What a missed car costs

Failing a floorplan audit
is not a paperwork problem.

The auditor walks the lot once a month. Every unit they cannot put eyes on becomes a payoff demand, and the clock on that demand is measured in days, not billing cycles.

The payoff window
~2 days

A missed car at the monthly floorplan audit is due almost immediately.

When the auditor cannot find a unit, the lender typically treats it as sold out of trust and gives the store roughly two days to pay it off. One missed vehicle is $50K–$300K+ out of the operating account, with little warning.

The math
$599/mo

One subscription vs. one missed vehicle.

Always Audit starts at $599 a month for the whole store. A single car the audit team could not locate costs more than a decade of the subscription, before counting the lender's trust, curtailments or a flooring line review.

The public example
>$5.1M

Toyota Motor Credit v. a Connecticut dealer group, 2026.

In a 2026 suit, Toyota Motor Credit reportedly claimed more than $5.1 million from a Connecticut dealer group over vehicles financed on the floorplan that it alleged were sold out of trust. The figure is the lender's reported claim, not a verdict.

Always Audit exists so the auditor never finds a car your team didn't already know about.

How It Works

Signed to live
in about a week.

Rollout is a label on every windshield and the app on the phones your team already carries. Here is the whole sequence.

  1. 1

    Sign

    Day 0

    A three month minimum and then a 30-day out. No long-term contracts.

  2. 2

    Hardware Ships

    Days 1–3

    Portable printers and label rolls ship to the store. No devices installed on your vehicles or your network.

  3. 3

    DMS and Team Setup

    Before the box lands

    We'll invite your lot, sales and service team to Always Audit, connect the DMS and website feeds, and walk through your first floorplan file import.

  4. 4

    Your Turn: Label the Lot

    Seconds per car

    Your team prints and labels as they walk the lot. A 200–300 car lot is a one-day install with two people of any skill level.

  5. 5

    Live

    About a week

    Every scan is an audit touch from day one. The Heat Map, Review Tab and Live Audit are on for your next floorplan visit.

Continuous Lot Reconciliation

Pick up the haystack.
Shake out the needles.

Every scan is an audit touch. The Heat Map shows every unit on your floorplan as a color-coded dot by when it was last verified on the lot, so you find the vehicles nobody has seen recently before your auditor does. No more wandering the lot blind.

The Review Tab

The General Manager's Hub.

Always Audit automatically compares your physical lot data with your DMS, your dealership website, and your floorplan files. It flags every mismatch instantly, so audit day is just another day.

DMS Integration

Syncs continuously with CDK, Tekion, and Dealertrack to know what should be on the lot.

Website Monitoring

Checks your public inventory. Vehicle on the lot but missing from the site? We flag it.

Floorplan Reconciliation

Upload a .CSV/.XLSX from your floorplan provider. We cross-check it against physical scans.

Live Audit

One photo proves nothing.
Live Audit does.

Live Audit is the physical inventory audit your controller, your floorplan lender and your outside auditor can actually trust. Cryptographically signed reports, cross-checked photographic evidence, secure backup flow.

Why a single photo proves nothing

Legacy stock-check tools adapted for the U.S. market sell a single VIN photo as proof the car is on the lot. They trust...

  • A deal jacket or a buyer's-order printout
  • A window sticker photographed last month
  • A DMS screen in the back office

Always Audit's low-cost labels are already on every vehicle for lot operations. It is the one thing a crew member cannot scan without standing in front of that vehicle, and the two photos that follow lock the proof to that moment and that person.

Live Audit is dealer enabled, and dealer driven.

Each audit starts with a toggle. We provide floorplan companies ZERO visibility into your inventory until you allow it.

Live Audit vs. Legacy Audit Apps

Built for speed.
Can't be finessed at a desk.

Live Audit is built for the way a dealership operates and for what the controller needs to pass an audit.

Legacy audit appsAlways Audit

Proof of presence

One photo of a VIN (including window stickers) and one photo of hopefully the same car.
Tokenized label, VIN photo and full-vehicle photo from the same crew member, with GPS and time rules enforced.

Backup documents

Collected later at a desk and attached manually, one at a time.
Scanned on the lot with the phone camera and attached to the right vehicle automatically.

Offline capture

Scans sync later and land wherever the phone rejoins Wi-Fi.
Captures queue on the phone and never count toward the wrong audit or the wrong person, even on shared devices.

Reconciliation

Missing units are manually matched against individual uploads.
Resolutions suggested from sales, website and DMS data. Nothing finalizes without a human approving it.

Separation of duties

A sign-off step, with no guarantee the reconciler is not the approver.
Reconcilers never approve their own work. Controllers and outside auditors review through a read-only link.

Report integrity

A timestamped spreadsheet anyone with the file can edit after the fact.
A signed report with a cryptographic integrity hash over the evidence, manager sign-offs and e-signature.

Group visibility

Per-store progress pages and Excel export.
Every store's audit status, days since last audit and overdue flags on one dashboard.
Tamper-evident by design

Hand your auditor a report they can't poke holes in.

Mobile App

Walk the lot.
Find the cars.

Available on Web, iPhone, and Android. Our patent-pending "active scan" lets lot employees simply walk past vehicles to scan labels, with no getting up close.

Gamified Audits

Every employee helps find vehicles. The traditional lot audit is gamified with points for locating inventory. The longer a vehicle has been missing, the more points it's worth.

Say goodbye to fading barcodes, pre-printed sticker books, and proprietary scan guns.

Patent-Pending Smart Labels

Unique tokenized QR labels with dual scanning logic. Employees scan to earn points for inventory tracking. Customers scan with a normal phone camera (nothing to download) to instantly open the VDP on your website while updating the vehicle's location.

  • Won't turn yellow or fade in heat/sun
  • Peels off clean with no residue
  • No proprietary scanning hardware
