The end of the year often brings a season of slower RV sales, opening the perfect opportunity for dealerships to complete important inventory management requirements. Here are a few essential steps and how a dealer management system (DMS) can ease the process:
1. Complete a Full Physical Inventory Count
Inventory counts ensure your records are accurate and your dealership is ready for the beginning of the new year. With a comprehensive DMS, you can run numerous count types, including a full inventory count. Additionally, the platform will keep all your information in one place, providing easy access whenever you need it.
2. Evaluate Your Lot Logistics
Your lot logistics can make or break your dealership’s operational efficiency. The layout should be easy for your staff and customers to navigate. Designate clear sections for each unit type and leave plenty of room to walk the lot and view your vehicles. Using a robust DMS, you can integrate seamlessly with an inventory management system and designate specific parameters across your lot. These digital tools will help you maintain organization, maximize efficiency, and ensure your employees can be as productive as possible.
Proactively completing inventory management steps during the final months of the year will allow your business to operate more efficiently moving forward. Take advantage of the quieter period and leverage an advanced DMS to ease outstanding end-of-year inventory tasks.
