Each metric tells a story about your dealership's efficiency. Here's what to watch.
How many times your inventory turns over per month. A healthy rate is 1.5–2.5x. Below 1.0 means you're buying faster than selling.
inventory ÷ monthly salesThe average time a car sits before selling. The 45-day mark is critical—after this, depreciation and interest costs accelerate.
30 ÷ turn rateEvery day a car sits, it costs you. This shows how much overhead each sold car must carry just to break even on time.
monthly holding ÷ cars soldWhat percentage of your gross profit is eaten by holding costs. Over 25% is a red flag that your process needs fixing.
holding cost ÷ gross profit × 100The gap between your current listing time and Autowalk's same-day delivery. Every day saved is a day closer to sale.
