The problem

Three things turn a confident opening into an apology.

The deal starts before the handshake. Put hands on the exact car and its key before the customer arrives — not while they stand there waiting.

Can't find the car

It's in inventory, but nobody knows where across your lots, vendors and aftermarket locations.

Customer waiting

Can't find the key

Nothing worse than the customer standing at the vehicle they came to purchase and no one can find its key.

Momentum dying

Lot rot

The car hasn't moved in days. Dead battery, flat spot, surprise during the demo drive.

Deal at risk
The old way

Every car, every key, on one screen.

A missing key on a Saturday is a missing deal. MDD puts every car and key on one screen — so the scramble never happens.

A dealership key control board with a 2023 BMW X3 key marked MISSING while the sales team panics before a customer appointment — the chaos MDD eliminates
Key missing. Customer waiting. The whole floor scrambling. MDD makes sure this never happens again.
The approach

Tag the car. Tag the key. At stock-in.

A tracking tag on every car and every key. The whole team sees any location in seconds — from their phone.

Walk straight to it

Pull up the app, walk to the vehicle, keys in hand the first time.

No more hunting

Beat lot rot

MDD flags any unit not driven, so cars get exercised on a schedule.

Lot-rot flag

Audit in minutes

Every unit's location is already known, so floor-plan audits stop being an all-hands hunt.

Fast reconciliation
Built for every lot

Multiple lots. Overflow. Garage floors.

GPS goes blind indoors. MDD knows which floor of a garage a car is parked on — wherever it sits across your operation.

Questions dealers ask about finding keys and cars.

How do dealerships keep from losing keys and cars?
Every vehicle and key gets a Bluetooth tracking tag at stock-in. Your team sees the live location of any car or key from a phone or desktop, indoors and out. Bill Brown Ford tracks 2,000+ vehicles across multiple lots this way.
Is MDD Locate GPS tracking?
No. MDD uses Bluetooth, not GPS. GPS goes blind indoors — in service bays, detail shops, and parking garages — which is exactly where dealership cars sit. Bluetooth gives accurate location everywhere on your property, down to which floor of a garage a car is parked on.
How fast can you find a specific vehicle?
Seconds. Longo Toyota went from 25 minutes of walking the lot to locating any vehicle in seconds.
How much does a lost key cost a dealership?
A modern key fob runs $300 to $800 to replace, and the losses add up quietly. After implementing MDD, Brandon Honda reports zero lost keys.
Does MDD integrate with our DMS?
Yes. MDD integrates with Reynolds and Reynolds, CDK, and other major DMS platforms. Stock numbers and VINs auto-populate when you tag a vehicle.
How long does setup take?
Most dealerships are fully operational within a day. Each tag takes about 10 seconds to attach at stock-in, and MDD handles the configuration and training.
What does MDD Locate cost?
Pricing is customized to your dealership size and lot configuration. Most dealers say it pays for itself in the first month from reduced lost keys alone. Schedule a 15-minute demo for a custom quote.
