    How to track active service agreements per customer

    A dealership with 600 active service contracts in Excel is a ticking MRR bomb. Here's exactly which data points per customer you need to see in 2 seconds, and how to build that visibility without importing everything manually.

    Short answer (TL;DR)

    To track service agreements per customer in a dealership, every customer card must show: active contracts, coverage, km status, next charge, billing history, renewal date and upsell flags. CARRUSLiNK ties contracts to customer and car cards automatically, so no customer 'disappears' in a separate Excel tab.

    Why Excel always breaks over time

    • Contracts in Excel, customers in DMS, charges in bank, renewals in mail, four places
    • When a customer calls, reception can't answer 'do I have a contract?' in under 30 seconds
    • Salesperson doesn't know a VIP customer has 2 active contracts and should be offered a third
    • Workshop sees no coverage when the customer stands at the counter
    • Renewal dates fall out of Excel when someone deletes a row
    • Nobody can answer 'how big is our contract MRR this month?' without Excel work

    Build the visibility in 7 steps

    1

    1. Consolidate on the customer card

    All contracts link to one customer card that also contains cars, deals, workshop history and communication. Search by name, plate, phone or company number, find in 2 seconds.

    2. Show active contracts on top

    When the card opens, reception sees immediately: 'X active contracts · next charge June 12 · renewal 03/2027'. No need to click through 4 tabs.

    3

    3. Per-contract status

    Every contract has status (active, cancelled, expired, renewed), coverage (engine, tyres, services), km status and remaining period. Reception can answer 'yes, tyre change is included' on the spot.

    4. Filter across all customers

    Filter: 'contracts expiring within 90 days', 'contracts with failed last charge', 'customers without contract but car < 5 years', 'top 100 MRR customers'. Useful for both sales and service.

    5. Auto alerts on critical events

    Contract expiring in 60 days → alert to salesperson. Charge failed twice → alert to reception. Upsell available → calendar alert at next service. Nothing needs to be remembered manually.

    6. Per salesperson and per model

    Sales manager sees MRR per rep, attach rate per model, churn rate per period. Concrete data for 1:1s with reps, not gut feel.

    7

    7. Audit log per change

    Every change (cancellation, renewal, price adjustment) logged with user and timestamp. GDPR-compliant and useful when a customer disputes.

    What the right visibility gives you

    Answers in 2 seconds

    Reception can always answer 'do I have a contract?', 'what's covered?', 'when is the next charge?'. Customer trust rises sharply.

    Targeted sales and service

    Filters for 'expiring soon', 'failed charge', 'high upsell potential' produce concrete call lists every morning.

    No customers disappear

    Auto alerts before expiry, on payment failure, on upsell opportunity. The pipeline is proactive, not reactive.

    Real-time MRR

    Sales manager and owner see MRR per salesperson, per model and per period, no Excel work.

    One source of truth per customer

    No more 4 systems with 4 different answers. One customer card = one truth. Also for auditors and lawyers.

    Live for the whole team

    Sales, reception, workshop, bookkeeping and owner see the same data. No 'I just sent out a new Excel'.
