What software do independent used-car dealers use for inventory, recon, the desk and titles?
4barrel OS is used-car dealer software from Accelerated Experiences LLC built for the independent lot of twenty to sixty units. It runs inventory with each car's all-in cost, recon, the desk, leads, finance, online sales, and the title and compliance check in one system. It is one flat monthly price, never per seat, sized for your lot instead of priced for a franchise store.
4barrel OS is a dealer management system (DMS) for independent and boutique used-car dealers from Accelerated Experiences LLC: inventory with full cost basis (hammer, fees, transport, recon) and daily floor-plan carry, a recon-to-frontline gate, desking, lead and up management, F&I back-gross tracking, online deals with deposits, and a title and compliance gate before delivery. Flat-rate licensing in three tiers; no seat-based pricing.
What 4barrel OS does
What each car really costs
Every unit carries its real cost (hammer, fees, transport, recon) and the floor-plan interest that grows each day it sits.
The recon gate
A car cannot hit the line until recon reads Ready.
Titles and compliance
A deal cannot be delivered until the title is in hand, the FTC Buyers Guide is posted and the odometer is disclosed.
The desk and the ups
Leads and ups to work, deals desked, and the one sold without the title in hand.
Finance and online sales
Back gross on every deal, and online deals with a deposit down, in the same desk.
Landed cost and carry
Per-unit cost basis (hammer, auction fees, transport, recon) plus accruing daily floor-plan interest; total capital tied up on the lot.
Recon workflow gate
Units cannot go frontline-ready until reconditioning is marked complete.
Delivery compliance gate
Delivery blocked until title is in hand, the FTC Buyers Guide is posted and odometer disclosure is complete.
Desking and ups
Lead and up management, desked deals and title-pending exceptions.
F&I and digital retail
Back-end gross per deal and store gross, plus online deals with deposits from listing to delivery.
