Reason #1: Lightspeed Automations – Save Time, Reduce Errors, and Let the System Do the Work 


Running a dealership is demanding—your systems should be working for you, not the other way around. 

If your team is still manually updating inventory with pen and paper, chasing down customer signatures, or struggling to follow up with leads—you’re losing precious time (and revenue) every day. Lightspeed automations help you take back that time by putting repetitive tasks on autopilot and giving your team modern tools that work where and how they work best. 

🚀 Automations That Move Your Dealership Forward 

1. Lightspeed Mobile App 
Turn your phone or tablet into a dealership command center. Whether you’re scanning units on the lot, checking service appointments, or managing parts inventory, the Lightspeed Mobile App keeps you productive without being tethered to a desk. Inventory counts become faster and more accurate, with updates syncing directly into your DMS—no double entry or errors. 

2. eSignature 
Ditch the printouts and piles of paperwork. With Lightspeed’s eSignature integration, customers can securely sign repair orders, purchase agreements, or rental contracts right from their phone or tablet—wherever they are. That means less time chasing signatures and faster turnaround on approvals. 

3. TextMarketing + Texting Tools 
Automated text campaigns let you reach customers where they’re most responsive. Whether you’re sending a seasonal promotion, a service reminder, or a follow-up after a sale, Lightspeed TextMarketing allows you to schedule and personalize your outreach in advance. With integrated texting in your DMS, you can also message customers directly about estimates, service updates, or pickup times—without jumping between tools. 

4. Follow-Up Chains in CRM 
Don’t let leads go cold. Lightspeed’s Follow-Up Chains help your sales team stay on track with automated reminders and customizable touchpoints. Whether it’s Day 1 after a new inquiry or Day 21 after a test ride, the system guides your staff through consistent, timely outreach—so no opportunity slips through the cracks. 

5. Tech Video 
Lightspeed Tech Video makes it easy for service technicians to record short videos during inspections or repairs, giving customers a visual explanation of what’s needed and why. These videos can be automatically sent via text or email, helping customers approve work faster and boosting service revenue—all while building trust.
