Dennis Cooper Cars Ltd

Client
Dennis Cooper Cars Ltd. The Leamington Spa Peugeot dealer.

Problem
Dennis Cooper Cars were finding it too time consuming to calculate the sales analysis figures that Peugeot head office required them to supply. Their difficulty was due to the lack of cost and sales accounting within their operation, so that they could not easily calculate the total cost of every car sold.

Solution
Tailor Made Software wrote a program which allows them to log all the separate costs incurred in the sales process. The program has the following key features:

  It is easy to enter the costs logged, either on a daily basis, or when the vehicle is sold.

 The program produces many analysis reports, which allow sales and profit figures to be calculated whenever needed.

The program allows the user to search through the database of vehicles in stock, or sold, and select just the required vehicles for reporting. This allows specialised reports to be set-up by the user.

  The program produces a variety of sales analysis graphs, which are used to help with informing and motivating the work force.

  The enhanced sales analysis improves ordering, as it helps Dennis Cooper Cars calculate the best mix of models to be stocked throughout the year.

  The timely management reports produced by the program allow strategic decisions to be made using accurate information.

Result
Dennis Cooper Cars now have up-to-date and accurate sales and profitability information, which allows them to run their business more efficiently than ever before. They were so satisfied with Tailor Made Software's service that they later commissioned us to write several other programs.

After installing these sophisticated computer systems, and improving their manual systems, they were so confident of their high level of competence and quality that they applied for BS5750 approval, which was attained without difficulty. They were the first Peugeot dealer in the country to win this award.
