Sales system for car dealers
A sales system is more than a Kanban board. For a car dealership, it needs to cover the entire journey from first lead to delivered car — with trade-in, financing, MitID signing, and handover built in. Here is what the system must be able to do.

Kort svar (TL;DR)
A sales system for car dealers must cover 7 steps: lead capture, qualification, test drive, quote + financing, MitID signing, preparation, and delivery. The pipeline is visualised per sales rep, and the manager sees forecasts in real time. CARRUSLiNK delivers this end-to-end on top of your DMS.
De typiske udfordringer
- The sales process is in the sales rep's head, not in a system
- The manager doesn't know if there are 30 or 60 cars in the pipeline
- Forecasting is gut feeling, not data
- Trade-ins, financing, signing, and delivery are handled in 4 different tools
- The sales rep forgets where a customer is in the process
- Handover to the workshop and delivery runs on sticky notes
Konkret playbook
1. Lead capture across all channels
Bilbasen, DBA, website, phone, SMS, email, Facebook → one customer profile with source, car, and assigned sales rep.
2. Qualification with lead scoring
Behaviour-based scoring: opened quote, viewed car 3 times, trade-in created, financing downloaded. The hottest leads at the top of the daily list.
3. Test drive — 24/7 booking + day-before SMS
Self-service booking directly from the vehicle ad. Auto-assignment of sales rep and demo car. Day-before SMS reduces no-shows by 60%.
4. Quote + financing + trade-in
Quotes generated with 1 click. Includes monthly payment, financing example, and trade-in valuation via DMR lookup.
5. MitID signing on the spot
Sales agreement signed digitally with MitID. Legally solid: zero confusion about what was agreed.
6. Preparation + handover to the workshop
A signed agreement automatically triggers the vehicle preparation workflow: wash, inspection, documents. The workshop gets notified, not a post-it note.
7. Handover with checklist + photo documentation
The salesperson goes through the handover checklist on an iPad: keys, service book, wheels, photos. The customer signs with MitID. The entire journey is logged.
