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.
