When you’re running a dealership, time is money and wasting either isn’t an option. That’s where Lightspeed’s integrations come in. Whether you’re streamlining service, sales, parts, or accounting, our built-in tools help your team move faster, reduce errors, and focus on what matters most: growing your business. It’s time to adapt to some new processes and work smarter and not harder.
Here are 10 powerful ways Lightspeed integrations help your team do more with less effort:
1. No More Double Entry
Connect with industry tools like QuickBooks, Electronic Part Finders, and OEM systems so your data flows automatically. That means less typing, fewer mistakes, and more time back in your day.
2. Get Paid Quicker
Integrate your financing providers right into the F&I workflow. Generate contracts, submit applications, and close deals without jumping between systems. Your F&I manager will be buying you lunch!
3. Parts Lookups in Seconds
With integrated parts catalogs and vendors, your team can find pricing, availability, and order parts instantly—right from within Lightspeed. No more wasting time logging into multiple systems to look for information that can be found directly inside a PO or RO.
4. Real-Time Inventory Updates
Tie in your major OEM and distributor feeds and suppliers so inventory levels are always accurate. No more guessing or manual updates. See by warehouse if the part is available or even from other Lightspeed dealers.
5. Faster Tech Turnaround
Service integrations like labor guides, flat rate jobs, and tech time tracking ensure service bays stay productive and profitable. Or check out the Service Tech video product. A recent dealer said it has helped increase service revenue by 30% and speeds up the process of getting approval on service jobs.
6. Powerful CRM Integrations
Connect Lightspeed with marketing platforms or CRMs to trigger emails, track leads, and keep customer touchpoints consistent. Knowing where your customers are in the buying journey as well as automating communication will show instant increases in all departments.
7. Mobile Tools That Actually Work
From mobile check-in to real-time deal updates, our mobile-friendly integrations keep your team moving—on the floor, in the shop, or on the lot.
8. Online Sales Sync
Link your dealership’s website or online store to your Lightspeed inventory so shoppers see what’s in stock—and you’re not wasting time chasing ghosts. And there is no need to manage inventory to add or delete once sold across the website and 3rd party classified sites. Once it is sold in Lightspeed it will automatically delete.
9. Tighter Accounting Control
Whether you’re using Lightspeed’s built-in accounting or connecting to external software, every transaction gets tracked automatically. Goodbye, manual reconciliation.
10. Custom API Options
Have a unique workflow or third-party tool? Lightspeed’s open APIs allow for tailored integrations that fit your dealership’s exact needs. Lightspeed gives you the tools to access your dealer’s data regardless of other products you use. But most likely we are already working with them within our hundreds of partners.
Final Word
Speed matters—but so does accuracy. Lightspeed integrations are built to do both. By connecting the tools your team uses every day, you eliminate bottlenecks, reduce busy work, and unlock new levels of performance.
But bottom-line is you must embrace some change inside the dealership and know that Lightspeed is building new processes to make your jobs regardless of the department easier.
