Run the store from one picture.
Fore Datum was built inside a working Mercedes-Benz Van Center, against the systems a franchise store actually runs. Here's how it fits into yours.
Five stages. Receipts at each.
Feeds arrive
DMS, CRM, OEM portal, service and telematics data lands daily on storage you own.
Checked on arrival
Every file is checked for freshness and shape before it is trusted.
Keyed on VIN
Customers and vehicles are matched across systems, and disagreements are flagged.
Who sees what
Access is set by role, and every number keeps a trail back to its source.
Answers on the floor
Managers ask in plain words, and campaigns and reports draw on the same picture.
Every desk in the store.
The same governed picture serves the dealer principal and the service advisor. Each sees what their role needs.
- 01
Dealer principal
One view across sales, service, parts and the factory statement, without waiting for month-end.
- 02
Sales manager
Aging units matched to open leads, and trade-in equity from real service history.
- 03
Service and parts
Every VIN's history in one place, and customers due back before they drift to an independent shop.
- 04
Controller
Variances between the DMS and the OEM statement surfaced as they happen, with the source of each number.
- 05
Marketing
Audiences from real transactions, with suppression applied before anything is sent.
Questions to ask any data vendor.
- 01
Where does my data live?
On storage you control, or inside the vendor's platform?
- 02
What happens if I leave?
Can you keep reading your history without them?
- 03
How do you get the data?
Through approved feeds and dealer-authorized access, or by screen scraping?
- 04
Can I trace a number?
Can every figure be followed back to the system and file it came from?
- 05
Which AI, and who chooses?
Are you locked to one model provider, or does the platform use the right model for each job?
