The challenge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five audits, five spreadsheets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most teams run many kinds of audit across their outlets, and each one lives somewhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Dealer Operating Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Checks each dealership against the brand\u2019s rules for its building, staff, processes and customer care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

5S<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Checks that workshops and stores are sorted, clean and organised, and that they stay that way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mystery shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A shopper visits as a normal customer and scores how the visit really went.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Health and safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Checks fire exits, first aid, protective equipment and risks, so everyone at the outlet stays safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Internal audits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your own checks on buildings, equipment and maintenance, outlet by outlet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So no one sees the whole picture, scores can\u2019t be compared, and the same problems come back at the next audit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How it works<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One loop for every audit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you audit, it runs the same way in AutoSmart, and each round makes the next one better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pick the audit, the outlets and the dates. Your checklists are already set up, with your own sections and scoring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Auditors answer each item on a phone or tablet, take photos where the checklist asks, and the score adds up as they go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Act<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every gap becomes an action with a person in charge and a due date, closed with photo proof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every audit type on one dashboard, by outlet and region, so you know where to look in the next round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What gets audited<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What teams audit with AutoSmart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any audit that follows a standard can run in AutoSmart. These are the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
