Products / Dealership Lab
Your business knowledge. Room to experiment.
Our answer to dealer 20 groups puts scenario exploration and operational review in your hands. The full Lab uses Chrono and is included for everyone.
The everyday challenge
Make your assumptions visible before committing to the change.
Every operating decision comes with assumptions. A staffing change, a different advertising budget, or a new follow-up process can affect several parts of the store at once.
Take the controls
See the work. See the impact.
Fictional dealership data. Explore working reports and connected workflows in this website simulation; it is not the live NXTdeal interface.
Test the decision before changing your store.
Compare your operating assumptions with a baseline. See which constraint matters, model the financial effect, and save a scenario for comparison.

Operational audit · where to look
01
Follow-up creates more showroom opportunity
105 appointments from 300 leads. 195 do not become appointments in this scenario.
02
Check capacity before increasing volume
74 showroom visits become 22 sales. Test staffing and capacity before treating that volume as achievable.
Show the math
300 leads × 35% = 105 appointments.
105 × 70% = 74 visits; × 30% = 22 sales.
22 × $2,400 assumed gross per sale − $1,500 added cost = $51,300.
Counts rounded at each step. Baseline uses the same lead volume, 25% appointment, 65% show and 25% close rates. This local model illustrates the Lab approach; it does not run Chrono or represent peer benchmarks or forecasts.
