Stock and floor plan in the app. Sample data.
Aged stock is quietly eating your margin
A car that has sat for 75 days looks the same on the yard as one that arrived last week. The difference is floor plan interest, capital tied up and space, adding up every day.
Without a number on it, price drops happen late, the keys are never where they should be, and the listing on carsales still says what it said a month ago.
How it works
- 1
Create the stock card
Decode the VIN for specs and options, then add keys, compliance plate, rego expiry and service history. Set the ownership type.
- 2
Photograph and list
The photo app guides the shot list, removes backgrounds and orders the photos. Syndicate to the portals in one click.
- 3
Watch the clock
Holding cost accrues daily, and alerts at 30, 45, 60 and 90 days suggest a price drop or a wholesale exit.
A stock card that holds everything
VIN decode fills the specs and options. Keys, compliance plate, rego expiry and service history sit on the same card, and each car is marked owned, consigned, sale-or-return or wholesale so the money side is right.
- Ownership type per car
- Stock location and key tracking: yard, offsite, detailer, mechanic
- Safety certificate, gas certificate and rego expiry tracking
- Multi-location stock with transfers
Photos and listings done from your phone
The photo app gives you a shot list, removes backgrounds, orders photos and adds your watermark. Listings syndicate in one click to carsales, Autotrader, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace, Drive and your website, with descriptions written from the stock card and photos.
- Shot list guide and auto ordering
- Background removal and watermark
- Video walkaround
- Offline photo capture
Holding cost and aging, per car, every day
Each car accrues a holding cost daily, made up of floor plan interest, capital cost and yard space. Aging alerts at 30, 45, 60 and 90 days suggest price drops, every change is logged in the price history, and the wholesale exit flag marks cars to move on.
- Holding cost accruing daily
- Floor plan management: drawdown per car, daily interest, curtailment alerts and payout on sale
- Aging alerts with suggested price drops
- Price history log and price-drop effectiveness reporting
