Notebook, spreadsheet, chats or RODAVA.

Each serves a purpose. Here's what each does well, and where it falls short when you have more cars, more people and more questions.

Notebook
Does well
It costs nothing, needs no signal or battery, and anyone understands it.
Falls short
It stays in one place, gives no alerts, and if you lose it, you lose everything.
Spreadsheet
Does well
It's flexible, you already know it, and it's good for calculations.
Falls short
Someone has to keep it updated, photos and leads stay elsewhere, and anyone with the file can see your costs.
Chats
Does well
Your buyers are already there, it's immediate, and photos arrive instantly.
Falls short
Leads get lost among messages and stay on each salesperson's phone.
RODAVA
Does well
Enter a car once and it appears on your website, in your sharing images, in your leads and in your margin figures.
Asks of you
A subscription, and adding your cars at the start, one by one or from your spreadsheet.

Who changed what and when	No	It depends on how you use it	No	With name and time
What it costs	Nothing	Nothing or almost nothing	Nothing	A subscription

Honestly

RODAVA helps when there are more cars, more people or more questions than you can keep in your head.
