Answers before you have to ask.
Our onboarding is designed to be fast and predictable. Most dealerships become fully operational within 1–2 weeks, followed by a 2–6-week review and fine-tuning phase at your own pace. You decide how quickly you want to move — we adapt to your schedule.
Yes, onboarding is a one-time fee, calculated based on your vehicle count (see the calculator on the pricing page). It covers data preparation and import, system configuration, staging environment setup, team onboarding, go-live assistance and early support during the stabilization phase. No hidden fees — everything is transparent upfront.
Only the essentials: your vehicle stock (current and optional legacy), your dealership documents (contracts, templates) and any incoming vehicles you already know about. We provide a structured template and a secure upload link.
No. Every dealer uses different formats, and that is normal. Just send us your data as it is — we handle the cleanup, normalization and formatting. This is part of our onboarding service and included in the fee.
Immediately after the onboarding payment is confirmed, your team gets access to the staging environment — long before going live.
There is no pressure and no rush. You decide when you are ready. We continue adjusting, answering questions and supporting you until you approve the system for production.
Full support throughout: WhatsApp (fastest response), phone and email support, onboarding guidance, training materials, videos and manuals, support during the first operational days and optional influence and VIP support packages.
