What our digital solutions and software for used car dealers include
Our used car dealership management software solutions help you offer a high-quality service focused on satisfying the needs of your customers. Our IT solutions for car dealers include the following digital tools and software:
TAM – Central order management for the used car process
Our vehicle order management system tool TAM (TÜV SÜD Order Management) supports you in the coordination and management of your decentralised orders. Via the TAM online platform, we control your order management nationwide on your behalf.
Our in-house scheduling department monitors all your order processing in real time. A traffic light-based alert system ensures that we stay up-to-date and process your orders on time. This provides your business with the highest level of transparency and reliability.
TIM – Standardised used vehicle appraisals
TIM (TÜV SÜD in Motion) was developed to make our assessments even more accurate and faster. It provides you with increased transparency, efficiency, and high-quality vehicle appraisals.
TIM is a portable end device that supports our vehicle manager throughout the used car process in your business. Our experts use a tablet to work through the vehicle’s reduced value appraisal checklist. The results are transmitted directly to a responsible person. This includes the appraisal, valuation, and testing of your used vehicles at the leasing return. All the work steps taken by our vehicle manager are recorded by TIM. This gives you a detailed overview of services rendered.
CarManager ONE – Used car software for electronic vehicle dossiers
CarManager ONE is a web-based used car dealership management software that supports your sales process management, shortening waiting times to increase your revenue.
CarManager ONE provides you with a universal electronic vehicle dossier on your PC or your tablet. You can generate a digital dossier for every vehicle that passes into your inventory. From that point on you will have an overview of all activities, from initial assessment to delivery. If you also use TIM, appraisal data can be transferred to CarManager ONE in a matter of seconds via an interface. This allows you to have all the important information in one place.
All processes are actively controlled by CarManager ONE and directly assigned to the relevant employees. After completing a job, the system automatically triggers the next one and assigns it to the responsible employee. A transparent monitoring process provides you with real-time information on stock processing status (activities, costs and times).
Each vehicle can be assigned a QR code so employees can quickly call-up the processing status and complete their finished job. A vehicle’s location can also be tagged in CarManager ONE.
