A connected trailer business

Stop managing disconnected systems.
Start managing the whole operation.

From materials and work orders to VIN-specific inventory and customer deposits, every handoff matters to your bottom line.

01 / MANUFACTURING

Know what each build costs.

Connect bills of materials, labour, work orders and material usage to clearer production costing.

02 / THE LOT

Know which units are available, for sale or rent.

Track individual trailers and connect online enquiries, reservations, rentals and sales to inventory.

03 / THE BUSINESS

Know where margins stand.

Bring operational costs and financial information together for better decisions, sooner.

More than dealership software

One platform. Every essential workflow.

Purpose-built trailer processes, supported by Odoo's broad ERP capabilities—without the overhead of stitching together separate applications.

Unit-level inventory

Know what's in production, available on the lot, reserved or sold—down to the individual unit.

Sales & CRM

Track leads, quotes, customers, orders and follow-up from first enquiry to final sale.

Integrated accounting

Connect invoicing, payments, purchasing and financial reporting to day-to-day operations.

E-commerce & websites

Publish online inventory, accept reservation enquiries, support deposits and generate quote requests.

Marketing & social

Bring email marketing, campaigns, automation and social media workflows into the same ecosystem.

Service & shop

Handle customer repairs, warranty claims and rental-fleet maintenance alongside parts, purchasing and customers.

Rental operations

Run a rental fleet from the same inventory you sell: bookings, availability, pickup and return inspections, deposits and billing.

Purchasing & supply

Connect supplier purchasing and materials replenishment to build and sales demand.

Features, modules, integrations and licence requirements depend on the agreed implementation scope.

Enterprise-grade ERP. Right-sized for SMEs.

Start with what you need.
Grow when you're ready.
