Description
GARAGEBIRDS provides cloud-based management software tailored for independent used-car dealerships and smaller lots. This platform consolidates all essential information for each vehicle—such as specifications, images, purchase and recon expenses, asking price, deals, and paperwork—into a single record that follows the vehicle from acquisition to final sale.
The free plan ($0, no credit card required, unlimited users) includes features like VIN decoding, inventory management, listings, cost tracking that calculates true profit per vehicle, cash desking with a detailed margin view for each deal, and built-in forms for title, registration, and bill of sale applicable in all 50 states, automatically populated from the deal details. In addition, buyer contacts are captured automatically for future reference.
The Pro plan, available for $49 per month when billed annually or $59 monthly, comes with a 14-day trial that requires no credit card. It enhances the software with finance desking capabilities, including amortization tables, Smart Print Forms for the dealer's contracts, leads, quotes, and contact history, as well as the Posting Assistant. This Chrome extension simplifies the listing process by autofilling car details for platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, eBay Motors, Cars.com, and AutoTrader, allowing dealers to review and publish each listing easily. Furthermore, the software’s comprehensive features enable dealers to streamline their operations and improve efficiency significantly.
Description
Standard accounting software packages struggle to match the capabilities of Motor Traders Assistant (MTA) when addressing the VAT Margin Scheme and the VAT stock book, which are crucial for all used vehicle dealerships. Tailored specifically for the automotive industry, MTA is an independent accounting solution created to simplify the financial management for motor traders. Founded in 1999, MTA Software Solutions is a family-owned business that has grown steadily over the years. The design of Motor Traders Assistant prioritizes user-friendliness, provides a clear pathway through accounting tasks, and helps prevent errors. With nearly two decades of experience, our small family enterprise is proud to support hundreds of users across the UK. Many of our clients have developed friendships with us, as we value delivering both personalized and efficient service. Technical support is expertly managed by Rod and Sam, who both hold degrees in computer science, while Claire oversees dealer account inquiries. Additionally, we offer guidance on taxation and legal issues, complemented by a team of part-time sales representatives to assist with customer needs. Our commitment to client satisfaction drives us to continually improve our services and foster lasting relationships within the motor trade community.
