DealerDevice Online supports the way marine and specialty dealers actually build transactions, including separate boat, trailer and motor inventories, virtual rigging, accessories, repair-order costs, sales, financing, leasing, contracts and dealer reporting.
A boat sale is often more than one inventory unit. DealerDevice keeps the primary boat or vehicle, trailers and motors in separate inventory databases, then allows the dealership to bring the correct components together in one customer transaction.
DealerDevice maintains separate inventory databases for the primary boat or vehicle, trailers, and motors.
That means trailers and motors remain separately inventoried units rather than being reduced to simple accessory line items, while still being available for the same customer deal.
A marine dealer can select the boat, a trailer and up to two separately inventoried motors and combine them into the same transaction.
The selected serial-numbered units can remain part of one coordinated sale instead of forcing the dealership to treat each major component as an unrelated customer transaction.
DealerDevice can combine the selected boat, trailer and motors into one transaction, one contract and one payment book for the customer.
This helps the dealership keep the complete package together while preserving the separate inventory identity of the major components.
Trailers and motors may have their own serial numbers, licensing requirements, tax treatment, costs or departmental accounting. DealerDevice keeps those components distinct in inventory while allowing them to be sold as part of the same package.
A transaction can also include up to 17 accessory items.
For automobile transactions, examples can include custom wheels, GAP insurance or alarms. For marine transactions, examples can include Coast Guard packages, fenders and other equipment.
DealerDevice also supports up to 14 repair-order entries that can be used to account for costs added to the unit before the sale.
Examples include bottom paint on a boat or pre-installed windshield etching with a vehicle serial number.
DealerDevice allows the salesperson to virtually rig the package in the software using the exact boat, trailer and motor inventory records before the equipment is physically installed.
Start with the exact primary boat inventory record for the customer.
Choose the actual separately inventoried trailer that belongs in the package.
Choose up to two motors from the motor inventory using the correct serial numbers.
Bring the selected components into one coordinated transaction and customer contract.
Marine dealers have described older workflows where a showroom boat might already be physically rigged with a trailer and motors before the customer made the final equipment choices.
If the customer selected different motors or a different trailer, the dealership could then face the work of removing installed components, while sales paperwork might already contain serial numbers for equipment the customer no longer wanted.
With DealerDevice, the salesperson can build the package in the program using the actual inventory records and correct serial numbers first. The physical rigging can then follow the finalized transaction.
DealerDevice treats trailers and motors as separately inventoried units because they may need to be licensed, taxed, costed or reported differently from ordinary accessories.
The software can still combine those major components with the boat and the deal's accessory and repair-order items into one coordinated customer transaction.
DealerDevice Online also supports RV, equipment and specialty dealer transactions with sales desking, financing, leasing, contracts, forms, inventory, CRM and reporting. The same DealerDevice system can therefore support dealerships whose business extends beyond ordinary automobile sales.
