Why dealers pick Vehiso
Lower headline price
Vehiso plans start at £49/month. MotorDesk starts at £79/month +VAT, so Vehiso starts at a lower price.
Customer-facing workshop included
Vehiso bundles digital job cards, vehicle health checks, online service bookings, and invoicing for customer-facing workshop work. MotorDesk's Vehicle Job Board is a reconditioning/prep tool focused on getting inventory ready to sell, not on running a customer service department.
Simpler day-to-day
MotorDesk is feature-broad, particularly on live accounting sync. Vehiso has a lighter, simpler DMS that many independent dealers find quicker to learn and work with - accounting integrations with Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent are on the way.
