Dealer by Design is a Canadian software company founded in 2015, headquartered in Ontario. The team of dealership veterans built READY HUB after experiencing firsthand the operational chaos that most dealerships accept as normal — vehicles tracked on whiteboards, delivery prep managed through text messages, and reconditioning status buried in spreadsheets that only one person understands.
READY HUB is a unified workflow platform with three integrated modules. Inventory tracks every vehicle through a structured reconditioning pipeline from acquisition to frontline-ready status. Delivery coordinates sold vehicle preparation with task checklists, accessory management, and a customer-facing portal. Trade streamlines the appraisal and disclosure process with photo documentation and market data integration. The platform integrates with PBS Systems and Keyloop for DMS data feeds, KEYper Systems and 1Micro for key management, and QQuote for accessory pricing.
READY HUB solves the visibility problem that costs dealerships hundreds of thousands annually in holding costs, missed deliveries, and lost deals. Every department sees every vehicle's status in real time — no phone calls, no walking the lot, no waiting for someone to update a spreadsheet. Dealerships using READY HUB move vehicles to the frontline up to 40% faster and report 98% on-time delivery rates. Over 50 Canadian dealerships use it daily across franchise and independent operations
