How Do Your Numbers Stack Up?
Key Performance Indicators
Getting your business running smoothly requires looking at your KPI’s (key performance indicators) and reacting when they’re off the mark. Here’s a few numbers you should be watching:
Quick Overview
The opening screen presents you with quick info about your business that can be used on a daily basis. Each of the tiles will take you to a detailed report showing where that data comes from and allows you to take a deep dive into any area of your business. From learning about your sales, finding your best customers to send out Christmas cards, getting a list of missing customers to follow up with, or learning how the direct mail campaign for BMW’s worked out. We’ve got it, with no waiting or complicated menu’s to get what you need.
The Dashboard
The Dashboard report gives you access to data based on a timeframe. For instance, we can show you a month-to-date report of sales, costs, profit, margins, percentages, billed hours, average RO, gross profit per hour, efficiency, ratios, sales by new and existing customers, vehicle information and even your declined sales. Push a button and get a comparison to the previous periods. Again, no waiting. It would take roughly a dozen reports to get this info. Now it’s at your fingertips. There’s a shop comparison mode that will show multi-store owners what’s happening in each of their shops on one screen.
Current Work Status
The Current Work Status report gives you a quick look at what’s happening right now in your shop. We’ll show you your sales so far today, what you have that’s marked as ready to be picked up and your current work in progress lineup.
Sales-to-Date
This report gives you up to the minute information, a quick look at where you stand. Today, this week, & this month in one easy to understand report. Also shows you what’s ready in your shop waiting to be picked up and how much work is ongoing in the shop right now. This report gets emailed to you every night along with being able to view it here.
Customer Analysis
Looking to create mailing lists of your new customers for followup?, Need a list of your best customers from last year to send a quick thank you note too?, How about a list of all the customers that came into your shop last month and not show the ones marked as “Do not market”? Yep, we can do that in seconds. Fully customizable and exporting enabled for mailing lists, etc.
Weekly/Monthly Sales
The Dashboard report gives you access to data based on a timeframe. For instance, we can show you a month-to-date report of sales, costs, profit, margins, percentages, billed hours, average RO, gross profit per hour, efficiency, ratios, sales by new and exisiting customers, and even your declined sales.
Vehicle Analysis (1)
There are several reasons to study the vehicles that come into your shop. First, wouldn’t it be nice to know how many of each make you’ve worked on and which ones were the most profitable? Simple. Pick a time period and we’ll show you in seconds what manufacturers you should be concentrating on and what to stay clear of. Complete with graphs of sales, profit margins, average sales, and more.
Advertising Analysis
The second part of analyzing your vehicle count is knowing if your targeted advertising campaigns are paying off. Let’s say you spent $1,500 on a direct mail camping in March and April focused on BMW and Mercedes owners. The New Vehicle report will show you exactly how many of those cars came to you during that time period of those makes, how much was taken in and what the profitability for each was.
