What LotHQ audits

THE USED VEHICLE OPERATION.
UNDER A MANAGEMENT LENS.

LotHQ works from existing dealership systems, dealer-provided inventory data and public-facing inventory/listing data. The goal is clearer management action, not another software replacement.

01

Used Inventory Performance Audit

What we look at

Inventory health, vehicle exceptions, retail readiness and department context.

What we identify

Where management attention is required first.

What management receives

A prioritized audit with specific decisions to make.

02

Aging & Capital Exposure

What we look at

Age, investment, days supply, stalled units and money tied up in 60+ day inventory.

What we identify

Where capital is trapped and what should be kept, fixed, monitored or reviewed for exit.

What management receives

Decision categories, priority units and a capital-exposure agenda.

03

Pricing & Market Position

What we look at

Age, market context, vehicle investment, presentation and available performance signals.

What we identify

Whether a unit is priced to market, should be monitored, repositioned or fixed before price action.

What management receives

Deliberate price priorities, not blanket reductions.

04

Reconditioning Performance

What we look at

Reconditioning investment, approvals, delays, time-to-front-line and units aging before retail-ready.

What we identify

Cost outliers and the actual process block holding a unit back.

What management receives

Escalations, owners and front-line commitments.

05

Merchandising & Cosmetic Presentation

What we look at

Live-listing coverage, image quality, description usefulness, price visibility, retail presentation and potential cosmetic concerns.

What we identify

Retail-readiness gaps, including observable presentation concerns that may warrant physical inspection.

What management receives

Coverage, quality, merchandising and cosmetic-presentation actions within the broader review.

06

Acquisition & Inventory Mix

What we look at

Current supply, turn, reconditioning and gross context when available, segment performance and inventory concentration.

What we identify

What to buy more, buy selectively, hold or avoid.

What management receives

An acquisition focus tied to the dealership’s own operation.

07

Wholesale / Exit Risk

What we look at

Age, demand, market position, reconditioning investment, presentation and disposition economics.

What we identify

Vehicles that may warrant a defined exit review, without treating age alone as the answer.

What management receives

Keep, reprice, fix, monitor or exit-review framing.

08

Priority Board

What we look at

Vehicle and department findings across the full audit.

What we identify

The few actions that will materially improve control this week.

What management receives

Owners, priority, due dates and verification checks.

09

Ongoing Performance Monitoring

What we look at

Current versus prior audits, action progress and new exceptions as the operation changes.

What we identify

What moved, what is stuck and what needs a new management decision.

What management receives

A recurring executive management rhythm and delivery portal.
