Dealership Employee Costs
The true cost of General Purpose Tools

In today's economic climate and fast-paced automotive industry, efficiency is key to maintaining competitive advantage and customer satisfaction. Yet, many dealerships cling to legacy delivery coordination tools, that haven't changed much in years, that drain time and resources.

The Hidden Costs of Inefficiency

Every minute lost to inefficient processes adds up. Consider this: a few extra minutes per employee might seem insignificant daily, but when annualized, these minutes translate into tens of thousands of dollars in payroll expenses—money that brings no added value to your dealership or your customers.

And this doesn't even account for the potential lost opportunities in sales and customer service due to slower processes - as well as unnecessary operational redundancies.

Some common ways to lose time (and productivity)

footsteps
Walking for answers

Employees often waste valuable time physically moving between departments to get the information they need for vehicle deliveries, leading to inefficiencies and delays.

Waiting for answers

Time is lost when employees have to wait for responses from colleagues or managers, causing bottlenecks in the delivery process and slowing down overall operations.

search (5)
Looking for answers

Searching through deal files, emails, notes, and systems to find the necessary information for vehicle delivery can be time-consuming and frustrating, reducing productivity.

board-meeting (1)
Meeting for coordination

Frequent meetings to coordinate delivery details across departments consume significant amounts of time that could be better spent on productive tasks.

conflict
Managing conflicts

Scheduling conflicts between departments, such as sales, service, and finance, often require additional time to resolve, leading to delays in vehicle deliveries.

time
Handling paperwork

The manual handling of paperwork, including finding, filing, and correcting documents, is a major time sink and often leads to errors and inefficiencies.

trade-in tracker

Trade-in Tracker

Define the workflow

The task lists are ultimately the buckets into which you drop work items that need to be completed. The work to be completed comes in the form of two types of tasks - static and dynamic.

Forms are flexible in capturing information as they can be made up of checkboxes, lists, and text fields. With Delivery Hub's form functionality, you can replace any paper form or spreadsheet used for tracking purposes.

Track Work In Progress

A staged task is a property that can be enabled for static and dynamic types.

When enabled, a task includes an 'in progress' status instead of the default two stage (incomplete / complete).

Audit for accountability

The audit log, per delivery, creates accountability throughout the dealership by tracking line item modifications.

The audit log includes timestamp, user, and the modification including what it was and what it was changed to.

Keep departments synced

With a built-in notification system, you are able to keep all departments and employees up-to-date with the sold vehicle preparation workflow.

Notifications can be configured to be sent individually, or batched on a timer.

Navigating Common Concerns: Your Questions Answered

How quickly can you enter a new delivery?

It's less than a minute. It's a few text fields and dropdowns then tick your form items, and then hit save - automated notifications will be sent out.

Our interface is designed for speed and ease of use, ensuring your team can update information swiftly without interrupting their workflow.

Won’t this system cause double entry?
Delivery Hub helps reduce the impact of "double entry". Your staff are already entering data into some form—be it paper forms, spreadsheets, or emails. Our system centralizes this data, eliminating the need for multiple entries and reducing errors.
Is there a limit to how many deliveries I can schedule?
No, there is no limit to the number of deliveries you can schedule with Delivery Hub. Our goal is to help your dealership grow and manage increasing volumes efficiently, without compromising on service quality.
How many users can be added to the system?

Delivery Hub can accommodate as many users as your dealership requires. We understand that every department is vital, and our system is built to scale with your business, ensuring everyone stays connected.

Will my staff actually use the system?

Absolutely! Over 50% of our users log in daily, engaging with the system for about 3 minutes and 15 seconds each session, which indicates high adoption and effectiveness.

To ensure you experience the value Delivery Hub can bring to your dealership, we offer a two-month trial period before any payment is required. This allows your team ample time to integrate the system into their daily routines and see the tangible benefits—like reduced workload and fewer errors—ensuring it becomes an essential part of their operations.

What if my team is resistant to change?

We understand that change can be challenging, which is why Delivery Hub is designed for flexibility and ease of adoption. Not everyone in your dealership needs to use the system extensively to see its benefits. Even core stakeholders in the delivery process will find that the advanced tools and features of Delivery Hub significantly enhance their efficiency and reduce their workload.

By streamlining critical operations and providing impactful solutions to daily challenges, Delivery Hub quickly demonstrates its value, making the transition smoother and encouraging wider adoption among your team.

What about system integrations?
We are continuously improving Delivery Hub to support your needs. Currently, we are testing inventory integrations via CSV files. This will allow you to seamlessly sync inventory data with Delivery Hub, further streamlining your operations.

A Future-Focused Approach

Implementing Delivery Hub isn’t about cutting costs by reducing headcount; it’s about investing in your staff’s potential.

By reallocating time to areas that generate more value and satisfaction, your dealership can enjoy increased productivity, happier employees, and a stronger bottom line without sacrificing the familial culture that you’ve worked hard to build.

From Small to Large:
Optimizing Workflows for Dealerships of All Sizes

In smaller volume stores, Delivery Hub offers the flexibility to operate without a dedicated coordinator. Our intuitive digital platform streamlines processes, allowing existing staff to manage tasks efficiently without the need for additional personnel.

For larger stores, Delivery Hub acts as a force multiplier, empowering a coordinator to handle increased volumes with ease. With 24/7 digital coverage, fewer personnel can oversee operations, freeing up resources for other critical tasks while ensuring seamless coordination and communication across departments.
