Car dealers & retailers

Vehicle sales are lumpy. Accessory sales keep moving.

The search for additional income for car dealerships often starts with what customers buy after the vehicle sale. A car accessories online store can keep selling useful products between vehicle deals. We build and run that channel as a separate retail operation, while you keep ownership.

Why hand this over

The Opportunity Is Clear. The Daily Work Is The Problem.

A car dealership already knows how to sell. The challenge with online sales for car dealers is the daily marketplace work, which arrives while your team is quoting, following up leads and closing vehicles.

The Forecourt Team Has A Better Job To Do

Marketplace admin pulls time away from vehicle sales.

Listings, supplier checks, buyer questions and order follow-up need attention every working day. Give that work to the floor team and it competes with enquiries and handovers. Leave it until later and the online channel falls behind.

A Second Revenue Stream Should Move Differently

Accessory demand is not tied to the next vehicle sale.

Vehicle revenue can depend on a few larger transactions. Accessories and inventory-adjacent products can sell in smaller orders throughout the month. That is the point of dealership revenue diversification. For dealers comparing F&I income alternatives, this creates a separate sales rhythm without adding marketplace admin to the forecourt.

A second channel, run separately

Build online revenue without adding a role to the floor

We set the store up as a separate automotive retail operation. The store and branding remain yours, giving you dealer brand leverage while our team handles the daily marketplace work and reports the results back to you.

  • Keep the DMS out of the workflow The store does not require your dealer management system to be rebuilt, integrated or exposed to a marketplace.
  • Choose products for online demand The range follows what customers already search for, including accessories and inventory-adjacent products. It also gives you a route for accessory upsells online after the vehicle sale.
  • Keep buyer questions off the floor Fitment, product and delivery questions are answered inside each marketplace’s response window, in your store’s voice.
  • See contribution per SKU Price, cost, shipping, fees and refunds are connected, so you can judge the margin behind the revenue stream rather than looking at turnover alone.

Where we work

Built for the platforms customers already use

Each marketplace has its own listing fields, media rules, fees and buyer habits. We adapt the products and listings to the platform instead of copying the same catalogue across all three.

Visibility

You do not run the channel. You can still see the numbers.

You already judge automotive retail on units, gross and margin. The online store is reported in the same practical way, with order flow, account health, support activity and margin movement at the cadence agreed in your plan.

Performance reporting

Reports show what changed, what needs attention and what the team is doing next.

Account health monitoring

We monitor the marketplace signals that affect seller health, including fulfilment, response times, cancellations, returns and policy issues.

A direct line to the team

Questions go to the people working on your store, rather than a general support queue.
