Precision Inventory Management: product details
Precision Inventory Management says it has ordered new vehicles for Ford and Lincoln stores since 2007 and works only with Ford dealers. Its about page says data analysts use Fast Turn and VIN data and dealer-specific feedback to set the mix of units, colors and options, and claims many stores end up with slow sellers because they do not know how to work the system.
It names Ford pushing AFOs, engine constraints and package discounts as conditions it has seen. A dealer should ask how fees are charged, who approves each order and how store-level data is protected.
The home page adds that it helps stores schedule retails quickly, take the right allocation in wholesale and acquire the best vehicles on dealer trade, working from Ford's own systems.
