Desking

Desking is the process of structuring and presenting a vehicle deal to a customer — including price, trade-in value, financing terms, and F&I products.

Desking refers to the process of structuring a vehicle deal at the sales desk — working out the numbers on price, trade-in allowance, financing terms, monthly payment, and F&I product inclusion. The "desk" refers to both the physical desk where managers work deals and the software tools used to calculate and present payment options to customers. Desking software helps managers structure deals quickly and present multiple payment scenarios. It's at the desking stage that most pricing overrides happen — when a manager approves a price change to close the deal. This is the exact moment DealerInt captures override data.
