Methods and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle dealership management and similar activities. Embodiments facilitate monitoring and tracking and managing one of more of the following types of data, preferably in virtually real-time, for purposes of test drives and other activities of the dealership (or for other activities involving a store's inventory, whether vehicles or otherwise): customers, vehicle inventory, sales personnel, financial and credit information related to the inventory and/or the customers, and other information. Embodiments of the invention assist in management of vehicle dealerships or other “dealer-financed” sales outlets, using computer and Internet tools and methods and apparatus to capture, track, coordinate, and use information regarding past and potential customers, inventory, salespeople and their efforts and interactions with specific customers, financing and/or insuring purchases by such customers, and other related items. |
