Quoting platform · Vehicle sourcing · Australia

Dealerships quote. You compare.

Put one quote request to a panel of dealerships, hold them to a deadline counted in their own business hours, and compare what comes back on the same terms. When a deal is lost, the reason is on the record.

In final testing now, opening first in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. Register your interest and somebody will be in touch.

I buy cars for clients I am a finance or mortgage broker, or an accountant I run a dealership

Or just leave an address and we will write when there is more to see.

What it looks like

What a dealership seesEach request: the car, the trade-in, the customer's suburb and distance, and when it is needed.

What comes backItemised quotes side by side on changeover. No dealership sees another's price, or that anyone else was asked.

What the customer getsTheir own page, the soonest and the lowest marked, and no dealership named until they pick one.

Real screens, with made-up companies and made-up customers. Fee amounts are never shown.

What it does today

Takes the quote request: Vehicle, trade-in, finance and delivery, once, in the customer's words.
Invites a panel: By franchise, preference and distance. Sealed: no dealership sees another's price, or that anyone else was asked.
Counts the clock: Each deadline in that dealership's own business hours, timezone and state public holidays.
Compares like for like: Itemised quotes side by side, on changeover, with versions and alternative stock.
Says why you lost: Price, distance, availability or specification, worked out rather than typed.

The brief

One form, filled once, and the same screen corrects it later
The car picked from a catalogue: model, then grade, then engine
Drafts saved as you type, so a dropped call loses nothing
Several trade-ins on one request, each its own row
Duplicate it for the second car, carrying what you negotiated
Warns when the same person was quoted in the last 60 days

Enquiries from your own site

Several forms, each with its own address and a paste-in snippet
A short one, and a long stepped one that saves their progress
Answers carry into the quote without being retyped
A public address from the day the account is made

The panel

Ranked by franchise, by who can be reached there, and by distance
Head offices removed, because they hold no stock to sell
Capped, three by default, and the cap is yours to set
Sealed: nobody sees another price, or that anyone else was asked
A dealership not yet here is invited, and the brief waits for them

Deadlines

Counted in that dealership's own business hours and timezone
Their state's public holidays, not yours
One automatic chase at 48 hours, and never a second
Skipped where a colleague there has already answered
You are told once when every dealership has gone quiet

Quotes back

Itemised, side by side, compared on changeover
An alternative vehicle offered alongside the one you asked for
Revisions kept beside the first answer rather than replacing it
Their own quote PDF dropped in and the figures read out of it
Why you lost: price, distance, availability or specification

Trade-ins

A second, blind competition among wholesalers and trade buyers
One figure per car, with conditions and a date it stands until
Each buyer's own honour period, 14 days at the least
The customer photographs their own car from a link, no account
Says when the new car will land after the figure has expired

Test drives

Any franchised dealership for that make, inside a radius they set
The dealership confirms a time; moves and cancellations recorded
Who did not turn up, and which licence the driver holds
Afterwards the customer says how it went, the dealership separately
A customer can ask for one themselves, without being offered it

The customer's own page

Three real offers: the cheapest, the soonest, the next cheapest
Prices hidden until they press, and every reveal counted
Watermarked with their name, and no dealership named until they pick
Held for your own number of business days, with a warning before
A tracking link with no sign-in, carrying no price or fee

Paperwork and signing

Documents reach the customer here, and come back signed
A signature bound to a hash of the exact file they opened
Refused if they never opened it, and final once made
A corrected contract replaces one nobody has signed yet
Who opened whose papers, written down against their business

Email and text

Threaded on the lead, the quote, the deal and the customer
Sent from your own mailbox and your own SMS number, never ours
Templates, and automations that fire from the record itself
Consent kept separately for email and for text, never pre-ticked
One press unsubscribes from both, with no sign-in
A mail scanner cannot answer a survey or unsubscribe anybody

Fees and invoicing

Your own rate card: seven bands by price, plus a trade-in fee
Versioned, so a fee cannot move under a dealership that agreed it
Agreed before any quote or valuation can come back to you
Cut for one deal, with a reason, and the cut is on the record
A tax invoice to the dealership, your numbering and your terms

Running it

Boards or lists for leads, quotes and deals, however you work
Eight reports to begin with, your own dashboards, a discount index
Every list exports to a spreadsheet, columns and filters as shown
Twelve permissions an owner hands out one at a time
Twelve regulated acts across nine jurisdictions, held in the database

What differs by who you are

Licensed, so the full set: you can price, counter and decide.

Negotiate, counter and set the figure: Adjust a price, make an offer, choose the winning quote and stand as a party to the sale. These are the acts a licence is for.
The trade-in goes to whoever wants it: Put it to the dealerships that buy, keep each valuation with the quote it came from, and hold it for as long as that business honours it.
The introduction is on the record: Who introduced the customer, to which dealership, and when, including when a test drive got there before the quote did.
Paperwork goes out and comes back signed: Documents reach the customer through the platform, they review and sign there, and a signed document can never be quietly edited.
One page, with your name on it: The quotes side by side on changeover, the soonest and the lowest marked, no dealership named until they pick one, and the whole thing under your logo, your name and your licence number as your state words it.
Book the test drive, not just the quote: Put it to the dealership, they confirm a time, and it runs as its own thread beside the quote: moved, called off, a no-show recorded against whoever missed it, and the customer asked afterwards how it went. Customers can ask for one themselves.

The catalogue

3,653: dealerships in the directory
73: marques
538: models
1,705: engine and drivetrain choices

Counted from the catalogue as this page loaded. The directory is every franchised dealership in the country, not the ones who have signed up.

Variants are the choice a buyer actually makes. A Ranger Black Edition is a 3.0 V6 turbo diesel on full-time 4WD or a 2.0 turbo diesel on part-time 4x4, and a request that does not say which is a request three dealerships will answer differently. Taken from each manufacturer’s own configurator, in their words.

Manufacturer

The live catalogue, same as the one a request is written from. Picking here sends nothing.

Your data

Hosted in Sydney. Two-factor sign-in is required for every staff account, and every action is logged. Dealerships never see a buyer’s name, number or address, only the car, the trade-in and the delivery area.
