New collaboration simplifies unit identification and improves data accuracy for marine dealers using Lightspeed DMS
Salt Lake City, UT (June 24, 2025) – Lightspeed, the leading dealer management solution for marine, powersports, RV, and OPE dealerships, is pleased to announce a new integration with Avalon & Tahoe MFG, Inc. that brings automated HIN (Hull Identification Number) decoding directly into Lightspeed DMS.
This collaboration is designed to simplify unit entry and eliminate manual errors by automatically pulling detailed unit information directly from the HIN—saving marine dealers time and improving inventory accuracy from the start.
A Smarter Way to Manage Marine Inventory
With this new integration, Lightspeed users can:
- Automatically decode Avalon & Tahoe HINs to populate unit details
- Eliminate manual data entry and reduce costly errors
- Ensure consistent and accurate inventory records across the dealership
All directly within Lightspeed’s intuitive unit management workflows.
“Marine dealers are busier than ever, and automation is critical to staying efficient,” said Rob Grant, Associate Director, OEM Business Development. “By partnering with Avalon & Tahoe pontoons, we’re removing friction from the sales and service process and helping dealers focus more on the customer experience and less on paperwork.”
