carassessments.com.au is consignment dealer software that runs every consigned car from the seller’s first enquiry to the day they’re paid: agreement, e-sign, listing, offers, settlement statement and payout. It was built inside TradeBeat, a licensed QLD consignment dealer, so the trust ledger, Form 9 and deadline timers match what an auditor actually asks for.

A consigned car in the app. Sample data.
Your 7am summary lands on your phone: new seller enquiries, consignments expiring this week and any trust deadline coming due. You know where the day starts before you reach the yard.
A seller drops off a Hilux. You work through the 11-section inspection on your phone, the score out of 100 builds as you go, and the PPSR check runs from the same screen.
The consignment agreement fills in with the reserve, commission and term you agreed. The seller e-signs on their own phone, with ID and proof of ownership uploaded, and the finance owing is captured for payout later.
A buyer offers under reserve on a car that’s been listed 40 days. You forward it to the consignor, who accepts, counters or declines from a link, and the answer is logged on the car.
An aging alert suggests a drop on a slow seller. The consignor approves the new price by SMS link, the listing updates and the price history keeps the record.
A car settled today. The settlement statement shows sale price minus commission, fees, recon and the financier payout, the lender is paid first, then the seller, and the remittance advice goes out.
TradeBeat is a licensed QLD consignment dealer, and this software is the system it runs on. Every screen, from the seller intake to the settlement statement, was shaped by consigning real cars for real sellers. Where generic dealer software treats consignment as an afterthought, here it is the starting point.

Software that runs the consignment side of a car yard: the agreement with the seller, reserve and commission, listing, buyer offers, the settlement statement and the payout. carassessments.com.au does all of that in one app, alongside buying and selling your own stock.
Yes. Finance owing is captured at signing with a PPSR check and a payout letter request. On settlement the financier is paid first and the balance goes to the seller, all shown on the settlement statement.
Yes. You send a price change request and the consignor approves it from an SMS link. Buyer offers can be relayed the same way for them to accept, counter or decline.
QLD compliance is live now, including the digital Form 9 and trust ledger rules. NSW and VIC compliance packs are next. The rest of the app, from inspection to settlement, works anywhere in Australia. One exception for consignment: Victorian traders can’t consign cars for private owners, so in VIC consignment is trader to trader only.
Recon jobs done on the consignor’s behalf are logged on the car with the cost, and they come off the consignor’s net on the settlement statement.
Leave your email. We’ll set up twenty minutes and run a real car through it, from first enquiry to settlement and the profit on the car.
