The problem

Your DMS tracks activity. It doesn't show you what the activity is costing.

A $350 F&I PVR gap or a 10-point absorption shortfall looks small on one report — annualized, it's real money most dealers don't see until the statement arrives.

The real cost is how long the gap stays unquantified and unassigned.
