Market and operational intelligence

See what one dealership report leaves disconnected.

MIQ connects internal dealership performance with authorized market context so leaders can make better decisions about inventory, cash, capital, competition, and growth.

Strategic capability

See beyond one rooftop and one report.

01

Competitive assortment

Compare dealer-authorized records with licensed market signals MIQ is authorized to use, so the dealership can see where nearby supply is crowded and where a different model, trim, or price point may fit demand better.

02

Group inventory balancing

View aging, demand, carrying cost, and location needs across a dealer group's authorized rooftops so transfers and ordering decisions support the group instead of one store in isolation.

03

Capital allocation

Connect inventory age, reconditioning, pricing, turn, and carrying cost to rank the units and locations that need the next capital decision.

04

Acquisition intelligence

Combine permitted market, inventory, pricing, and operating signals to identify dealerships that warrant closer commercial diligence and a better-informed valuation question.

Operating economics

Five field notes on cash, variance, annual recovery, aging inventory, and completed work.

  1. Cash Flow & Funding VelocityPublished Apr 18, 2026

    Cash-in-transit is a quiet leak

    A funded deal is not finished until the cash lands. The operating question is which contracts crossed the store's aging line, why, and which gate would have prevented the repeat.

  2. F&I Revenue & CompliancePublished Apr 16, 2026

    Per-copy is the report. Variance is the story.

    A strong per-copy average can hide reserve compression, product-mix drift, cancellation pressure, and disclosure risk. The average says fine while the desk changes underneath it.

  3. Financial Structure & OEM RecoveryPublished Apr 12, 2026

    The annual dollars hide in the calendar

    Operators watch the numbers that move daily. OEM recovery, lender readiness, program compliance, and documentation discipline move on annual calendars, and they deserve the same operating control.

  4. Inventory & Market IntelligencePublished Apr 10, 2026

    Floorplan interest is only the visible carry

    Floorplan interest is visible. Depreciation, market-position drift, attention cost, and wholesale recovery spread also carry the unit, and they deserve the same review discipline as the interest line.

  5. Service & Warranty RecoveryPublished Apr 8, 2026

    Who audits the back end?

    Service and warranty performance can look acceptable in departmental averages while denial, sublet, labor-rate, and handoff leakage sit underneath them.
