Dealer floor plan software for every floored car, its balance and its next curtailment
Floor plan software for car dealers that keeps your own record of every line, every floored car, what you have paid and the next curtailment due. It is not lender software: it does not connect to a lender, accrue interest or send a payment.
Who does what
Every floored car. Every balance. Every due date.
Tracks what you record
Lines, advances, funded dates, curtailments, payments and payoffs, entered by your team. There is no connection to the lender.
Staff · you enter itFlags the due dates
A curtailment due within a week, or overdue, is named to owners and managers each morning. Ask, and the assistant prepares a reminder task for you to approve.
AI · you approveRecords the payoff on sale
Marking the deal or the car sold records a payoff for the remaining principal and closes its curtailments. It runs for every floored car, with no switch.
System · alwaysLeaves the money to you
Interest comes from your lender statement, and payments go to the lender through your usual channel.
Outside the app
What you get
Floor plan management software for car dealers, inside your DMS
Every floored car has a balance, a due date and a lender waiting to be paid. Here they sit in the same system as the car, the deal and the books: you set up each line, put a car on it when the lender funds it and record what you pay, and the system builds the curtailment schedule and records the payoff when the car sells. It is the dealership’s own record, not software for lenders, and nothing in it is sent to a lender.
Know what you owe
See how many cars are floored and the total outstanding across your lines, worked out from the advances and payments you recorded. Each car’s own card shows its starting and current balance.
See what is due next
The Floor plan page lists every curtailment due in the next 30 days and marks the overdue ones, from a schedule built off each line’s term and curtailment percentage.
Watch the cars that sit
Aging buckets count your floored cars by days on the line, and the 90+ days count carries a warning once it is above zero. Ask the assistant which cars they are.

English transcript
Floor plan financing funds inventory held for sale. Each financed vehicle carries a balance and payment obligations, so tracking time, curtailments, and payoff records helps the dealership understand the financing attached to its stock.
Financed inventory carries more than an asking price. AutoDealer's Floor plan workspace brings the active vehicles, outstanding balances, and approaching curtailments together, helping your team review the financing position alongside the stock it supports before deciding what needs attention.
The overview shows how many vehicles are floored and the amount outstanding. Aging buckets group that stock by time, giving the figures a practical shape. Use this view to identify where inventory and financing need a closer look together.
Upcoming curtailments puts the next thirty days of scheduled obligations in one place. Review the due dates and related vehicles, then use the lines of credit section to see the providers and facilities behind those recorded balances and upcoming commitments.
The system records financing payments and vehicle payoff information. If optional payoff recording on sale is enabled, the sale creates that payoff record. It does not transfer money to the lender, so the recorded position and the actual payment remain separate responsibilities.
You can ask the AI assistant to summarize floor plan lines, balances, and upcoming curtailments. Use that recorded context to decide what needs attention.
The details
Set up each floor plan line: lender, credit limit, APR, term and curtailment percentage
Add line asks for a provider, a nickname, the credit limit, the APR, the term in days and the curtailment percentage. Add a line for each agreement you have, and the totals on the Floor plan page count them all.
- The provider comes from a built-in directory. If your lender is not in it, pick the closest one and put the lender’s name in the nickname.
- The APR is one fixed rate, kept for reference. Nothing works out interest from it.
- Only owners and admin managers can add a line.
A floor plan curtailment schedule for every car
Put a car on a line from its Floor plan card, with the starting balance and the day the lender funded it. The schedule is built at once: the line’s curtailment percentage of the starting balance every 30 days from the day you attach the car, and whatever is left due at the end of the term.
- The car needs its cost entered first. A consigned car cannot be floored, and a car is on one line at a time.
- You are asked to confirm an advance above the car’s cost, or one that would take the line past its credit limit.
- The 30 day interval is fixed and cannot be changed to match another schedule.
Record curtailment, interest and principal payments
Record payment on the car’s Floor plan card takes three types: Curtailment, Interest and Principal. Each one splits the amount into principal and interest, and only the principal lowers the balance. The form opens with the next curtailment already filled in.
- A curtailment is marked paid only when the principal covers it. A short payment lowers the balance and leaves the curtailment due.
- Extra principal comes off the last amount due, so the schedule still adds up to what you owe.
- Owners and admin managers can void a payment with a reason. The principal goes back on and the curtailment reopens.
- A double click or a retry never records the same payment twice.
Floor plan payoff when the car sells
Marking the deal or the car sold records a payoff for the car’s remaining principal and closes its open curtailments. It happens for every floored car, and there is no switch to turn it off. Pay off on the car’s card does the same at any time.
- The payoff is principal only. Record the final interest as an Interest payment before the car is marked sold.
- It is a record, not a payment. You pay the lender through your usual channel.
- Unwinding a sale leaves the payoff in place. An owner or admin manager can void it to put the car back on the line.
Aging, books and answers
Floor plan aging: how many cars are past 90 days
The Floor plan page counts your floored cars, the total outstanding and the cars at 90 days or more on the line, with a warning when that count is above zero. Aging buckets split the floored cars into 0 to 30, 30 to 60, 60 to 90 and 90 or more days, counted from the day each one was attached.
- Every Monday morning, owners and admin managers get a list of each car 90 days or more on its line, oldest first, with what is still owed.
- Reports, Financial shows the floor plan total and the dollars past 90 days.
- Each car’s card shows its days in floor. Recompute days on the Floor plan page refreshes that figure.
Accounting for floor plan financing: every advance and payment posts to your books
Each advance posts to Books as a Floor plan advance, dated the day the lender funded the car rather than the day it was entered. Each payment posts as a Floor plan payment, with the interest as an expense and the principal against what you owe the lender. A void posts a reversing entry.
- When you add a car the lender paid for, choose A floor plan line under Paid with, so the books do not show cash leaving your bank.
- With QuickBooks Online connected, the same entries are posted there.
- Every attach, payment, void and payoff is written to the audit log with who did it.
Ask the assistant what is due and how much room is left on a line
Ask which curtailments are due this week, how much room is left on a line or how long a car has been floored. The assistant reads the same lines, schedules and payments as the Floor plan page, and its answer lists its sources.
- Each morning it tells owners and admin managers about any curtailment due within a week, and again if one goes overdue.
- Ask for a reminder task and it prepares a card for you to approve.
- It never records a payment or a payoff. Those stay on the car’s Floor plan card.
Estimate floor plan interest with the free calculator
The software does not work out interest, because your lender’s statement is the figure that counts. To estimate what a car costs to keep on the line before you floor it, the free calculator works out daily interest and carrying cost from the amount, the APR and the days.
Floor plan keeps your own record of what you owe. It has no connection to any lender, does not accrue interest and never sends a payment or a payoff. Interest is what you enter from the lender statement, and that statement stays the record you settle against.

Questions
Dealer floor plan software FAQ
Is this software for floor plan lenders?
No. It is the dealership’s own record of what it owes: its lines, the cars on them, what has been paid and what is due next. A lender does not use it or see it, and nothing in it is sent to a lender. Your lender’s statement stays the record you settle against.
Does it connect to my floor plan lender?
No. There is no connection to any lender’s system. You set up your lines and enter your payments yourself, and the app does not pull balances or statements from a lender. The provider list is a fixed directory: if your lender is not in it, pick the closest one and put the lender’s name in the line’s nickname.
How to set up a floor plan lineDoes it accrue interest like a lender’s flooring statement?
No. The APR on a line is kept for reference, and nothing accrues day by day. When you record a payment, enter the interest from the lender statement as its own part of the payment. Interest never lowers the balance; only principal does. To estimate interest before you floor a car, try the free calculator.
Dealer floor plan calculatorHow does it know what is due and when?
A curtailment is a principal payment your lender expects while a car stays on the line. When you attach a car, the schedule is built from the line: its curtailment percentage of the starting balance every 30 days from the day you attach it, with whatever is left due at the end of the term. The 30 day interval is fixed, so a lender on another rhythm will not match it. The Floor plan page lists the curtailments due in the next 30 days and marks the overdue ones.
What happens to the floor plan when a car sells, and does it stop a car being sold out of trust?
Marking the deal or the car sold records a payoff for the remaining principal and closes its open curtailments, for every floored car, with no switch to turn it off. It is a record, not a payment, and the payoff carries no interest, so record any final interest first. A car is sold out of trust when it is sold and the lender is not paid off within the time your agreement allows. The software cannot prevent that, because it never pays the lender: pay through your usual channel and check the lender’s statement.
See how a deal is closedIs the aging report an accounting reconciliation?
No. The aging buckets count your floored cars by how long they have been on the line, from the day each one was attached, and flag the ones at 90 days or more. Reports, Financial adds the dollars behind them. It tells you which cars to move and which curtailments come first. It does not check your records against a lender’s statement.
See the floor plan in reportsCan I ask the AI assistant about my floor plan, and will it tell me before a curtailment is due?
Yes to both. Ask “what curtailments are due this week?” or “how much room is left on the line?” and it reads the same lines, schedules and payments as the Floor plan page, answers within your role and lists its sources. Each morning it also tells owners and admin managers about any curtailment due within 7 days, and again if one goes overdue, in the assistant chat and on Telegram if you connected it. It never records a payment or a payoff.
See the alertsHow do I get ready for a floor plan audit?
A floor plan audit, or floor check, is your lender confirming that each car it floored is on your lot or paid off. Before one, ask the assistant to list your floored cars with their stock numbers, balances and days on the line, and check that list against the lender’s. Each car’s Floor plan card shows its payments and its payoff, and the audit log shows who recorded each one.
Who on my team can see the floor plan?
Owners, admin managers and accounting. Salespeople cannot open the Floor plan page or a car’s Floor plan card. Owners and admin managers add lines and void payments; owners, admin managers and accounting attach cars, record payments and pay off.
