  • Purchase and sale values remain attached to the individual stock vehicle.
  • Costs and VAT calculations update the live profit position as records are added.
  • Workflow can flag missing purchase prices before incomplete records distort the figures.

Never lose track of hidden preparation costs.

MOTs, tyres, valeting, PDR, advertising fees, fuel, commissions, warranties and servicing are recorded against the correct vehicle rather than being lost elsewhere.

  • Frequently used default costs can be selected and adjusted for the vehicle.
  • New one-off costs can be added at any stage of the invoicing journey.
  • Supplier, VAT, date, value, supporting file and notes can be retained together.

Set every invoice up around your dealership.

Control how invoices look and what information they contain before your team starts raising documents.

  • Choose the site logo, footer logo, a custom logo or text-only presentation.
  • Set invoice background, footer text, company name, address and displayed contact details.
  • Use default wording or create custom purchase, reservation and sales invoice titles.
  • Add default or custom invoice disclaimers to the documents your dealership produces.
  • Choose whether VAT appears in the title and adjust invoice font size and colour.
DMS-5 can also raise independent invoices for other items outside a specific vehicle sale, giving the dealership a broader general invoicing facility when required.
