Real‑time Sales & Fixed Ops Leaderboards for Marine, RV, Powersports, Trailer, Golf & OPE dealers
Overview
Digital Dealership System (DDS) has added Lightspeed DMS as a new integration partner for our PULSE KPI Leaderboards for Sales and Fixed Ops. With this connection, Lightspeed’s all‑in‑one platform—built to link Parts, Sales, Service and Finance—feeds live, system‑connected metrics straight into DDS leaderboards on staff‑facing TVs, desktops, and mobile devices. Your team sees the same source‑of‑truth data you see, in real time, on screens that motivate and keep everyone on pace with goals.
Lightspeed serves dealers in Marine, RV, Powersports, Trailer, Golf and Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE)—industries where tightly coordinating multi‑SKU sales, parts, and service is mission‑critical. That’s exactly what the Lightspeed DMS was designed to do.
What’s new—and why it matters
- Direct Lightspeed → DDS data flow. DDS PULSE leaderboards now consume Lightspeed’s DMS data so your Sales and Fixed Ops KPIs update continuously—no manual spreadsheet refreshes or end‑of‑day printouts. PULSE is DDS’s rebranded leaderboard suite for Sales, BDC, and Fixed Ops, purpose‑built to show staff their live rank and trajectory on TVs, desktop, and mobile.
- All‑department view on one screen. Lightspeed connects Parts, Sales, and Service, and Finance so employees “can see every transaction and make the best decisions based on real data.” DDS projects those metrics in real time to staff‑facing screens to drive accountability, friendly competition, and consistent goal‑tracking.
- Built for complex, multi‑SKU deals. Lightspeed’s industry pages highlight the need to coordinate boat/trailer/motor/accessory sales, manage inventory, and streamline service. DDS makes that activity visible as live KPIs—on the wall, in the tower, or on a manager’s phone.
- Scale to multi‑store groups. Lightspeed recently strengthened multi‑store features (combined financials, centralized inventory, shared customers). DDS complements that with enterprise views so group leaders can compare rooftops at a glance.
How the integration works
- Secure data access from your Lightspeed DMS flows into DDS PULSE. Reports refresh automatically (DDS leaderboard updates run on frequently automated pulls) so the board is always current during the day.
- Display anywhere staff work. DDS runs on a small Windows‑based media player connected to your TV(s). Because media is cached locally, your screens keep playing even if internet blips occur.
- No extra effort for your team. You choose the reports; DDS manages the content and the screens. Many dealers replace dry‑erase boards and manual Google Sheets updates that used to take hours each day.
- Mobile + alerts for on‑the‑go visibility. Beyond TVs, managers and reps can view trending and rankings on desktop/mobile; teams can receive deal‑done notifications and end‑of‑day recaps.
What your team will see on the boards
Sales (PULSE Sales Leaderboard)
- Units, gross, front/back, trends, goals, leader ranks, manager/finance production, and storewide performance—updated continuously and designed to replace manual boards.
Fixed Ops (PULSE Fixed Ops Leaderboard)
- Advisor & Tech KPIs: ROs, Hours, Efficiency, Effective Labor Rate (ELR), OP‑code saturation, CSI, revenue, goals—visible live on TVs, desktop and mobile. (DDS’s Fixed Ops page also references 15‑minute refresh cadence.) Digital Dealership System
Who is this integration for?
- Dealers running Lightspeed DMS in Marine, RV, Powersports, Trailer, Golf and OPE—especially those managing multi‑SKU sales, seasonal service spikes, and parts‑heavy workflows who want unified, at‑a‑glance KPI visibility.
- Automotive groups with recreation or specialty rooftops (e.g., a dealer group that operates both auto and powersports or marina stores) seeking one consistent, live leaderboard experience across all rooftops via DDS PULSE.
Why dealers should be excited
- Single source of truth across departments. Lightspeed was built to connect Parts, Sales, Service, and Finance; DDS turns that into live, motivational screens that keep teams aligned and on pace.
- Fewer manual reports—more coaching moments. Dealers routinely report saving hours per day when DDS replaces hand‑updated boards; managers get time back to coach and close.
- Real‑time motivation and retention. Live ranks and trend lines drive accountability and friendly competition across Sales, BDC, Advisors and Techs; mobile access keeps everyone engaged between meetings.
- Multi‑store clarity. Lightspeed’s multi‑store data + DDS enterprise views give leaders a roll‑up across rooftops without emailing spreadsheets.
What other similar integrations does DDS offer for Sales & Fixed Ops?
DDS was built for system‑connected reporting. In addition to Lightspeed, DDS supports a broad set of DMS and related platforms used by franchised dealers. Examples shown on our Fixed Ops Leaderboard page include: CDK Global, Tekion, Auto/Mate, Dealertrack, Quorum, PBS Systems, Advent, Dominion DMS, Autosoft, Reynolds & Reynolds, DealerBuilt, Dealervault—and now Lightspeed DMS.
For CRM/BDC and service scheduling data, DDS also integrates with leading systems used by dealers—for example VIN Solutions and DealerSocket on the BDC side, and Xtime for service appointment/status use cases—so your Sales and Fixed Ops boards reflect the daily reality your teams work in.
DDS has long emphasized deep connectivity across the stack—“integrated with every DMS and the top CRMs”—so dealers aren’t stuck re‑keying numbers or waiting for static reports.
Example use cases
- Service drive: An RO closes in Lightspeed; within minutes, the Advisor and Tech boards update ELR, hours, and CSI progress, visible on the shop TV and in the manager’s desktop dashboard.
- Sales tower: A deal is finalized; the Sales leaderboard bumps rank and goal‑to‑plan in real-time. Staff see it on TVs; managers get alerts and can address gaps before the day ends.
- Group view: Leadership compares rooftops using enterprise leaderboards while Lightspeed’s multi‑store features keep inventory and financials in sync.
