A ledger per seller, with no deletes

Every consignment gets its own trust ledger. The cash book has no deletes, and every change is kept in the change log.

Deadlines that time themselves

Timers run on the trust deadlines: money banked before the end of the next business day, register entries within 24 hours (ahead of the 2 business days the rules allow), and the seller paid within 42 days of settlement, or 14 days if they ask in writing.

  • Bank by the next business day
  • Register within 24 hours
  • Seller paid within 42 days of settlement
  • Only the licensee can withdraw trust money

Finance payouts in the right order

Lender details are captured at signing. At sale, the app produces the payout letter, re-checks PPSR, and pays the lender, then the seller, then the dealer.

  • Payout letter generated
  • PPSR re-check before payout
  • Settlement statements and remittance advice
