What it is
Serial, VIN or HIN, from purchase to sale
A dealership runs on serials. What you paid, what went into it, who you sold it to, and everything you have done since.
What it does for a dealer
In practice
- Track by serial, VIN or HIN, whichever the trade uses.
- Purchase, recon, sale and service against one number.
- Find the invoice in seconds when a warranty question lands.

What you can do with it
A dealership runs on serials. It is the difference between a system built for units and one built for cars with a plate.
- Serial, VIN or HIN recorded on acquisition and carried through to sale.
- Acquire a unit into floor stock with its cost, then add recon and internal work against it.
- Order a unit in for a customer and track it from order to arrival to delivery.
- Images and a description held against a unit for sale.
- Internal work on a unit invoiced internally rather than to a customer.
- Sell the unit with trade in, parts and accessories on the one deal.
- Dealership templates so the same class of unit is set up the same way every time.
- Search on a serial fragment when the customer only has half of it.
Engine hours are recorded against the unit and against the job. They are not used to trigger the next service: scheduling runs on date or distance. Better said here than discovered on a demo.

Recorded in Workshop Software. DealershipSoft is the same platform with unit sales added, so this works the same way.
