The Digital Sales Board

Board It. See It.
Get Paid.

16 deals boarded in under 10 minutes. Commission calculated to the dollar the second a deal hits the board. The desk's numbers, independent from accounting. Your entire sales department on one screen.

Replaces the composition book, the Excel pay plan, and the "where are we at?" text thread. Works alongside your DMS, not instead of it.

Built by people who've run a desk. Not a tech company guessing.

FAQ

Real Questions From Real Dealers

What does ShutBoard actually replace?+
The composition book (or the photo of it you scan and email). The Excel pay plan every manager maintains by hand. The morning meeting number scramble. The 8pm 'where am I at?' text from your salespeople. It gives the sales desk its own digital ledger so you always have your numbers to check against accounting.
How fast can I board a deal?+
Quick-board mode: stock number, salesperson, front gross, back gross. Four fields. The deal is on the board and commissions start calculating. Full details can be added later.
Does this replace my DMS?+
No, and it's not supposed to. ShutBoard is the desk's independent record. Your DMS is accounting's version of the deal. ShutBoard is the sales floor's version. When the numbers match, everything's clean. When they don't, you found the discrepancy before it hit payroll. That's the whole point.
Can salespeople see each other's gross numbers?+
Not by default. Role-based access is enforced at the database level, not just the screen. Salespeople see their own deal financials only. Managers see their team. GMs see everything. All customizable.
What pay plan structures does it support?+
Draw + gross percentage, salary + volume bonus, flat per unit, tiered volume + gross percentage, and F&I PVR-based. Five templates that cover about 80% of dealer structures. Full custom builder is coming.
Is my data secure?+
Every query is scoped to your dealership. Tenant isolation at the database level. No dealership can see another dealership's data. Commission and gross data encrypted at rest. Full audit log on every sensitive change.
Do I need to install anything?+
No. ShutBoard runs in the browser. Phone, tablet, desktop. Responsive down to 375px. Your managers can board deals from the lot.

Ready?

Stop Guessing.
Start Knowing.

The composition book was fine in 2005. Your desk deserves its own numbers. Your salespeople deserve to see their check. Your GMs deserve two sets of eyes on every deal.
