Truck, trailer and commercial vehicle dealers
Trucks, trailers and the workshop behind the sale
Your customers are fleets, and a truck off the road costs them money every day it sits. DealershipSoft keeps the unit, its parts and every job on one record, so the service side is as good as the sale.

Listings
Your stock, on trucksales
DealershipSoft syndicates to the carsales network, which carries trucksales alongside the other categories in this list. Trucks you have already entered once go out to the listing site without being typed again.
Straight answer
What we do not do
Servicing is scheduled by date, not by odometer or hours. Both are recorded against the job and kept on the unit record, but neither triggers the next booking. Worth knowing before you see the demo rather than during it.

The parts of it this trade leans on
Questions truck and trailer dealers ask
Straight answers, before the demo
Can I sell a truck and a trailer on the one invoice?
Yes. The truck and the trailer each carry their own unit record with their own VIN or serial, and both can go on the one invoice. A trade-in comes back in as its own unit rather than a line on the deal, so its history starts the day you take it.
Will it hold compliance and inspection records against the truck?
Yes. Inspections are recorded against the unit with the result kept on the record, alongside every job and part. Because the record belongs to the truck rather than to the person who signed the contract, it survives a change of owner, which is the only thing a fleet asks about at trade-in.
Does it handle the workshop side for fleet customers?
That is the half it is strongest at. Retail, warranty, internal and recon jobs sit on one screen, parts come off stock onto the job, and technician hours are booked against it. Odometer and hours are recorded against the unit, so the service history is complete when the fleet asks for it.
Does it schedule the next service on odometer or hours?
No. Both are recorded against the job and kept on the unit record, so the history is there, but servicing is scheduled by date and service reminders are raised against the unit.
