IDS Launches Industry Report With New Key Operational Benchmarks
May 11, 2022
Integrated Dealer Systems (IDS), a leading RV, marine, and trailer dealership software provider, has launched a new monthly initiative called the IDS Report, which provides industry insights in key areas of the dealership. This monthly visual report will share unit sales, F&I insights, and RECT benchmarks based on aggregated data from RV and marine dealerships across the nation.
Frank Tamburrini, General Manager of IDS, states:
"IDS was first to bring you the RECT reports, and these two new operational benchmarks are our continued commitment to keep bringing new innovations to the industry. I'm a big believer in the saying, you can't improve what you don't measure. These new operational insights are a way for IDS to give back to the industry we are so passionate about and help guide dealer decisions."
The IDS Report provides the monthly Repair Event Cycle Time (RECT) Report that dealers already know, plus new Unit Sales and F&I insights.
Don Miller, Senior Data Consultant at Constellation Software, the parent company of IDS, shares an overview of what dealers can expect in this monthly report:
"The Monthly Revenue section provides a quick, high-level look at the market as a whole and compares it to, not just last year, but the previous year as well.
"The F&I Highlights section reveals key performance indicators all RV and marine dealers should keep a close eye on, such as the penetration levels for finance and all ancillary products sold. With the introduction of the F&I Profitability Index, dealers now can easily determine the performance of their F&I department(s). The index is simply the combined total of the penetration levels of each product sold and the finance penetration.
"The RECT section not only provides the national averages and the impact of two main bottlenecks (warranty coverage and out-of-stock parts) on cycle times but also provides this information at a regional level.
"These monthly insights are based on actual transactions at hundreds of dealerships across the nation utilizing IDS software, not survey data. This allows us to get these insights to dealers quickly, as they are available within days of the month's end."
Each month, the IDS Report shares:
- The impact "out of stock" parts and "warranty coverage" have on repair cycles
- Historical data to spot trends and aid forecasting
- Top Work Orders for each service bottleneck
- RECT time of dealership's top brands
- Delivery (or lead) times of top vendors
- Average RECT by Service Advisor
- Unit sales vs. the previous year
- F&I insights

At the end of the day, it all comes down to price. That is why Pat Chung prefers lab-grown diamonds. The 36-year-old Hongkonger says they are much cheaper than a natural diamond for the same quality and size and they are easier to source. “I searched for the exact colour, size and shape that I wanted and sent it to my jeweller,” Chung says, adding that more people are opting for lab-grown diamonds compared to a decade ago.

I grew up eating bowls of Chinese migration history. You?
The dining table disappeared beneath a lavish procession of dishes. Our family took food seriously. It was sacred, even. Dinner was never merely about eating. It was the one time each day when everyone was expected to gather, regardless of schedules, moods or whatever else the world demanded outside that room. At the centre sat the pièce de résistance: a whole steamed fish, usually sea bass, topped with ribbons of ginger and spring onion in a fragrant pool of oil and soy sauce. Alongside it were...
How China’s macabre practice of human sacrifice in burials came to an end

A new study from Egypt has brought this practice back into the news. At the ancient royal cemetery of Abydos, archaeologists re-examined the skulls of people buried around the tombs of...
