Deal Checklists

Every deal complete before it funds.

Voltra runs each deal through a stage-gated workflow checklist: your team claims stages, answers items, gets Manager Turnover sign-off, and flags anything missing, all in one place. Every step is timestamped and attributed. Voltra reads deal data from the systems you already run and never writes back to your DMS.

Deals that fall through the cracks cost real money

Every store has a version of the same problem. The deal jacket moves from desk to desk, someone assumes the next person checked something, and the gap doesn't surface until the bank calls or the deal comes back. At that point you are either re-working a funded deal or eating a charge-back. The problem isn't the people. It's that nobody built a gate that stopped the next step until the last one was done.

A checklist that gates each stage until the prior one is done

Voltra's checklist module is a stage-gated workflow, not a to-do list. Your team starts a checklist for a deal, then works it stage by stage. Downstream stages are locked until the upstream stage is submitted. That means nobody can skip ahead, and nobody hands off a stage they haven't actually completed.

Each stage is claimed by the person working it. They answer each item: yes, no, or n/a, with a note if needed. When they submit the stage, the next stage opens for the next person. If something needs to be corrected, they can reopen the stage and amend it. Voltra is the system of record for every step of that workflow.

Unclaimed Claimed In Progress + Flagged + MTO Sign-off

Manager Turnover sign-off, built into the workflow

Manager Turnover is a real step in the deal process, and it needs a real record. In Voltra, the manager performs the MTO sign-off directly inside the checklist. The action is timestamped and attributed to that manager. It sits in the deal's permanent history, visible to anyone with access to that deal.

No more paper forms that go missing. No more trying to remember who signed off on which deal three weeks ago. The MTO record is there when the bank asks.

Flag what is missing, track it to resolution

People catch problems at different stages. An F&I person might notice a sales-side item was answered incorrectly. In Voltra, they flag it: select the upstream item, attach a reason, and submit. The flag surfaces immediately to whoever owns that stage. They correct the item and resolve the flag. The full history of who flagged what, when, and why stays on the deal.

The deal cannot go forward until the flag is resolved

Flagging an upstream item doesn't just send a note. It holds the downstream work. The workflow doesn't proceed until the flag is cleared and the stage is re-submitted. That enforcement is what keeps deals from funding with gaps.

Every action on every deal, attributed and timestamped

You shouldn't have to ask around to find out where a deal got stuck. Open any deal in Voltra and you see the full history in order:

If a deal ever gets questioned, the record is there. If you need to tighten your process, you can see exactly where deals slow down across the floor.

Every role, every stage, scoped to what they own

Sales handles the front-end stages. F&I works their items. Billing and accounting see what has cleared their stages. Managers do the MTO sign-off. Each person sees what belongs to them, and the overall checklist is visible to anyone who needs the big picture.

Sales
Claims front-end stages, answers deal-jacket items, submits when complete.
F&I
Works F&I stages, flags upstream gaps, clears items before submission.
Manager
Performs MTO sign-off; can reopen or mark a checklist failed.
Billing / Accounting
Works back-end stages; sees full deal history before funding.

Sits on top of your DMS. Never writes back.

Voltra is additive. It reads deal data from the systems you already run and never writes back to your DMS. The checklist workflow lives entirely inside Voltra. Your DMS stays your system of record for the deal itself; Voltra is the system of record for the checklist that makes sure every deal is complete.

Once a deal clears its checklist and funds, the next step is tracking the money: see Cash-in-Transit for how Voltra manages the funding lifecycle after the deal closes.

Common questions about deal checklists

In Voltra, you start a checklist for a deal, then each team member claims their stage, answers the items (yes, no, or n/a, with notes), and submits the stage when done. Submitting a stage unlocks the downstream stages for the next person in the workflow. Every answer is timestamped and attributed to the person who entered it, so you have a full audit trail without a paper jacket.

The stage-gating in Voltra's checklist prevents anyone from skipping ahead. A downstream stage cannot be worked until the upstream stage is submitted. If something is missing, the person who found it flags the item with a reason, and that flag is visible to whoever owns the upstream stage. Nothing reaches the funding desk with a gap unresolved.

Voltra has a dedicated Manager Turnover (MTO) action in the checklist workflow. The manager performs the MTO sign-off directly in Voltra, which timestamps the action and records who completed it. It becomes part of the deal's permanent audit history, not a handwritten signature on a paper that ends up in a drawer.

When someone finds a problem with an upstream stage, they flag the item and attach a reason explaining what is missing or wrong. That flag surfaces to whoever owns the upstream stage, who can then correct it and resolve the flag. The full history of who flagged it, when, why, and when it was resolved stays on the deal.

Every action in Voltra's checklist is timestamped and attributed: who claimed the stage, who answered each item, who submitted, who flagged, who resolved, who did the MTO sign-off. You can look at any deal and see exactly what happened, in order, with names and times. No more asking around to find out where a deal got stuck.

No. Voltra is additive. It reads deal data from the systems you already run and never writes back to your DMS. Your DMS stays your system of record for the deal itself; Voltra is where your team runs the checklist workflow, and for that workflow, Voltra is the system of record.

Sales, F&I, billing, and accounting all work from the same checklist, each scoped to their stage and role. Sales claims the front-end stages. F&I works their items. Managers do the MTO sign-off. Billing and accounting see what has cleared their stage. Everyone sees the same deal, in real time, without calling each other to find out where it stands.
