Question 1

What does ShutBoard replace at a dealership?

Accepted Answer

ShutBoard replaces the composition book, the Excel pay plan spreadsheet, the morning meeting scramble for numbers, and the constant 'where am I at?' texts between salespeople and managers.

Question 2

How fast can a manager board deals in ShutBoard?

Accepted Answer

Quick-board mode uses 4 fields: stock number, salesperson, front gross, back gross. A manager can board 16 deals in under 10 minutes. Full details can be added the next morning.

Question 3

Does ShutBoard integrate with my DMS?

Accepted Answer

ShutBoard works without any DMS integration at launch. Stock number plus free VIN decode gets 90% of vehicle data automatically. DMS integration is planned for a future release.

Question 4

Can salespeople see each other's gross?

Accepted Answer

No. Role-based access is enforced at the database level. Salespeople see their own deal financials only. Managers see their team. GMs see everything. These defaults are customizable.
