Vehicles often move between sites. A car might go from storage to prep, then to the showroom for a viewing. If the system is not updated, staff lose confidence in the stock list.
Why transfers matter
Incorrect location data causes wasted time. Sales staff may promise a viewing before checking whether the vehicle is actually at that branch.
What to update when a vehicle moves
- Site assignment.
- Status if preparation changes.
- Internal notes.
- Viewing appointment details.
- Public location if shown to buyers.
Keep the website honest
If public location filtering is enabled, site changes should be managed carefully. Buyers should never be misled about where a vehicle can be viewed.
