N-DOTS: The Nickelsen Dealership Operations Toolkit

Dealers already have lots of computer systems.  Some are like piggybanks – they are a place to put information in, but good luck getting it back out.  Others are like stock tables – lots of numbers that tell you what happened, without being much use in figuring out why those things happened or what to do differently today.  And many are like a private plane – incredibly capable, but only after you dedicate years of your life understanding how to fly it well.In contrast, N-DOTS is designed to do one thing well:  help dealers and their people manage the business day-to-day.
