Pros: I have used several tools when it comes to inventory management, I was working for a large Dealer group that used Firstlook. I left and went to work for a Dealer that used a competitor, after two weeks I got the owner to make the move to Firstlook. I'm looking forward to all the new upgrades that are being launched next month. I have also been using their Max system to creat my Ads, it not only saves me so much time but they are very professional looking. If you look at the fluff on some of these vehicles, how many times can you mention this is the cleanest one you are going to see. They make the Ad relevant to what you want to feature on the Ad. The help desk is great and all the people are a pleasure to deal with.
Cons: I can't think of any Cons, I'm sure that there are things that it doesn't do that other programs do however I can tell you that I took a position in a Lexus store that the two previous months to me taking over sold 250 vehicles and i sold the same amount with the same GM, the same sales managers and the same GSM and I made $700,000 net profit on the exact same volume the following two months. A big difference was I use Firstlook to manage my inventory and the previous Pre-Owned manager didn't.
Pros: Easy to use, good reporting
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Great product fro appraising trades and purchases. Really like the printable check feature for buying from customers.
Cons: Do not agree with retail pricing part, but that is true with all of them. None of them agree with making good grosses.
Pros: easy to work with and always striving to be the best source of info
Cons: sometimes can mislead with true value on trim packages, but we think it's the best tool for us to use
Pros: We had nothing before so its a good change. Problem is you have to use it to work, cant just use it as an apraisal tool. Other issue is in the real world you have to make real decisions and sometimes any inventory tool can off.
Cons: Training and Support, we have been live 6 months, never seen anyone in the store. Only had 3 hours of training at first. Promised more but not delivered so far?
