A busy dealership diary can quickly become scattered across phones, notebooks, whiteboards and messages. A shared calendar keeps the important appointments visible to the team.

What should a dealer calendar manage?

Independent dealers need to track more than meetings. A practical dealer calendar should support test drives, callbacks, vehicle viewings, MOTs, preparation jobs, collections, deliveries, finance appointments and handovers.

Why linking events to vehicles helps

When a calendar event is connected to a stock vehicle, staff can immediately see which car the appointment relates to. That reduces confusion when multiple customers are asking about similar vehicles.

Better visibility for the whole team

A month, week, day and agenda view gives the dealership different ways to plan. Managers can see upcoming workload, sales staff can check appointments, and preparation teams can understand what needs to be ready.

How TraderWay handles calendar events

TraderWay includes a dealer calendar in the admin Tools area. Dealers can add events, choose event types, set reminders, add notes, link vehicles and use recurring events for regular tasks.

Plan availability

The dealer calendar is included from the Growth plan upwards because it supports marketing follow-up, appointments and day-to-day sales activity. Business also includes Activity Log for deeper operational visibility and audit history.
