What It Is

auto·rechnung is invoice software aimed at used car dealers. Its official site describes it as being for Gebrauchtwagenhandel, or used car trading, and says it can handle vehicle sales invoices, service invoices, purchase invoices, and Fahrzeugbestand, or vehicle inventory management. Based on the available text, it looks more like a vertical SaaS product for the German auto-dealer niche than a general-purpose accounting tool.

Core Features and Integrations

Its core modules include vehicle sales invoices, service invoices, and purchase invoices. It also supports getrennten Nummernkreisen, meaning separate numbering ranges for different invoice types, which is important for financial filing and audits. The system also includes vehicle inventory management and a Dashboard. On the integration side, mobile.de-Import is explicitly mentioned, indicating that data can be imported from mobile.de, Germany’s mainstream vehicle marketplace. It also includes VIES-Prüfung, which can be used to validate EU VAT numbers and is useful for dealers involved in EU cross-border transactions.

Compliance, Security, and Deployment

The text explicitly states GoBD-konform, meaning the product emphasizes compliance with Germany’s GoBD requirements for electronic bookkeeping and retention of business records. This is an important selling point for the German market. However, the available content does not disclose details on data storage, security encryption, backups, GDPR, permission controls, audit logs, or similar topics. It also does not clarify whether the product is a pure cloud SaaS or can be self-hosted.

Pricing and Ease of Use

The current text does not provide information on plans, pricing, free trials, or payment methods, so its value for money cannot be assessed. The page includes “Anmelden” and “Dashboard,” suggesting that there is at least a logged-in backend and that the product may be used online. The feature names are built directly around everyday dealer workflows, so in theory the learning curve should not be too steep, but there is a lack of screenshots, workflow explanations, and help documentation.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths are its highly vertical positioning, coverage of used car sales, purchase and service invoices, inventory management, plus built-in mobile.de import, VIES validation, and GoBD compliance. The downside is the lack of public information: pricing, collaboration permissions, API availability, customer support, and security details are not disclosed. It is better suited to small used car dealers operating in Germany or the EU that need compliant invoicing and inventory management. It is not especially suitable as a direct replacement for a local Chinese tax and accounting system.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from China is unknown, and the product is clearly centered on German market rules and the German-language environment. Chinese users would also need to consider network availability, euro/overseas payments, tax-system differences, and local invoice compliance. For businesses operating in China, Kingdee, Yonyou, Chanjet, or local automotive dealership management systems may be better first options.
