A newly developed data-driven management reporting application that is designed to provide dealers with usable information to boost operational profits and efficiencies is now available.

Manage by the Numbers (MBTN) Solutions announced Wednesday the release of its “Game Plan” app for dealers, which was created to help dealers succeed in key three areas that the company said most directly influences operational profits and efficiencies.

“I’ve worked in almost every position inside a dealership and know, first-hand, the pain points as well as the most effective areas to focus on,” MBTN Solutions chief executive officer Pedram Faed said in a news release. “Dealers need less reports and more action-led information.

“We used our 15 years of retail automotive experience to eliminate the analysis aspect of reporting and transform all of this data into powerful action-driven information giving dealers and their management teams a clear game plan,” said Faed.

The three key areas for operational efficiency that dealers can take advantage of include:

• Balancing new-vehicle inventory
• Generating precise sales forecasting
• Managing human resource onboarding and training processes

“I thought their solution would only be beneficial for bigger stores, but we saw a 350-percent increase with a model line we were struggling with by having it in our forecast and seeing the progress every day,” said Jon Young, general sales manager at Windward Ford of Kailua, Hawaii.

With Game Plan’s forecasting and tracking component, dealers can develop robust model line forecasts, measure their performance in near real-time, notify sales team members with simple text notifications and guide them to their goals, according to MBTN.

“Managing two stores with seven brands has been a challenge using the DMS reports. I can now see all seven brand’s inventory levels with one click and building a forecast for the brands is so easy,” said Amer Muhar, general manager at Madera CDJR, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac of Madera, Calif.

Meanwhile, MBTN Solutions also said that the new suite of management reporting tools provides onboarding and training capabilities that can help dealers both grow their sales team and reduce turnover. According to the company, the tools allow dealerships to review the performance and training progress of all sales consultants.
