SYSTEM: DEAL TO DELIVERY
Your dealership runs onhand‑typed make‑readies.Deal to Delivery makes it one accurate record.
One hand-typed make-ready with the wrong stock number, and sales, finance, and your customer are all out of sync. This fixes it.
Deal to Delivery pulls every make-ready straight from PBS, desks the deal, and gives sales, finance, and service one accurate view of every vehicle, from the desk to the driveway.

What it looks like
Two of the views your team works in every day.
Every department on the same page, with the data they actually need to move the next car.
View · Get Ready Dashboard
This is what your delivery day looks like.
Every vehicle scheduled for delivery, with live status from every department on a single line. The view your sales floor and delivery coordinator share, no more morning huddle.
View · Recon Dashboard
And this is where the bottlenecks surface.
Every vehicle in recon, sorted by time stuck. The cars holding up your business surface before they cost you a sale, with the exact stage and department responsible.
Live Dealership Activity
This is happening right now inside a dealership.
Every handoff, status change, and exception, flowing through one system instead of a group text.

The Problem
This is where trust, and your margin, disappear.
Manual handoffs don't just slow vehicles down. They spread wrong information across your whole store, and that's what actually costs you deals.
Make-readies are typed by hand
One handoff email, one chance to get the stock number or customer name wrong. And it happens more than anyone wants to admit.
Salespeople find out from the customer, not the system
No visibility into their own deliveries until something's already gone wrong.
Sales and finance are fighting over information, not the deal
Nobody trusts the last handoff, so everyone re-checks everyone else's work.
Vehicles still sit 3–7 days between departments
Bad information doesn't just cause fights. It stalls the car too.
The Insight
It's not that your team is slow. It's the information they're working from.
The Deal to Delivery Principle
One Accurate Record
Straight from PBS. Visible to everyone who touches the deal.
No more retyped make-readies. No more guessing what finance meant. Every role sees the same live, accurate record, from desk to delivery.
Sales Manager
No more refereeing sales vs. finance. Every handoff is a timestamped record, not a phone call nobody remembers.
Salespeople
See your own deliveries live. Get notified the moment something's wrong, instead of finding out from your customer.
Finance
Make-readies pull straight from PBS. No retyping stock numbers or customer names by hand.
Service / Internal Advisor
Accurate information in, accurate work out. Less time chasing down what a handoff actually meant.
Where Cars Get Stuck
Every dealership looks like this, even if you don't see it.
This is the part of the problem you can see. The same bad information that stalls a car in recon is stalling deals everywhere else in your store.
Trade-In
Waiting to be appraised & logged
Inspection
Sitting until someone walks it
Service
Stuck behind RO scheduling
Parts
Idle until parts are confirmed
Detail
Waiting for service sign-off
Front Line
Held back from delivery prep
Every step depends on accurate information from the one before it. Get it wrong once, and the whole line stalls.

How It Works
Deal desked → Trade-in logged → Recon triggered → Delivery ready.
Every vehicle becomes a workflow the moment the deal is desked. Each step pulls from PBS and automatically triggers the next, until it's delivered.
Deal desked
The deal is built and desked in Deal to Delivery, not a side spreadsheet. That's what makes it truly deal to delivery.
Trade-in logged
Appraised and entered, recon kicks off automatically. No one has to remember to start it.
Recon triggered
Service, parts, and detail each get the next step the instant the last one finishes.
Delivery ready
Photos, frontline, final QA, the car is ready the day you need it, not two days later.
What Changes
One system. Every vehicle. Every handoff.
Deal to Delivery replaces the spreadsheets, texts, and whiteboards with one connected workflow.
No more chasing where a car is. Every vehicle has a live status and a clear next step.
No more wrong stock numbers or customer names. Make-readies pull straight from PBS instead of a hand-typed email.
Salespeople see their own deliveries. Live status without waiting on a text back from service or detail.
Every handoff has a record and an owner. Nobody can hide behind an email or an unanswered call.
Delivery dates stop slipping. Detail, photos, and frontline are triggered, not remembered.
One system across your DMS, service, detail, and the desk. No rip-and-replace, and now the deal itself lives in it too.
The Cost
This is happening right now in your inventory.
Every day a vehicle sits between departments, the cost stacks up, holding fees, lost sales, and wasted hours you can't get back.

TOOLS TO MOVE ONE CAR
Texts, spreadsheets, whiteboards, and one hand-typed email from finance. Nobody owns the gaps or the accuracy.
The Ripple Effect
One delay creates three more.
A missed handoff doesn't just slow one vehicle. It cascades across recon, inventory, and delivery, and compounds every day it goes unresolved.
Trigger 01
A make-ready email has the wrong stock number
Cascade
Detail preps the wrong vehicle
Sales promises a delivery date on a car that isn't ready
Finance and sales spend the afternoon sorting it out
Trigger 02
A handoff happens over a call nobody documents
Cascade
Service holds a bay for a car that already moved
Nobody can say who confirmed what, or when
Sales loses confidence in the promised delivery date

Why It Works
It's a system, not a task tracker.
Most dealership tools track work. Deal to Delivery runs the workflow between every department, which is where the time and margin actually leak.
It connects the workflow, not just the tasks.
Task tools track to-dos. Deal to Delivery tracks the vehicle, the handoff, and the dependency chain between every department.
It runs the system, your team runs the work.
Service writers, detail leads, and frontline managers stop coordinating. The system assigns, triggers, and escalates automatically.
It pulls from PBS, not a keyboard.
Stock numbers, customer info, and make-readies come straight from your DMS. No manual re-entry, no typos traveling from finance to the shop floor.
How It Fits Your Dealership
An operational layer, not another system to manage.
Deal to Delivery slots in alongside your DMS and your existing tools. It doesn't replace them. It runs the work that happens between them.
Sits on top of your DMS, and desks the deal
PBS, CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack, Deal to Delivery integrates as the operational layer above your existing system of record, with a built-in desking tool so the deal and the delivery live in the same place.
No rip and replace
Your team keeps the tools they already use. Deal to Delivery owns the workflow between them.
Designed for the people doing the work
Service writers, detailers, frontline managers, sales, built around real dealership roles, not generic project boards.
