Comparison

Sizle vs. spreadsheets and email

Every dealer network already has a marketing operations system — a budget spreadsheet, an approvals inbox, a shared drive of receipts, and a quarter-end reconciliation ritual. The question isn't whether to have a system. It's whether the system can be seen.

What the status quo actually costs

Spreadsheets fork the moment they're emailed. Approvals live in inboxes only one person can search. Proof arrives as attachments named IMG_4021.jpg. None of it is wrong — it's just invisible: nobody can answer "what ran, what did it cost, was it approved, did we pay it" without a week of assembly. That assembly week, every quarter, is the real price.

How Sizle handles it

One record instead of four tools

Plan, approvals, evidence, and invoices attach to the campaign they belong to — the reconciliation is a byproduct, not a project.

Status instead of status meetings

Live budget and approval state for every market, brand, and dealer replaces the weekly chase.

Rules instead of tribal knowledge

Eligibility, caps, and required proof are configured once and applied identically to every claim.

History instead of archaeology

Every decision is on the record with who, when, and against what — searchable in seconds, preserved for audit.

Common questions

What is the best co-op marketing software for automotive networks?

The one built around your network's actual shape. For automotive brands, NSCs, and importers supervising dealer networks, that means multi-tenant structure, co-op and MDF budget logic, approval workflows with SLAs, proof of performance validation, and reimbursement export — the checklist Sizle was built against. Generic project tools and horizontal channel platforms cover parts of it; the gaps land back in spreadsheets.

How hard is it to move off spreadsheets?

Budgets, dealers, and program rules load at onboarding, and campaigns start on the platform from the next planning cycle — no need to reconstruct history. Most networks run their first full cycle in Sizle within a quarter.

Do dealers need training to use Sizle?

Dealers see a focused workspace — plan, submit, upload, track — not the NSC's supervision tooling. If a dealer's team can use webmail, they can run their campaigns in Sizle.
