Track the lifecycle of each asset right from production to retirement with Asset records
in Automotive Cloud. You can create assets to represent the vehicles as well as the parts and
accessories that you sell to customers. Capture key details such as the related account, product,
and contact, purchase and installation dates, and quantity and price of the asset.
