Build any dealership report
by asking for it.
Type what you want to see, or upload a screenshot of a report you already use. Cassandra, the AI analyst in Novella, builds it as a live report on your own DMS data. To change it, ask again.

Ask for a report. Cassandra builds it.
Cassandra is the AI analyst inside Novella. The Dynamic Command Center is the page where the reports she builds are kept.

Ask for what you want to see
Type it in plain English or say it out loud. For example: “Build me an F&I scoreboard for this month, by store and F&I manager.” You can also upload a screenshot, a PDF or a spreadsheet of a report you already use.

Cassandra builds the report
She pulls the numbers from your DMS data and lays out charts, tables and totals, called widgets, on one page. Each widget shows the dates and stores it covers.
- 3
Change it, share it, schedule it
Ask for changes in the same chat. Share the report with your team, download it, or have it emailed on a schedule. Each time someone opens it, it runs again on the latest data.
Upload a report you already use. Get it rebuilt on your numbers.
Give Cassandra a screenshot, a PDF or a spreadsheet of any report: a 20 Group sheet, a vendor's sample, your own weekly workbook. She lists what she could and couldn't match, then builds it as a live report on your data.

It replaces the weekly spreadsheet.
Most stores build their weekly report by hand. The Dynamic Command Center sends the same report on a schedule, on current numbers.
The weekly report, built by hand
- 1Someone exports the deals from the DMS.
- 2They paste the numbers into a workbook and fix what broke.
- 3They email the file to the managers.
- 4A manager asks for it by store, and the work starts again.
The same report, from the Dynamic Command Center
- 1The report is emailed on a schedule, as a PDF.
- 2It runs on your latest DMS data.
- 3To see it by store, a manager asks Cassandra.
Estimate what a PVR lift is worth to your group.
A report that shows who is under goal gives managers something specific to coach. Set your store count, monthly volume and an F&I PVR lift to see the yearly total. This is arithmetic, not a forecast.
