Here are the new features and improvements in Autologica Sky DMS that help streamline tasks, spot opportunities, and drive better results.
Launch | AI for Entering Invoices, Notes, and Credits into the DMS
AVA Documents is now available: Autologica’s AI assistant that reads supplier invoices and vouchers and enters them into the DMS, eliminating manual entry to save time and reduce errors.
Because it’s a tool fully integrated into the DMS, it understands the needs of the administrative department and accounts for every obstacle in the task of entering expense invoices.
The goal? To stop spending time on a repetitive, tedious task, get the information into the system much faster, and reduce the errors that come with manual entry.
In this first version, you can already enter miscellaneous expense invoices, and we’re working on updates for entering parts, vehicles, and petty cash funds.
How Are You Tracking Against Your Goals?
Autologica Analytics is the Autologica Platform tool that measures, calculates, and displays the accounting, financial, and management indicators for each dealership department. Naturally, it shows each indicator’s variation against the previous month and year, always compared against its target. And here’s what’s new.
Before, you could only have one fixed target: for example, the sales goal for every month of the year is USD 3,000,000. Starting with this version, you can define variable targets that respond to sales cycles and month-to-month expectations.
| Total sales | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
| Targets before | 3,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 3,000,000 | 3,000,000 |
| Targets now | 3,000,000 | 3,500,000 | 4,500,000 | 5,000,000 |
Every figure comes with the benchmark your dealership defined.
- Each month’s result is compared against your own goal.
- Each dealership defines its targets using its own criteria.
- If you don’t define a target, the dashboard uses Autologica’s default values.
That way, results meetings start with clear data and a focus on what’s left to hit the target.
Administration
Overdue and Upcoming Amounts: More Aging Buckets, Dollars, and Excel
Analyze overdue debt without building spreadsheets outside the system.
The Overdue and Upcoming Amounts report adds an Export button, with its own options for the file. This way, you get a complete view of current accounts in Excel.
- Three additional aging buckets, set by default at 120, 180, and 365 days.
- Grouping by year, to track how the debt evolves.
- One sheet in local currency and another in dollars.
- Each voucher’s exchange rate, applied to every transaction.
With this information, you can project cash flow with data from your own portfolio. The new report replaces the Overdue Amounts report and brings everything together in a single query.
Your administration team gets more clarity to prioritize collections and plan payments.
Mexico Exclusive
New DIOT Interface
In Mexico, the DIOT is the Declaración Informativa de Operaciones con Terceros (Informative Return of Transactions with Third Parties). Starting with the new version, the DMS generates the file from your purchase vouchers.
- Groups by supplier and offsets invoices against credit memos.
- Determines the third-party type on its own: domestic, foreign, or global.
- Before generating, flags vouchers with no type of good or service.
- Uses the data you’ve already entered in the DMS, with no spreadsheets in between.
The most important part: the DIOT comes straight from the DMS purchase vouchers.
Your accounting team stops reprocessing information every month and files with more confidence.
Renault Integrations
Job Validation When Invoicing an RO
Your warranty claims travel to Renault without a hitch.
When you move to invoice the repair order, the system validates the Miscellaneous Code field on each job.
- Non-official jobs: the field must be filled in.
- Official jobs charged to Warranty or Courtesy: the field must be empty.
- The RO isn’t invoiced until the flagged jobs are corrected.
The EDR interface generates a file with repair order and invoicing data. That file is used to send warranty claims and customer invoicing to Renault.
With validation at invoicing time, errors are corrected before they reach Renault. It’s available to Renault dealerships that work with the EDR interface.
Your shop avoids rework and collects on warranties with less back-and-forth.
Nissan Integrations
QSA Report: Service Type and Charge from the Tablet
You can now change the “charged to” field even if the RO was entered from the tablet.
The QSA Report interface automates sending quality information to Nissan. It saves you from generating files by hand and helps you meet the brand’s audit deadlines.
With this improvement, the system copies the main services and determines the service type code.
- RE, if the vehicle returned to the shop for a complaint or re-entry.
- G, OI, AC, or EX, based on the main service’s interface code.
- R, M, or BP, for repair, maintenance, or body and paint.
- OTR, in any other case.
That way, the report states the correct service type and helps you meet Nissan’s audit deadlines.
Your shop records each order just once, and the report is built from that same data.
CNH Integrations
PRIM: Updated Rules for Inventory and Sales
Your parts inventory is reported to CNH under the rules the brand requires.
The PRIM interface, Parts Retail Inventory Management, sends and receives parts information with CNH. With that data, the brand can suggest the right inventory level for each dealership.
- The rules for reporting inventory data were reviewed.
- The rules for reporting sales were reviewed.
- The interface was adapted to the changes CNH requested.
- The changes apply to all CNH dealerships.
With the information aligned to what the brand requires, the inventory suggestion starts from accurate data.
