WRITING
A $7,500
CHECK
DAILY
Turning Operational Chaos into Profit
A
s a former Fixed Operations Director, I've
seen the impact of inefficiency in automotive
dealership operations firsthand. Looking
back, it often felt like I was writing a check for $7,500
every single day, a cost paid in lost time and missed
opportunities. It wouldn't have been uncommon on
any given day for me to have been stopped, called, or
on a hunt to locate a vehicle or key so that a technician
could move on with their day, an advisor could give an
update to a customer, or a salesperson could locate a
vehicle that they were trying to demo or sell. Sure, we
had a key machine. But it was only good for letting you
know who checked the key out last and it provided
zero information on the location if the key was not in
the key machine.
PICTURE THIS:
A technician finds a key and walks outside holding the
key above his head while hitting the alarm or lock button
to locate the vehicle so he knows what direction
to walk in. Then he finds that the battery in the key
fob is dead or the vehicle is parked all the way on the
40
other side of the building. That's terrible inefficiency,
right? This realization inspired much thought about
how dealerships manage location data for vehicles &
keys in service, new, and used.
