Features

Everything a dealer needs.
Nothing they don't.

Built specifically for independent used car dealers in the UK. Every feature earns its place.

Stock Management

Every car. Every detail. One place.

Add a vehicle in under 60 seconds. Track purchase price, prep costs, photos, documents, MOT dates and asking price — all linked. No spreadsheet juggling.

Prep Cost Ledger

Know exactly what every car cost you.

Log every mechanic, bodywork job, MOT, and valet against the car. Link expenses to your contacts. See real profit before you sell — not after.

VAT Margin Invoices

HMRC-compliant invoices. Instant.

Record a sale and get a VAT Margin Scheme compliant invoice generated and emailed to the buyer automatically. The stock book writes itself.

Profit Reporting

See what's actually working.

Profit per car, per month, per category. Average margin. Stock aging. Capital tied up. The numbers that tell you where to focus.

Alerts & Reminders

Never miss an MOT or aged car.

Automatic alerts for MOT expiry, cars sitting too long, and warranty deadlines. Stay on top without checking a calendar.

Team Access

Your staff, with the right permissions.

Add up to 5 team members free. Set exactly what each person can see and do. Owner stays in control.

★★★★★

I used to spend every Sunday doing the stock book on a spreadsheet. Now it takes me ten minutes on Friday.

Tariq M.
Independent dealer, 35 cars, Birmingham
★★★★★

First time I've actually known my profit per car before selling. Changed how I price everything.

Dave H.
Used car trader, 20 cars, Solihull
★★★★★

The VAT margin invoice alone is worth it. No more messing around with templates.
