A second dealership branch is a growth moment, but it also exposes weak systems. Stock location, branch contact details, feeds, enquiries and internal handovers all need more structure.
Website checks before launch
- Add the new branch address and phone number.
- Check opening hours and appointment notes.
- Make sure vehicle pages show useful location context.
- Review sitemap and internal links.
- Update contact and finance pages where needed.
DMS checks before launch
- Create the branch as a site.
- Assign existing stock correctly.
- Check feed settings.
- Train staff on site selection.
- Review enquiry routing.
Do not rely on memory
When there are two branches, verbal updates and spreadsheets become fragile. The system should hold the truth about stock location.
