Overview

Your inventory is your most valuable asset, and your biggest risk. Solera’s Inventory Management solutions help dealerships take complete control of their stock, turning static units into strategic profit centers. From acquisition and appraisal to pricing, merchandising, and turn tracking, our tools are built to optimize every step of the inventory lifecycle.

At the core is Inventory+, Solera’s industry-leading platform that gives dealers real-time data to source smarter, appraise accurately, and price to move. Whether you’re buying at auction, evaluating trades, or planning group-wide inventory distribution, you get deep market insights and profitability forecasting to guide every decision.

The system dynamically tracks days-to-turn, aging units, profit margins, and pricing performance, so your team can take fast, informed action to minimize loss and improve ROI. Integrated appraisal tools ensure consistency across rooftops, while merchandising features automate photo uploads, descriptions, and VIN decoding across digital retail channels.

Inventory Management doesn’t stop at used cars. With integrations to DMS and OEM feeds, franchise dealers can manage new vehicle inventory with equal precision, adjusting pricing based on incentive changes, sales velocity, and regional demand.

Whether you operate a single lot or a national network, Solera helps you source smarter, price faster, and sell with confidence, powered by data, not guesswork.
