Lightspeed Multi-Store
Scale Without the Stress
Managing multiple locations shouldn’t result in a huge strain on your workload. Whether your stores are across town or across the country, Lightspeed provides a unified platform to help streamline your operations, consolidate your multi-location finances, and provide a seamless experience for your customers.
Unified Inventory: See it, Quote it, Move it
Never lose a sale because a unit isn’t actually on your lot. With Major Unit Visibility, your sales team has real-time access to the entire enterprise’s inventory.
- Instant Inquiry: Search all sister stores for specific years, makes, or models.
- Generate Quotes Anywhere: Start a deal or collect a deposit on a unit located at another branch before the transfer even begins.
- Digital Transfers: Move inventory between stores digitally with built-in request and approval workflows that keep your books balanced automatically.
New: Multi-Store Premium Features
We’ve added powerful fuel to the productivity fire with our latest premium enhancements designed for high-volume dealerships.
Cross-Location Lead Management
Perfect for dealerships with a Business Development Center (BDC), this tool helps ensure no lead falls through the cracks.
- All-Store List View: See every lead, quote, and deal across the entire organization in one screen.
- Automated Transfer: Reassign leads to the proper store or salesperson with a single click, including all history and notes.
Streamlined Parts & Inventory Transfer
Stop treating your sister stores like outside vendors. Our new Parts Transfer feature replaces manual workarounds with a dedicated workflow.
- Simplified Accounting: Handles the internal “buy/sell” logic behind the scenes.
- PO Integration: Transfers are attached to Purchase Orders, making receiving at the new location fast and accurate.
Standard Job Sharing
Maintain consistency in your service bays. If you’ve spent hours building the perfect Standard Job template for a specific repair at Store A, you can now Copy to Stores instantly. Ensure every location uses the same parts list and labor hours for every common repair.
Shared Financials: The Controller’s Command Center
Our shared accounting architecture gives you a one-stop view of your business’s health.
- Consolidated P&L: Run a single Profit and Loss statement for the entire enterprise or toggle between locations to see which profit centers are leading the way.
- Centralized Accounts Payable: Pay all your bills from one screen, regardless of which store generated the invoice.
- Universal Customer List: A customer who charges parts at Store A can pay their balance at Store B.
- Shared AR and Click-to-Pay links make it easier for your customers to stay current.
