Overview

VT requires a Windows operationg system

This software was originally designed to meet the needs of the small trader in new and/or used Vehicles.
Continual development of functions requested by users over a 5 year period has made it suitable also for larger organisations.
Customers range from one man traders to multi million pound turnover businesses with 6 users, and accountants using the multi-client version to provide a service to their clients.  But it remains simple to use out of the box and at it’s very low cost. Version 4.65 introduced a customisable function so that field names can be changed.

It is designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with Sage 50, but can be used stand-alone with files produced for import to Sage or other accounts. The link to Sage is fully dynamic e.g. optionally on saving a sale, the new customer and sales invoice are instantly posted to Sage.

It provides a means of recording Vehicle Stock, Purchases and Sales of vehicles including recording Part Exchange, Sale or Return, calculating VAT using the Margin Scheme where appropriate, directly updating Sage Accounts with new Accounts and with Purchase and Sales Invoices, and Printing Invoices which include Used Vehicle Declaration. Addition of RFL, HP Settlements, Due from Finance, and Deposits Taken are all catered for. Supplier invoices for works, and internal costs, can also be recorded against the vehicles. Appropriate reports are produced.  Using information from this system and from Sage accounts obviates the need to maintain the hand written book that many traders purchase and use for the second hand vehicles.  This stock book is replicated by a report from VT.
