Case Study:
Aurora Car Sales with QEA AutoLens Solution
How Aurora Car Sales simplified compliance and gained back hours every week
The Client
Aurora Car Sales Ltd is a UK-based independent car dealership with a single site in Leicestershire.
The Problem
The business was growing fast but with growth came complexity as the business generated more and more data about sales and stock that had to be organised, managed, and have reports drawn from it.
Business Owner, Danny, met with Insight Delivered. We immediately identified Danny’s Top Three issues:
- VAT compliance risk: innocent mistakes created by overwhelming amounts of info, Margin VAT Scheme complications and rushing through the reconciliation process, which could easily lead to penalties or investigations.
- Time drain: hours were being spent each week juggling multiple spreadsheets to manage and then report on stock, expenses, sales, VAT due, and repairs.
- Limited visibility: as the business’s data was across multiple spreadsheets, with paper invoices and receipts in the mix, tracking car-specific costs, stock and profit margin was cumbersome. This was slowing decision-making and therefore growth.
Danny had been managing it all with spreadsheets. This worked when stock was small, but as the business expanded, the system became unmanageable. VAT calculations, car exchanges, and invoice matching were error-prone and therefore stressful.
The QEA AutoLens Solution
We recommended that Danny tried our QEA AutoLens – Sales HUB Solution. An AI‑powered analytics and operational platform designed for independent auto dealers, it’s our impactful AI-driven solution that gives them the insight and control over their numbers that they need.
Within a couple of weeks of first speaking to us, Danny was able to use QEA AutoLens to:
- Automate VAT submissions. It’s now done to 100% accuracy, every time, and available at any moment, so Danny is always on top of it in a hassle-free, and audit-ready way.
- Integrate stock and invoice management. Everything is now linked to each car –no more paper folders of receipts and invoices waiting to be inputted – and reports can instantly be run on each vehicle so Danny has up to the minute details about each one.
- Grow the business more than expected. With the time QEA AutoLens gave Danny back to focus on his business and the confidence of having accurate, to the minute, financials, the business has been able to grow – and continues to do so.
“Everything is great now. QEA AutoLens has allowed me to streamline my business processes, saving me time and stress plus increasing my confidence in the up to the minute health of my business.”
“This has led to me being able to grow the business, unexpectedly. I’m looking forward to even more growth and success!”
