Every side spreadsheet, as a log.
A dealership runs on lists nobody planned to keep: what is funded, what is in the shop, who is owed a key. Each one is a log here, built from the deal and updated when the deal changes, so nobody retypes it.
- Contracts in transitThe funding schedule is where a dealership's receivables sit between delivery and the bank's payment.Read about it
- Recon boardMost recon boards drift: cars listed that are not here, parts waits held in someone's head, and a group chat running the handoff to detail.Read about it
- Wholesale boardWholesale units are used inventory waiting to go to auction.Read about it
- Trade logA trade is not inventory until the deal delivers, and the odometer reading goes on a title.Read about it
- Loaner trackingLoaner programs live on paper logs that get read aloud in a sales managers' review.Read about it
- We-owe trackerA second key, a bedliner, tires: the things owed to a customer at delivery are easy to promise and easy to lose.Read about it
- Special ordersWhen a part arrives for a customer who left, the store has a window to get them back.Read about it
- Delivery calendarA delivery is a promise made at a specific time.Read about it
- Month-end recapThe recap is the report a GM signs off on, and it is usually a workbook rebuilt by hand.Read about it
- Finance orderWho is up next for the next deal is a small question that causes big arguments.Read about it
