Dealernics

The whole dealership, on one screen.

Metafic designed and built Dealernics, an all-in-one operating system for automobile dealers. Inventory and warehouses, customers and CRM, quotations, desking, invoicing and financing, suppliers and logistics, inspections and service — unified on one platform, with an AI agent wired across every part of it that can answer, report and act on your behalf.

The Challenge

A dealership runs on six systems that never talk.

A modern store juggles a DMS, a CRM, a desking tool, an F&I portal, an inventory feed and a pile of spreadsheets — none of which share a single source of truth. A car can be sold on one screen, still "in stock" on another, and stuck in inspection on a third.

Dealernics replaces that stack with one operating system for the whole dealership — and puts an AI agent on top that reads the same live data the team does. Metafic designed and engineered it end-to-end, so every VIN, customer, quote, approval and inspection lives in one place, in real time.

What We Built

Every department of the dealership, in one product.

Inventory that knows its own age

VIN-level inventory across every warehouse and lot, with live status — in stock, reserved, in transit, sold — days-on-lot aging buckets, turnover against industry benchmarks, CSV import and one-click aging reports.

A CRM for the showroom floor

Customers, leads and quotations flow into a single deal pipeline. Every salesperson, every deal status and every front-gross number is visible in real time, so the desk always knows what's closing today and what's about to stall.

Quotations with guardrails built in

Every quote is scored against a floor-margin guardrail and its discount-vs-floor in real time, then routed through a multi-step approval flow — draft, sent, pending, converted, expired — so no sales-floor discount slips below the line unseen.

Invoicing, financing & payments

Turn a signed deal into an invoice without re-keying, track lender approvals and F&I, and record supplier payments against balances due. The money side of every deal — paid, partial, due — reconciled in one place.

Procurement with landed costs done right

Purchase orders carry FOB pricing plus shipping, customs duty and handling — allocated across vehicles and three-way matched against the supplier invoice and bill of lading, so the true landed cost of every car is never a guess.

Inspections, graded and on the record

Service and inspection management with pass/fail and A–F letter grades on every VIN, inspectors assigned, pass-rate and average-grade tracked, and turnaround measured — so reconditioning never holds up a sale silently.

The AI Agent

One question away from running the store.

Dealernics AI is trained on your store's last 90 days of live data. Ask it anything across inventory, sales, approvals and customers and it answers in plain language — with the chart already drawn, the aging units already flagged, and the report one click from export.

  • Analytics “How is the dealership doing this month?”
  • Inventory “Which vehicles are aging on the lot?”
  • Sales “Who are my top salespeople this month?”
  • Approvals “Which quotations are awaiting my approval?”

Answers stay grounded in the source page, with a reminder to verify critical numbers — an AI that assists the desk, never overrides it.
