🏍️ We hit full throttle this September—and loved every minute of the ride!
From rolling out product innovations to listening directly to dealers about their everyday challenges, September was packed with opportunities to learn, grow, and connect. Lightspeed has been on the move—supporting partners, hosting training sessions, and shaping the future of dealership technology
September on the Road
From boats to trailers to Powersports to RVs, we’ve been living life in the fast lane—Lightspeed style. Here’s a snapshot of where the road took us this month:
📍 NVP Parts Unlimited – Milwaukee, WI
📍 Highfield Boats – Cadillac, MI
📍 NATM Trailer Expo – Oklahoma City, OK
📍 Malibu Dealer Meeting – Horseshoe Bay, TX
📍 NPDA Dealer Connect – Columbus, OH
📍 RV Open House – Elkhart, IN
Each event gave us the chance to strengthen partnerships, support dealer education, and introduce more people to how Lightspeed is powering the future of dealership management.
Listening to Dealers, Shaping the Future
At every stop, we engaged with dealerships to better understand the day-to-day challenges they face. Common themes included:
- Inventory visibility – knowing what’s in stock and where it’s located
- Managing Multiple Stores – Lightspeed just released some exciting new Multi-Store functionality designed to help dealer groups streamline operations across multiple rooftops.
- Service efficiency – reducing bottlenecks and improving repair event cycle time
- Customer engagement – meeting buyers where they are, from text to e-commerce
- Profitability pressures – finding ways to cut wasted time and increase margins
These conversations are invaluable. They not only affirm the need for Lightspeed’s dealer-first approach but also give us a roadmap to continue innovating in ways that matter most to the people running dealerships.
What’s Next
September was only the beginning. With a packed calendar of shows and dealer events ahead, our team is ready to keep the momentum going. From new training opportunities to more product enhancements, we’re focused on helping you simplify operations, unlock efficiencies, and build lasting profitability.
Stay tuned—big things are on the horizon.
