Empowering Dealers with Actionable Inventory Insights

Effective inventory management is the cornerstone of success for marine dealerships and OEMs. The Lightspeed Marine Dealer New Units in Stock Report is designed to provide a clear and comprehensive snapshot of new in-stock major unit inventory, including boats, PWCs, and outboard engines. By delivering critical insights, this report helps dealers and manufacturers optimize inventory levels, enhance decision-making, and stay ahead in a competitive market.


Why This Data Matters

1. Inventory Management

Understanding dealer inventory levels is critical for reducing overstocking or accumulating non-current models. This report enables dealers to identify trends and make proactive adjustments to optimize production, manage inventory flow, and prevent bottlenecks.

2. National Benchmarking

The report allows dealers and OEMs to benchmark their inventory levels against national standards. This comparison highlights how individual inventory aligns with market trends, providing a competitive edge in planning and strategy.


Key Recommendations for Dealers and OEMs

1. Stock Adjustment

Focus on high-demand models while planning promotions or discounts for non-current inventory. Addressing older inventory first frees up space and resources for new, in-demand units.

2. Strategic Ordering

Refine your ordering process by leveraging insights from the Lightspeed DMS. Analyze sales trends and demand projections to ensure future orders align with market needs.

3. Marketing Focus

Tailor marketing campaigns to promote non-current inventory. Highlight special offers or value-added features to attract customers and move older stock faster.

4. Training and Awareness

Equip your sales team with insights from the inventory report. A well-informed team can better align their efforts with dealership goals, enhancing the customer experience and driving more strategic sales.
