Information system for managing of the car dealership network. In the modern automotive industry, the development of effective information systems for managing dealership networks aimed at optimizing business processes becomes relevant. This work aims to develop and implement such an information system for automotive companies, allowing for effective mana- gement of car sales processes, inventory management, and sales analysis. As part of the research, the current state of the automotive industry was analyzed to identify the main management problems and determine business needs. Based on this analysis, an information system concept was developed, considering the specificity of the automotive business and current industry trends.

The already existing systems were considered. These systems are mainly oriented towards retail trade and do not provide possibilities for analysis, accounting, and other functions. Possible competitors include various Ukrainian products such as Skyservice and Minisoft. Programs such as AutoSoft (Netherlands) and CDK (USA), developed by foreign specialists, were also reviewed.

This work examines different sales analysis algorithms that can be applied in car dealer- ship networks, namely ABC analysis and XYZ analysis.

ABC analysis is particularly useful for car dealership networks in managing car inven- tories and strategic sales planning. The main areas of application include inventory manage- ment, strategic sales planning, and optimization of marketing efforts.

XYZ analysis is a method of classifying elements according to their behavior or characteristics. This method of analysis is used in the following areas of the system: car inventory management, demand forecasting, and marketing optimization.

In addition to the analysis of various economic analysis methods and existing tools for managing the information system, this paper also provides a brief overview of the technologies by which such a system can be implemented. Moreover, using IDEF diagrams and their decomposition, the full architecture of this software was developed.
