For the GM's seat  ·  Built by a 30-year operator who ran the chair

7am brief. Live deal P&L.
The GM's seat.

By 8am the average GM has logged into seven systems: DMS, CRM, F&I, floorplan, inventory pricing, lender portal, OEM dashboard. By 9am, nobody upstairs has a clean picture of yesterday. Louie collapses the seven into one — morning brief auto-opens, deal gross rolls up live, your own composite benchmark runs underneath. See the store before it sees you.

What every GM lives with by Tuesday

Six holes quietly costing the chair.

None of these are about your team's effort. All of them are about the stack: too many systems, too much delay, too little signal. Louie was built to close each one.

Seven logins by 8am

DMS, CRM, F&I, floorplan, inventory pricing tool, lender portal, OEM dashboard. Each one with a separate password, separate format, separate refresh time. The morning is gone before the floor opens.

↳ 7am Morning Brief auto-aggregates all 7 in one screen by 7am. Priority callouts ranked. Three-click drilldown to source.

MTD performance you don't see until 4pm

Sales board updates verbally at the desk. F&I numbers run after deals close. Service is its own silo. The full picture lands when the controller emails the flash report — too late to course-correct.

↳ Deal Gross Roll-Up captures front and F&I gross the moment each deal is logged, rolled into the Morning Brief's live MTD totals.

Floorplan curtailment surprises Friday

Aged units cross the 90/120/180-day flooring trigger. Curtailment hits the bank balance Friday morning with no warning. $14K out of working capital, no plan.

↳ Floorplan Curtailment Calendar surfaces every unit's days-to-trigger, dollars at risk, and recommended action (wholesale, retail markdown, hold).

GM scorecard arrives at month-end

The OEM scorecard lands the 7th of next month. By then the gap is too big to close. You ran blind on the metrics you're being graded on.

↳ 20-Group Composite Benchmark computes your own PVR-by-department, expense-to-gross, and absorption numbers continuously from your real tables — so you know where you stand well before any month-end report lands.

Lender concentration risk invisible

One lender is funding 41% of your deals and you don't know it. Their buy program tightens next quarter and your deal flow falls off a cliff with no backup plan.

↳ Lender Scorecard tracks concentration, approval %, look-to-book, and reserve $ per lender. Diversification flags at risk thresholds.

Compliance breaches at audit

OFAC missed on a deal in March. Adverse action not sent within 30 days on three credit-denied deals. Discovered at the annual audit. Now it's a fine and a federal letter.

↳ Compliance heartbeat runs on every deal: OFAC, adverse action timer, Reg B/Reg Z, red flags. Manager pinged before the breach, not after.
What you get on day one

Nine GM modules. One seat.

Every module below is built, in the demo, and runs against your DMS/CRM/floorplan data the moment you connect. No per-manager seats. No "GM module" upgrade SKU. Your rooftop license covers the chair.

Module 1
7am Morning Brief

Auto-aggregates DMS, CRM, F&I, floorplan, inventory pricing, lender portal, OEM dashboard. 3 priority callouts ranked by dollar impact. 3-click drilldown to source.

Backed by: src/morning-brief.js · 7-source aggregation
Module 2
Deal Gross Roll-Up

Front gross and F&I gross captured per deal as it's logged, rolled up into the Morning Brief's live day/week/month totals.

Backed by: src/routes/morning-brief.js (SalesLogs)
Module 3
Dealership Health Score

12-signal composite: sales pace, F&I penetration, service hours, CSI live, lender mix, flooring exposure, comp leverage, compliance, parts gross, recon throughput, BDC, used aging.

Backed by: src/health-score.js · composite scoring engine
Module 4
Floorplan Curtailment Calendar

Every unit's curtailment days and balance tracked live, with the underlying curtailment payment posted straight to the GL.

Backed by: src/routes/floorplan.js + src/accounting/floorplan-gl-posting.js
Module 5
Lender Scorecard

Concentration %, approval rate, look-to-book, reserve $/deal, kill reasons by lender. Diversification flags fire at risk threshold. Closed-loop weights inform routing.

Backed by: src/lender-scorecard.js · routing intelligence
Module 6
Stair-Step Tracker

Manufacturer money tiers tracked unit-by-unit. Distance to next stair flagged, with a $/unit narrative showing what the next tier is really worth.

Backed by: src/routes/stairStep.js
Module 7
Comp Plan Calibration

Simulate any rep's paycheck against additional units or front gross before you commit to a plan change.

Backed by: src/pay-portal.js (simulatePaycheck)
Module 8
20-Group Composite Benchmark

The same NADA/NCM-style composite you'd submit to a 20-group or factory — PVR by department, expense-to-gross, absorption rate — built from your real sales, service, and payroll tables, not a separate ledger.

Backed by: src/routes/composite-benchmark.js
Module 9
AI GM Coach (Louie)

Named after the founder operator. Reads the brief, the P&L, the health score; flags the 3 things the GM should walk and ask about today. Plain-language, no jargon.

Backed by: src/role-brain.js (GM / Owner section)
A Tuesday in the chair

7am brief to lunch by noon. One GM seat.

Below is exactly what the chair sees on a typical mid-month Tuesday at a 90-unit-per-month store. Same workflow runs whether you're a single-point or a 12-rooftop group.

The Louie GM Tuesday

Modeled on a 90-unit/month store, mid-month, lunch ambition intact.

1

6:55 — Coffee + brief

Morning Brief auto-loads on the laptop. 7 sources collapsed into one view. 3 priority callouts ranked by dollar impact.

2

7:10 — Aged unit flag

Callout #1: stock #6172 hitting 110-day flooring trigger Friday. AI recommends wholesale at $14K vs. $1,800 curtailment + 30 more days carry.

3

7:25 — F&I miss to coach

Callout #2: F&I #2 missed VSC on 3 of 5 deals yesterday — all aged buyers. Coaching prompt drafted with menu re-build for the morning huddle.

4

7:40 — Stair-step nudge

Callout #3: 4 units away from the next Tier-3 stair-step. Mix recommendation: push the 2 in-stock Crew Cabs to hit Wed cutoff.

5

9:00 — Live P&L

MTD pace 102%, projected month-end 96 units. Front gross holding, back gross light by $80 PVR. Health score 84.

6

10:30 — Lender flag

Lender Scorecard shows concentration drifting to 39% on one bank. Diversification prompt drafted; F&I director routed an alt-tier recommendation.

7

11:30 — Comp check

GM sims one salesperson's paycheck against a slower month using Comp Plan Calibration — confirms the plan still holds before a retention conversation Wed.

8

12:00 — Lunch

Three priorities cleared by noon. Floor running. Louie (AI coach) flags one walk-around to do after lunch on the body shop. Lunch is yours.

What the GM sees first

7:31am. Before anyone asks. Louie already ran the store.

This is what loads when Rick unlocks his laptop. He didn't log into seven systems. He didn't chase the controller. Louie prepared this overnight.

Louie Morning Brief — Confidential
7:31am — Good morning, Rick.
  • 3 deals approved overnight · $41,200 est. backend
  • Floor coverage: 7 reps · 2 split shifts
  • Capital at Risk: 14 aged units over 60 days
  • Lender alert: Westlake tightened Tier 3 overnight
  • Action required: 2 contracts missing proof of insurance

Louie prepared this before you arrived. You didn't have to ask.

What Louie does before you walk in
1:30am — Lender reweight
Outcome data from yesterday's funded deals updates lender probability weights. Today's routing is smarter than yesterday's.
3:00am — Inventory risk scan
Units over 60 days flagged. Floor plan curtailment dates calculated. Capital-at-risk list ranked.
4:15am — Lead re-engagement
Cold leads from 24–48 hrs prior automatically receive a follow-up. Average response rate: 18%.
5:45am — Gross leakage audit
Yesterday's closed deals scored for missed reserve, missed product, and structure inefficiency.
7:00am — Brief assembled
Everything above condensed into 5 bullets. Waiting when you open your laptop. No login required to see alerts.
Old way vs Louie way

Same chair. Different visibility.

Same store, same team, same OEM program. The difference is whether the GM runs the store or chases it.

What we claim and what we don't

We claim: ~$14K average weekly floorplan curtailment surfaced early, and morning-brief load times of ~3 seconds against a 7-system manual baseline. A $312 PVR-lift figure was previously claimed alongside these; it is retracted as of September 2026 — see /transparency.

We don't claim: every store will hit identical numbers. OEM brand, store volume, floorplan terms, lender panel, F&I bench depth, and the existing reporting cadence all change the math. The mechanism is mechanical: collapse 7 systems into 1, refresh continuously, rank the next action. Your gain scales with how fragmented the current stack is.
