Automotive audit software to run audits at scale

Audit, score, report and follow up, all in one application for every dealership and outlet.

  1. Step 1: Audits on your phone

    Auditors open the checklist on a phone or tablet, answer each question and add photos on the spot. Findings can be spoken instead of typed, and with no signal the audit is saved on the phone and uploaded later.

  2. Step 2: Scoring and photo evidence

    Every answer is scored as the auditor goes, with photos attached, so the result is ready when the audit ends.

  3. Step 4: Action plan tracking

    Every failed item becomes an action with a person in charge and a due date. It moves from Pending to Approved, and anything late is escalated automatically.

How it works

From checklist to closed action in three steps

Set up once, audit anywhere, and see every issue through to the fix.

Step 1: Setup

Add your dealerships, regions and teams once, and bring in the checklists you already use.

  • Import your existing checklists
  • Or start from ready-made templates

Step 2: Audit

Auditors complete each audit on their phone, scoring every answer as they go.

  • Photo evidence on every answer
  • Scheduled audits with reminders

Step 3: Action plan

Every failed item goes into the action plan with a person in charge and a due date, and stays open until it is fixed.

  • Late actions escalate automatically
  • Live dashboard for every dealership

10 → 3 days From audit to final report, with the action plan prepared automatically during the audit

“Before, it was five days for evaluation and five days for preparing the report and sharing, but currently, we take 2 or 3 days for the evaluation, and the action plan is prepared during the evaluation.”

Frequently asked questions

What is automotive dealer audit management software?

It is software that lets an automotive brand, distributor or dealer group run every dealership audit in one place, from the checklist to the fix. In AutoSmart Audit, auditors score each dealership on a phone or tablet with photo evidence, every failed item becomes an action with a person in charge and a due date, and head office follows scores and open actions on one live dashboard instead of Excel files and slide decks.

Who uses AutoSmart Audit in a dealer network?

Anyone responsible for keeping every dealership up to the brand’s standard. Users include Dealer Development Managers, Dealer Network Development Managers, Heads of Field Operations, Regional Aftersales Managers, and Quality and Customer Experience teams at OEMs, distributors and dealer groups. Area managers audit on the phone, dealers close their own actions, and leadership reads the dashboard. Fuel, lube, tyre and convenience retailers use it the same way across their outlets.

Can you move our audits from Excel or another tool?

Yes. Our solution specialists and customer success team handle the move: they turn your current checklists and scoring into templates, import your data and train your users. Customers have moved from spreadsheets and from tools they built in-house. Kia India, for example, replaced Excel files and email chains for more than 1,100 field users, and Behbehani Brothers had its existing procedures mapped into structured audit questions during set-up.

How long does it take to go live?

Most networks are configured and live in 3 to 5 business days. Larger roll-outs, with training and custom workflows, take 2 to 4 weeks. Guided set-up of your network, users and first audits is included. As an example, Kia India piloted AutoSmart Audit in November and December 2025 and reached network-wide use within one month, and MG Motors MEA had it working in its processes within a week.

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is per outlet, not per user, so you can add as many auditors, managers and dealer teams as you need at no extra cost. Everyone gets unlimited checklists, the mobile application, photo evidence, automatic action plans and guided set-up. Prices are not published: tell us how many outlets you audit and which features you need, and we send one quote, with a free pilot before you buy.

Can dealers run self-audits between visits?

Yes. Self-audits can be switched on for selected dealerships or teams, so dealers check themselves against the same checklist and attach photo evidence while head office keeps oversight. MG Motors MEA introduced self-audits for its distributors, capturing images, issues and action plans in the system. At Kia India, dealers complete assessments with evidence, so the area manager arrives already knowing the weak areas and the visit is shorter and more focused.

Can we manage several brands and regions in one account?

Yes. A dealer group or distributor can run several brands, countries or distributor groups under one parent account, with each one’s data kept separate. Access can be limited so each user sees only the brands, branches or audit programmes they are responsible for, and dashboards can be split by brand, region or outlet type, so head office compares the whole network while each team sees its own part.

Does AutoSmart Audit run in the cloud or on our own servers?

Both are possible. AutoSmart Audit is our own software, built by our team and run in the cloud, and it can also be deployed on your own servers if your IT or compliance rules require it. Data residency options let you choose where your data is hosted, and users can log in with single sign-on through your company’s identity provider.
