Dealership service lane
Service lane operations for dealerships.
Every vehicle request becomes a ticket with a request, a status, an owner, timestamps, completion, and history.
Cephron is service-lane and sales vehicle-movement software. It complements the DMS, the scheduler, and the CRM.
Not a DMS, CRM, or consumer app, and not a lot-location product.

The problem
The lane still runs on side channels.
A pickup has to move from the advisor to the dispatcher, keys, the valet, the wash, and the customer. Today that path is radios, texts, group chats, calls, and clipboards.
Radios and calls
Status is spoken once, then it is gone. The next desk still has to ask where the vehicle is.
Texts and group chats
The thread is not the ticket. The request, the owner, and the time get buried between messages.
Clipboards
Wash logs and loaner notes sit on paper, away from the rest of the lane.
The desks
One board for every desk.
Each desk works the part of the ticket it owns. The same request, status, owner, and history stay attached as the vehicle moves.
Service advisor
Creates and stages pickups, sets Customer Expected, and sees wash and pickup status.
Dispatcher
One board of Upcoming, Active, and Waiting for customer. Moves every ticket to complete, in the order it was received.
Key machine
Pulls keys and hands the vehicle off to the valet.
Loan car
Handles loaner returns and customer arrived, and enrolls Guest Wash.
Car wash
Logs washes by service tag, replacing the paper clipboard, and keeps wash history.
Guest wash
Moves a wash from enrolled, to ready at the front, to collected.
Wallboard
Read-only TV view of the service floor.
Sales manager / sales driver
Vehicle requests move from REQUESTED to ON THE WAY to COMPLETE. Salespeople get SMS status updates without installing the app.
Store setup / owner
Roster, roles, invitations, and readiness.
The ticket
How a ticket moves.
Every step is timestamped and has an owner, from the first stage through complete.
- 01
Advisor creates or stages
The pickup is a ticket. Customer Expected is set when the advisor has it.
- 02
Dispatcher activates
The ticket joins the board in the order it was received.
- 03
Keys in machine
The key machine pulls the keys for that vehicle.
- 04
Keys with valet
The vehicle is handed off to the valet.
- 05
Waiting for customer
The car is ready and waiting.
- 06
Complete
The ticket closes. The timestamp and the owner stay on the history.

Text updates
Guest and staff updates by text.
Cephron can send opt-in operational text updates. The message is about the vehicle in motion, not a marketing campaign.
Staff status texts are live
Salespeople get SMS status updates for REQUESTED, ON THE WAY, and COMPLETE without installing the app.
Customer visit texts are limited
Customer visit texts are consent-based and only where that program is enabled. They are not live at every store.

The floor
Built for the floor.
Fewer radio calls and walk-ups. One shared board. Clear ownership on every handoff.
Desktop, phone, and wallboard TV
The dispatcher runs the board on a desktop. The same lane works on a phone. The wallboard is a read-only TV view of the service floor.
Role-based access
Each desk sees the work for that role. Access follows the role, not a shared login.
Store-scoped data
A store works its own lane. Operational data stays scoped to that store.
Timestamped history
Each handoff records when it happened and who owned it, so a delay can be diagnosed after the fact.
