In evaluating all of the operations within a given automobile dealership, Urban Science provides several products that assess the performance and opportunity in different departments and activities. Given the current status of the automotive industry in struggling to maintain dealer profitability, products that give dealers insight into their operations have become more vital.

The Automobile Dealership Dashboard was created to provide this key information in a very effective and timely manner. This is important given the limited amount of time dealer management has to make decisions regarding this information.

The dashboard uses various charts, graphs, gauges, and data tables to display important information to not only specific automobile dealerships, but also to Original Equipment Manufacturers such as Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors.

Urban Science has developed several products that provide information on specific departments throughout an automobile dealership. The dashboard application acts as a portal by linking to these products via the Web to give users more information on what they are specifically looking for.

Usability and flexibility are two important factors in designing dashboard applications, which is why users of the Automobile Dealership Dashboard have the ability to customize pages to display the information they are interested in the most.

This dashboard application was developed using C# and XAML along with a SQL Server 2005 database.
