Every vehicle entering your dealership begins a series of operational steps that include inspections, work orders, reconditioning, vendor services, detailing, photography, and final delivery. Manually entering VIN information at every stage slows operations and increases the risk of costly data entry errors.
SERV™ Automotive Software, developed by OnSite Dealer Solutions (ODS), includes VIN Scan Technology that instantly captures vehicle information and initiates dealership workflows from a single scan. Instead of manually typing VIN numbers into multiple systems, dealership teams can begin work immediately while improving accuracy throughout the recon process.
Whether a vehicle is a trade-in, auction purchase, lease return, or customer vehicle, SERV™ helps dealerships streamline intake while supporting faster inventory movement and more efficient operational workflows.
Developed by OnSite Dealer Solutions in Mission, Kansas, within the Kansas City region, SERV™ supports dealerships nationwide with dealership software built specifically for inventory management and operational efficiency.
