Have you reviewed your labor spend this budget season?
Take a moment to consider what you spend each month on overtime, turnover, and the costs associated with hiring, training, and managing your hourly employees. Not to mention the constant headache of keeping your service drive fully staffed. One of the biggest ways DealerFLEX adds value for its clients is by controlling weekly costs while providing guests with the best service experience. Below we show four ways that DealerFLEX can help you meet your budget goals in 2025.
Control Costs
Outsourcing your labor comes with fewer headaches and controls for your labor cost. DealerFLEX can provide a completely customized staffing solution to effectively manage all aspects of your operation. We work with you to determine the best schedule, mix of roles, and management to hit your targeted labor budget every week. Our employees are cross-trained to work with any department and we make it easy to flex your labor appropriately to handle service center fluctuations.
Fully Staff Your Drive
Having a full staff is critical to meeting unit sales and fixed operations goals. With over a decade of experience staffing dealership operations, we have perfected the hourly talent acquisition process. Your team is no longer tasked with hiring, training, or managing the hourly workforce and you have an on-site manager as a single point of contact.
Manage Risk
DealerFLEX assumes full liability for every vehicle we handle. Our commitment to safety is unrivaled. The DealerFLEX employee training program is designed to prepare team members to identify, anticipate, and proactively avoid exposure and contact points. Our tech-driven logistics solutions keep our team accountable with AI-enabled tools that provide real-time feedback on driver behavior. Warnings for mobile device usage, speeding, and signal violations allow us to reduce the number of incidents that occur on the road.
ROI Impact
We always have a manager on-site and our cloud-based client portal adds efficiency and oversight to your operations. This means that your team is freed up to focus on technician, sales associate, and service advisor roles and the activities that generate revenue. Our focus on building a team environment and providing consistent service will be reflected in your CSI scores. Let your Techs and Advisors do what they do best and let us focus on the rest.
The true cost of the hourly workers within your fixed operations team goes well beyond hourly wages. (We covered some of these costs here!) Budgeting these high-turnover roles can be tricky, but using a managed service provider like DealerFLEX can keep your cost constant from week to week. Our goal is to work with you on a schedule and service model that is cost-neutral to what you are spending now while freeing you up to focus on sales and service.
