Your dealership's
profit, on autopilot.
Axle runs your dealership's back office itself: it books the entries, accrues floor-plan cost on every VIN daily, catches the leaks, and closes your books every single night — sealed with a certificate anyone can verify.
No DMS switch required · Live in under 30 days · Every close sealed & publicly verifiable
Built for the stack your store already runs
Running on real dealership books right now.
Axle isn't a mockup of an idea. It closes the books of a real multi-rooftop group every night — posting the entries, accruing floor-plan cost on every VIN, and sealing each close with a certificate anyone can verify without seeing the data.
- ✓ 21 journal entries posted in a single nightly close
- ✓ $182.64 of floor-plan cost accrued in one day — across 69 VINs, to the penny
- ✓ Trial balance tied DR = CR to the cent, every night
If any past entry behind it were ever rewritten, this verification would visibly break. That's the point.
Set it up once. It runs every day.
Connect
Link your DMS and bank in minutes. Nothing to rip out — Axle works with what your store already runs.
Axle runs the books
It codes the entries, reconciles the schedules, tracks floor-plan cost per car, and watches every transaction — continuously, on its own.
You handle exceptions
Your books stay closed daily. You review only what truly needs a human — the rest is already done.
Everything your back office does — automated and watched.
The daily close
Every night Axle accrues floor-plan cost per VIN, posts the day's entries, audits the ledger, and seals the close. Month-end becomes a non-event.
Tamper-evident certificates
Each close is hashed and chained to the last. Auditors, lenders, and buyers can verify your books haven't been rewritten — without seeing your data.
Statements that write themselves
Income statement, balance sheet, and trial balance generated live from the ledger — always current, always tied to the cent.
True profit per VIN
Acquisition, recon, pack, ad spend, and daily carrying cost — fully loaded unit economics as ledger truth, not a month-end estimate.
Documents that file themselves
Snap a receipt — even with a pen-written VIN on it — and Axle reads it, codes it, routes it to the right car, and posts it with a logged assurance score.
A controller that never sleeps
Continuous audit for duplicates, ghost vendors, and margin leaks, plus bank reconciliation and a 13-week cash forecast — running all day, every day.
An original accounting method — not another dashboard.
Carrying cost accrues per VIN, per day, as real journal entries. Unit economics become ledger truth.
Automation posts only what it can prove, with a logged assurance score. Nothing is ever posted silently.
Sealed every night with a verifiable certificate. Month-end is just the 30th consecutive daily close.

“Axle wasn't built in a lab. It was built inside real dealership books — by an accountant who closes them.”
Talk to your dealership's finances like a person.
Ask anything in plain English. Axle reads your live ledger and DMS feed and answers with real numbers, charts, and drill-downs — and tells you what to do about it.
- ✓ "Why is net profit up this month?"
- ✓ "Which used units should I move first?"
- ✓ "Build me a KPI for service absorption."
- ✓ "Show me every duplicate payment this quarter."
• F&I gross/unit +8.7%

Questions, answered.
Do I have to switch my DMS?+
No. Axle connects to what you already run — DealerCenter, CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack and more. Nothing to rip out.
How long until we're live?+
Most stores are up in under 30 days — often much faster. Connect your data and the books start running that same night.
What is a close certificate?+
Every nightly close is sealed with a SHA-256 fingerprint chained to the previous close. Anyone can verify a certificate at axl.finance/verify without seeing your data — and if any past entry were ever rewritten, the chain would visibly break. Your auditor, lender, or buyer can finally trust the books without re-auditing them.
Is my data secure?+
Yes. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, every dealership's data is isolated per store, and every close is sealed with a tamper-evident certificate. Nothing posts silently — every automated decision is logged with its evidence and assurance score.
Does it replace my controller?+
No — it removes the data entry so your controller spends time on decisions, not typing. The work that needs judgment still goes to a human, with the evidence attached.
What about multiple rooftops?+
Built for groups. Every store gets its own live books, rolled up into one consolidated view — with per-rooftop floor-plan bleed and aging.
What does it cost?+
Simple per-rooftop pricing starting at $499/month — see the plans above. No per-seat games, and every plan includes the AI assistant.
