New Enhancements to IDS Leadership Insights Provide Dealership Managers with Unmatched Financial and Service Analysis

Wake Forest, NC — Integrated Dealer Systems (IDS), a leading provider of dealer management software for the RV, marine, and trailer industries, is thrilled to announce some key enhancements to Leadership Insights, its integrated dealership analytics platform. With the launch of several powerful new views, Leadership Insights now goes beyond just delivering data—it empowers dealers to turn insights into action.

These new views and enhancements, available at no additional cost to current users, enable dealerships to set performance goals, track progress in real time, and make more informed decisions through in-depth year-over-year (YoY) comparisons and other actionable metrics.

Whether you’re at the dealership, on the road, or on vacation, Leadership Insights gives you instant access to performance data, plus the tools to act on it. No more digging through spreadsheets or juggling third-party platforms. With seamless integration into IDS Astra G2 dealership management system, you can visualize trends, monitor team performance, and stay on target—all from one single, intuitive platform.

These updates mark a shift from simply understanding your business to actively shaping its future, with clear, measurable outcomes.

New Enhancements to Financial Reports

Collaborating closely with dealers, IDS has expanded the capabilities of the Leadership Insights Financial Reports to include:

• Year-Over-Year Comparisons: Compare sales and expenses across multiple years and months, broken down by individual departments, so you can easily spot trends and highlight areas for improvement.
• Goal Tracker: Track goals by department for the full year, so you can quickly compare current performance against year-to-date goals, use these insights to forecast progress against goals, and make data-driven adjustments.

New Reports and Views to Track Team Performance

IDS has also added three dynamic new views that allow dealers to monitor team progress on a monthly, weekly, and even daily basis:

• Key Insights Report: A concise executive summary designed to give key stakeholders a high-level view of their dealership’s performance across all departments—sent to their inbox weekly for quick review.
• F&I Manager Review: Evaluate finance performance, product penetration, and F&I percentages over time, so you can spot opportunities and create accurate forecasts. Drill down by F&I manager, location, or salesperson for deeper insights.
• Service Writer Review: Monitor service department performance, including monthly sales, work order counts, Repair Event Cycle Times, labor rates, and hours sold, so you can maximize efficiency and service revenue. Drill down by author and location for deeper insights.

“With these new views in Leadership Insights, dealers are not just looking at data, they’re gaining actionable insights that directly impact the bottom line,” says Don Miller, Senior Data Innovation Manager at IDS, “The goal tracker and individual performance reviews allow them to quickly identify areas for improvement and celebrate successes.”

Leadership Insights users already love these enhancements.

“Using Leadership Insights has greatly enhanced our ability to monitor all of the metrics we care about while reducing redundant entries and spreadsheets we have used in the past,” says Corbin Croom of RV Country. “The F&I Manager Review page allows us to track all F&I KPIs for all managers, all locations, and allows the user to toggle between Cash or Finance deals under whichever date range we would like to analyze. The time savings from having to create our own reports downloaded from IDS to now having IDS feed the dashboard style reporting is huge – likely hundreds of employee hours over the course of the year.”

IDS is continuously adding new views and enhancements to Leadership Insights, in collaboration with the dealers who use it. To learn more about Leadership Insights, visit www.ids-astra.com/leadership-insights or contact the IDS Sales Team at sales@ids-astra.com.
