Purpose

Inventory Intelligence replaces gut-instinct stocking decisions with demand-to-supply ratios, aging alerts, turn-rate benchmarks, and optimal new-vs-used mix targets. It pulls sold market data and live supply counts to surface exactly which models are under-supplied (stocking opportunities) and which are over-supplied (avoid buying more).

The aging inventory workflow uses multi-agent orchestration — the lot-scanner agent paginates through all aged units, then the lot-pricer agent prices each against the market — while the market demand snapshot runs in parallel. The result is a complete picture of lot health and acquisition opportunity in a single report.

How It Works

Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.

Market Demand Snapshotget_sold_summary

Pull top 20 models by sold count for the prior month in the dealer's state. Also pull body type breakdown to reveal segment-level demand patterns.

Active Supply Countsearch_active_cars

Pull active inventory facets by make and model for the same state to get supply counts without fetching individual listings.

D/S Ratio Calculation

Calculate Demand-to-Supply ratio = monthly sold count / active supply count. Ratio >1.5 = under-supplied, 0.8-1.5 = balanced, <0.8 = over-supplied.

Aging Lot Scan (Multi-Agent)

Spawn lot-scanner agent to paginate through all units exceeding the aging threshold (default 60 DOM), sorted by DOM descending.

Lot Pricing (Multi-Agent)predict_price_with_comparables

Spawn lot-pricer agent to price each aged unit against predicted market price and calculate price gap, floor plan burn, and recommended action.

Limitations

US market only for demand analysis — get_sold_summary is US-only. UK dealers receive only the aging inventory alert workflow.
Aging inventory alert requires dealer_id in profile. Without it, the lot-scanner agent cannot pull dealer-specific inventory.
D/S ratio accuracy depends on state-level sold data — high-radius dealers near state borders may see demand misattributed to one state.
Lot-pricer prediction cost scales linearly with aged unit count — large lots with many aged units will incur higher API costs.
New vs used mix analysis separates data cleanly but requires two separate sold summary calls per make.
