
How it works for car dealers
Here is how the custom internal tool runs day to day for car dealerships.
- We map what the spreadsheet does today.
- I build a simple app with the right screens.
- Data moves over from Google Sheets.
- Permissions and history are added.
- Your team gets logins and a walkthrough.
Tools it connects to
For car dealerships, I usually connect it to DealerSocket, VinSolutions and Google Sheets. It runs on Next.js, Supabase and n8n behind the scenes.
Questions from car dealerships
Does the custom internal tool work with DealerSocket?
It depends on your DealerSocket plan. Some tools open their data through an API and some keep it locked, so before we start I check what yours allows. If a direct connection isn't possible, I'll say so and suggest a workaround before you pay anything.
What happens if something breaks?
The custom internal tool sends you an alert when a step fails, so it never fails quietly in the middle of a busy week. You can fix small things with the notes I leave, or add the care plan at $49 a month and I'll handle it.
Will my buyers notice anything?
Not directly. The custom internal tool works in the background for your team. What buyers notice is nothing different, except fewer mistakes.
