The platform logic changes with your dealership model.

Vehicle information, statuses, customer actions and administration are structured around the way your dealership operates.

Mode-specific inventory

Vehicle records can use the fields, statuses and information required for local, imported or specialist stock.

Matched buyer journeys

Customers see the correct actions depending on whether a vehicle is available, incoming, sourced or awaiting reservation.

Clear availability messaging

Present current stock, estimated delivery stages and sourcing information without creating confusion.

Configured administration

Your dealership mode is reflected across inventory controls, backoffice settings and daily vehicle management.

Connected enquiry handling

Vehicle enquiries, sourcing requests and reservation interest remain connected to the correct vehicle workflow.

Consistent platform logic

Your website, inventory, enquiries and admin tools operate around the same dealership model.

Customer and dealer workflow

The same platform, with the correct journey for each vehicle.

The process adapts depending on whether the vehicle is available now or being sourced and delivered.

01

Vehicle is added

The vehicle is listed as available stock with price, images and specifications.

Import mode

The vehicle is added as incoming, sourced, auction-based or available by request.

02

Customer reviews the vehicle

The buyer sees availability, dealership details and immediate enquiry actions.

Import mode

The buyer sees sourcing context, expected timing and the correct import information.

03

Customer takes action

The customer submits an enquiry, requests a viewing or asks about finance.

Import mode

The customer requests sourcing, asks about delivery or registers reservation interest.

04

Your team manages the next step

The dealership follows up and updates the vehicle as reserved, sold or still available.

Import mode

The dealership manages sourcing, progress updates, documentation and delivery stages.

Flexible configuration

Start with the model that fits today and adapt as you grow.

Your dealership does not have to remain limited to one mode. Local and import workflows can operate together where required.

Explore the backoffice

Configured for your operation

We review how your dealership currently sells, sources and delivers vehicles before configuring the platform.

Change as the business grows

Your setup can support local stock, import activity or a combination as your dealership develops.

Managed technical service

Hosting, maintenance, platform improvements and technical support remain part of the service.

Connected stock management

Vehicle information remains connected between your public website, inventory records and admin tools.

How configuration works

A clear setup process based on your dealership.

We configure the platform around your real operation rather than asking your dealership to adapt to a generic workflow.
