Operations dashboard for car dealers
Leads from AutoTrader and Cars.com wait too long for a reply. For car dealerships that's a common story, and it's what the operations dashboard is for. One screen with the numbers and tasks that run your business, updated live.
Why car dealerships ask for this
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 operations dashboard.
What it looks like in practice
Picture a small family dealership with a service bay. You open one page in the morning and see today's test drives, what's overdue and how the week compares to last, pulled from DealerSocket. A red flag shows one thing that needs you.
How it works for car dealers
Once the operations dashboard is running for a small family dealership with a service bay, this is the sequence.
- We choose the numbers and lists you need to see.
- I connect DealerSocket and your other tools.
- A simple dashboard shows today, this week and trends.
- Alerts fire when something needs attention.
- You get logins for your team.
Tools it connects to
It plugs into the tools car dealerships already use, such as DealerSocket, VinSolutions and Google Sheets, and runs on Next.js, Supabase and n8n.
Questions from car dealerships
Does the operations dashboard work with DealerSocket?
Often, yes. Before building the operations dashboard I check your DealerSocket account and plan, because some features depend on API access. If there's a gap for your car dealership setup, you'll know before you pay anything.
What happens if something breaks?
The operations dashboard 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.
How long does it take to set up for car dealerships?
Plan on 2 to 4 weeks from the day I get access to your accounts. Most of that is testing with your real test drives and messages, so nothing goes live until it behaves the way you want.
