Monthly Dealer Strategy
Monthly strategic report with market analysis and group action plan
Purpose
Monthly strategy reviews at dealer groups are often backward-looking recaps of what happened — not forward-looking analyses of what the market is telling you to do. By the time a monthly report is assembled manually, the next month is already underway.
Monthly Dealer Strategy compresses the full strategic cycle into a single run: MoM performance, market share movement by location, segment trend analysis, inventory health audit, and a concrete strategic action plan for the coming month — all grounded in live market data.
How It Works
Execution flow. MCP tool calls are shown inline on each step.
Compute prior and current month date ranges from currentDate context. Load full group profile with all locations.
↔ Parallel Execution
get_sold_summaryPull sold summary for current and prior month per location to calculate volume, share, and velocity changes.
get_sold_summaryPull segment-level sold data to identify which body types and price ranges gained or lost momentum in each market.
search_active_carsReview active comps and 90-day sold trends per market to assess inventory health and pricing competitiveness at month end.
Produce executive summary, location scorecards, segment outlook, and a prioritized strategic action plan for the coming month.
MCP Tool Calls
| Tool | Calls | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
get_sold_summary | 3–5 per location | MoM performance and segment trends |
search_active_cars | 1 per location | Month-end inventory audit |
