Turn fuels profit

Retail automotive’s first and only new and used car net profit operating system.

Inventory tools manage the lifecycle of a used car. FastTurn is the only solution that gives you the tools and the ability to do it profitably — every acquisition source, every ZIP code, every addition to gross and your real departmental expense, measured against the one number that matters.

Departmental expense in, additions to gross entered, exclusions set — so you know where the month lands.

Why it exists

You can turn inventory quickly and still lose money doing it.

Turn, days supply and price-to-market tell you how fast a car left. None of them tell you whether the department made money — or which source, ZIP code or price tier paid for itself.

  • Gross profit before carrying cost, advertising, and mini's feels like profit.
  • Street purchases and trade-ins flatten the used car numbers.
  • More acquisitions/inventory doesn't guarantee more net profit.
  • Most dealers focus on selling cars, not generating an ROI.

Inside FastTurn

Six areas, each built around a decision a leader has to make this week.

Is the month making money

Dashboard

One screen tells you whether this month is profitable — not just busy.

  • Ten headline numbers on one screen: units sold, average age, average cost, front-end PVR, F&I PVR, return on retail, annual turn, ROI, trade ratio and slow units.
  • A Sales Performance Score out of 100 with a letter grade, built from days to sale, inventory turn and ROI — a month read at a glance.
  • Enter your real used and new car departmental expense and see whether the month is tracking to a positive or negative net profit.
  • Enter every addition to gross — incentives, hard packs, doc fees, soft packs — and exclude ex-loaners and rentals so each department reads honestly.
  • Loss deal analysis, gross distribution, price tier and velocity analysis, sales by day of week, strong performers and slow movers.
  • What-if scenarios, sourcing priorities, a days supply and stocking guide, and written strategic recommendations.

The decision: Do we change how we buy, recon, price or turn before the month closes?

Trending, full screen

Every number that moves net profit, on one screen, the moment it moves.

Units, age, cost, front-end and F&I PVR, return on retail, turn, ROI, trade ratio and slow units — each with its prior-period delta and its own trend line. A soft spot shows up as a shape before it shows up in the month-end statement, so the used car department can correct the week it happens instead of explaining it thirty days later.

Hold, reprice or wholesale

Inventory

Every unit graded A to F with a recommended action and a confidence level.

  • Every unit tiered A to F with age, ledger cost, predicted selling day, front-end gross, F&I, total gross, ROI and a confidence level.
  • A recommended action on each line — hold, reprice or wholesale — and the ability to move units between stores in a group.
  • Department totals showing gross on the shelf and projected total gross, so exposure is visible before it becomes a loss.
  • The sweet spot for used car inventory, cost per sale, inventory segments, and franchise and model effectiveness.

ACQUIRE or PASS

Acquisition

Every open repair order scored against your own sales history.

  • Every open service repair order scored: acquisition cost range, predicted selling day, front-end gross, ROI, confidence, ideal stocking count and units on hand.
  • Your previous sales history reveals the expected gross and days to sell on the car in front of you, and flags units with no similar sales at all.
  • A clear ACQUIRE or PASS recommendation, built from your history rather than a market average.
  • Move the history window from 6 to 24 months and the prediction, ideal inventory, recommendation and turn rate update instantly.
  • One click adds a unit to one or more stores' shopping carts.
  • The appraisal flag shows which repair orders were appraised, so you can track service RO appraisal rate by advisor.

Wasting ad money becomes optional

Marketing

Which side of town pays you, by band, direction and ZIP code.

  • Customer range bands — core inner 50%, mid, outer and outside your market — each with radius, units, share and total front-end gross.
  • Sales and gross by direction from the store, so you can see which side of town actually pays.
  • Top ZIP codes ranked by unit volume, front-end gross or total gross, with distance and average gross per unit.
  • Enter every ZIP-targeted campaign and track accurately whether it made or lost money.

The decision: Where can we move our advertising spend to generate significantly higher ROI with reduced acquisition costs?

Marketing return

See exactly where your advertising money turns into net profit — and where it quietly disappears.

Every sale is placed against the market you actually draw from and graded on front-end gross versus the selection average, so the territory that pays is separated from the territory that costs. Alongside it, range bands show how far your customers really travel: the inner ring that delivers half your volume, the middle ring that quietly produces your strongest average gross, and the outer miles you are paying to reach for less. Together they answer where to move the next advertising dollar, where to widen the acquisition net, and where to stop spending altogether.

It's now optional to waste money on advertising.

With the recent and ongoing dramatic shifts, with more buyers relying on AI search rather than traditional search, social, and digital marketing, every dollar you no longer waste can elevate your AI search visibility.
