Thursday. 6:42 PM.
A deal just delivered.
Follow it through the store. One finance manager types for about a minute — and everyone from the salesperson to the GM is looking at the same number before the customer is off the lot.
Mike delivers a used Tahoe. Sarah, the finance manager, wraps the paperwork — a service contract and GAP. The customer shakes hands and drives off the lot.
What happens
Nothing has been reported yet
This is the moment every dealership already has. The deal is real, the money is real, and right now it exists on a printed sheet and in one person’s head.
- Front gross
- $1,850
- Products sold
- VSC, GAP
- Anyone who knows
- Sarah
Sarah opens Log New Deal and enters it: customer, stock number, front gross, each product and its profit, the lender. It takes about a minute.
What happens
The finance manager
This is the one place a human types anything. Everything after this is derived from it — no second entry, no spreadsheet, no re-keying at month end.
- Time to log
- ~1 minute
- Back-end gross
- $2,340
- Entered twice?
- No
Mike’s phone is already updated. He didn’t ask anyone, and he didn’t wait for a printout taped to the tower.
What happens
The salesperson
His unit count, his gross, and what this deal pays him under his actual pay plan — not an estimate, the plan the store has configured for him.
- Units this month
- 9
- This deal pays
- Per his pay plan
- Board position
- 3rd
The sales manager is at dinner. The desk log on her phone moves without anyone calling her.
What happens
The sales manager
Team pace against the monthly goal, each salesperson’s units, and how the F&I side is tracking — the numbers she would otherwise assemble on Saturday morning.
- Store units MTD
- Updated
- Pace vs goal
- Live
- Calls required
- None
The same deal lands in the finance director’s view, where the number that matters is not the deal but the average.
What happens
The finance director
PVR, product penetration, and per-manager performance move with the deal. Product mix is visible while the month can still be changed — not after it closes.
- PVR
- Recalculated
- Product penetration
- Per product
- By manager
- Side by side
On the GM’s dashboard the deal is one unit — but it is also one unit closer to the next manufacturer tier.
What happens
The general manager
Store gross, units, and how many more of the right vehicles it takes to reach the next factory money tier. That is a selling instruction, not a report.
- Total gross MTD
- Live
- To next OEM tier
- Units remaining
- Across rooftops
- All stores
Month end arrives. Nobody rebuilds a spreadsheet, and nobody argues about whose number is right, because everyone has been looking at the same one for thirty days.
What happens
Everyone
The month-end number is the number the team already knew. Pay is calculated from the same deals the salespeople were watching all month.
- Reconciliation
- Already done
- Pay disputes
- Same source
- Surprises
- None
Step 1 of 7
It works alongside your DMS. It doesn't replace it.
Nothing here changes how you desk, book, or fund a deal. The DAS Board reports on the deals you already write.
The DAS Board does
- Show every role its own live numbers
- Calculate pay from your actual pay plans
- Track F&I product mix, PVR and penetration
- Follow goals, schedules and factory money
Your DMS still does
- Desk, book and fund the deal
- Hold the contracts and the customer record
- Run inventory, service and accounting
- Everything it does for you today
