Auto Trader’s stock management tool, Dealer Edit, will be available online from autumn, following a phased rollout.

Over 9,000 UK dealers use Dealer Edit and will be using the latest incarnation to display their stock on their own Auto Trader hosted website.

Each car uploaded onto the Dealer Edit system can be supported with up to nine pictures and prefilled model information from CAP.

The new Dealer Edit online version has been developed following dealer’s comments and Auto Trader’s insight, to create a system which has new features and changes whilst retaining its ease of use. Dealer Edit offers free ongoing support and each Dealer Edit 4 user or new user will be upgraded to the new online version, free of charge.

Samantha Hay, trade marketing manager at Auto Trade’s parent company Trader Media Group, said: "Our research on Dealer Edit online and resulting dealer feedback has enabled us to incorporate new functionality that puts Dealer Edit at the heart of dealers’ day to day activities.

“We have made a significant investment in developing this state-of-the-art software and early trials demonstrate it is being well received by dealers."
