Dealership vendor management becomes difficult when work orders, invoices, approvals, purchase orders, and vehicle status updates are spread across emails, spreadsheets, paper files, and disconnected systems.
SERV™ Automotive Software, developed by OnSite Dealer Solutions (ODS), gives dealerships a centralized vendor management platform designed specifically for automotive operations. Dealers can manage internal teams and third-party vendors from one system without replacing the vendor relationships they already trust.
From dent repair and windshield service to window tinting, wheel restoration, photography, and other reconditioning vendors, SERV™ helps dealerships create work orders, monitor progress, verify completion, and manage billing in one connected workflow.
Developed by OnSite Dealer Solutions in Mission, Kansas, within the Kansas City region, SERV™ supports dealership operations throughout the United States with customizable vendor, inventory, and workflow management technology.

One Portal for Every Vendor
Dealerships should not have to manage every vendor through a different process. SERV™ creates one centralized portal where dealership teams can assign work, monitor vendor activity, review open and completed work orders, and maintain consistent documentation.
Dealerships can continue working with the vendors they already know while bringing those relationships into a more organized and accountable system. This gives managers, recon teams, accounting departments, and vendors access to the information they need without relying on repeated calls, emails, or manual status meetings.
SERV™ Vendor Management helps dealerships:
• Manage vendors from one platform
• Create third-party work orders
• Track open and completed services
• Improve vendor communication
• Reduce duplicate work orders
• Maintain clearer operational records

Improve Billing and Accountability
Vendor management does not end when the work is complete. Dealership accounting teams still need accurate invoices, repair order references, VIN information, purchase orders, approvals, and clear documentation before payment can be processed.
SERV™ helps connect completed work, vendor invoices, repair orders, VINs, approvals, and payment status within one platform. This reduces reconciliation headaches and gives accounts payable teams a clearer view of outstanding and completed vendor activity.
SERV™ helps improve:
• Invoice accuracy
• Purchase order visibility
• Repair order documentation
• Duplicate invoice prevention
• Month-end reconciliation
• Vendor payment accountability
The platform also gives managers access to mobile and desktop visibility, making it easier to review vendor status, inventory progress, and billing information without waiting for manual updates.
