Founding Story — “Why”

Dealer Board It! was founded from the depths of spreadsheets, pivot tables, and a genuine need to celebrate the sucess of others. The board-system was born out of a multi-rooftop dealer group’s obsession with live and historical data — every day, every store, every deal. After two and a half years of refining a shared and robust spreadsheet, the need for scale was evident. Dealer Board It! was built.
