Vehicle Stock Management

Vehicle stock management is the process of tracking, pricing, and advertising the vehicles a dealership has for sale, usually within a DMS.

Vehicle stock management covers everything from logging a vehicle when it arrives on the forecourt, to pricing it competitively, advertising it on portals like AutoTrader, and tracking how long it has been in stock.

Why stock ageing matters

The longer a vehicle sits unsold, the more it costs the dealer in lost opportunity and depreciation. Tools like Torque DMS's Periscope specifically track stock ageing and market pricing to flag vehicles that need a price adjustment before they become a problem.
