Industries
Automotive
For motor vehicle dealers, mechanics, panel beaters and spray painters, and auto electricians.
Automotive businesses share measures no other industry has. Workshop efficiency, parts and labour margins, floorplan finance and the time insurers take to pay all decide whether a profitable month turns into cash.
What we track
- Workshop efficiency and labour recovery
- Parts and labour margin
- Floorplan finance costs
- Insurer payment times
- Debtor days
Common cash problems
- Insurers paying in 60 days or more
- Stock and floorplan interest rising faster than sales
- Parts suppliers wanting payment in 30 days
Case study
A smash repair business cut debtor days from 61 to 39 and cleared its overdraft.
