J.D. Power PIN: product details
The Power Information Network, known as PIN, collects retail transaction data from more than 16,000 participating franchises, covering about 42 percent of U.S. and 25 percent of Canadian retail sales. Each of roughly twelve million new and used transactions a year carries more than 250 data points, including vehicle details, buyer information, amount financed, APR, price and the dealer's cost and gross.
The data comes from participating dealers.
The data reaches dealers through PIN+ and PowerDealer, which turns a store's own numbers into benchmarking, inventory insight and profit analytics for its local market. A dealer should ask which metrics are compared to which peers, how often data refreshes and what participation requires from the store's DMS.
