CarMinds outside-in view, operational expertise and attention to detail can help you dramatically streamline customer experiences and employee engagement.

 

Data-backed decision making – Let’s face it, dealerships often make decisions solely based on what worked in the past, “shooting from the hip,” or entrenched personality/power dynamics. CarMinds takes a data-based approach to enhance decision making. We help you simplify complex data and distill it into actionable insights enabling you to stay laser focused on income-generating activities that produce measurable results.

 

Establish KPIs – How do you measure success for your business? Are there clear metrics of what good looks like? CarMinds establishes and refines individual, departmental and companywide KPIs and works with you to improve them.  Achieve  goals by driving efficiencies with improved accountability as well as identifying coaching opportunities that improves buy-in and reduces costly turnover.

Inventory – From vehicles to parts and accessories, improve your inventory health, turn and ROI.
