During a roundtable discussion at the Dealership Minds Summit moderated by Anne Salemo, president of Charter Software, dealer discussed how they are tracking their used equipment inventory. Implementing a real-time inventory tracking system at a dealership is an important business decision with several variables to consider. In order to evaluate whether a real-time tracking system will benefit your bottom line, dealers need to evaluate their losses and look at their internal inventory controls.  If your internal inventory controls are off and not being managed properly, implementing a real-time tracking system will have little hope for success, one dealer commented.
