Running a dealership means juggling moving parts—literally and figuratively. Service bays fill up, repair orders stack, parts requests roll in, and customers expect fast, accurate updates. Efficiency isn’t a bonus. It’s survival.
That’s why so many dealers turn to Lightspeed to simplify the operational chaos.
“I like Lightspeed because in the service department you can color code the repair orders to get a better idea of what’s in service, what’s going on, what it’s in for. It helps us keep track of our day to day operations a whole lot better.”
— Matt Miller, Reeder Trausch Marine
At many dealerships, the service department drives nearly half of total revenue. When repair orders get bottlenecked or mismanaged, profits can slip quickly. With intuitive color coding, built in tracking, and status visibility, Lightspeed turns what used to be a source of stress into a well-organized workflow.
Even on the parts side, the story is the same.
“We are proud users of Lightspeed DMS and it seems to solve our problems daily.”
— Chris Peterson, Young Powersports
Daily problem-solving is exactly what core operational tools should do—and exactly what Lightspeed is built for.
Lightspeed employees echo this mission:
“I love Lightspeed because we provide best in class service to help dealers run their business more efficiently.”
— Larry Young, Lightspeed Sales Executive
Efficiency isn’t about working harder. It’s about working smarter—with a system built around the realities of dealership life. At Lightspeed, efficiency is engineered into every screen, report, and click.
