Cutting edge automotive retail solutions from iVendi have helped deliver £2.1 billion of sales for dealers and a range of other partners.

At iVendi, we are not afraid to claim that the effects of our technology on your business can be transformational.

More than 8,000 dealers across the UK and Europe will attest to the impact of our solutions on their ability to provide a consumer journey that meets and exceeds the expectations of 2023’s buyers. Whether in the showroom or online, we help to make every stage of the buying process faster, easier and more compliant, transforming more leads into customers and building profitability in a highly compliant environment.

Darren Sinclair, CCO at iVendi, said: “Our award-winning technology brings the online and showroom worlds together, giving customers the same quality of experience no matter how they decide to buy. For example, they could start the vehicle purchasing journey digitally but ultimately choose to complete the transaction in the showroom. Conversely, they could see a vehicle on the forecourt, stop to look but then choose their motor finance solution and close the sale online.

“It’s all designed to reflect how cars are bought in the real world, letting the customer follow the path-to-purchase that suits them, with technology creating a seamless experience throughout.”

iVendi’s retail solutions for dealers are centred around two products. Convert captures valuable online traffic, keeping users on your website for longer and progressing potential buyers further down the sales funnel, while Transact is a comprehensive solution that transforms the vehicle buying journey by seamlessly integrating online and showroom sales into a unified and effortless experience.

Darren said: “It’s all about using technology to empower the customer to make decisions that meet their needs as exactly as possible, from identifying the right vehicle to finding the most suitable finance solution. That’s why we’ve invested heavily in upgrading every aspect of our finance journey to drive compliant processes in line with the new Consumer Duty regulations which are designed to put customer needs first."

“Even when your dealership isn’t open, we provide everything buyers need to start and finish their journey online or, once your doors are open, to continue along that same pathway without interruption in person. It’s a genuine omnichannel approach – and one that our dealers can attest changes browsers into buyers.”

The iVendi Guarantee

The iVendi Guarantee is built on seven foundational principles - security, support, compliance, insight, service, training and testing.

Darren, said: “Our platform has huge scope, with more than five million unique users every month and the capacity to generate over 100 billion quotes. We know that ensuring the highest levels of system availability, support, and data security is essential for our dealer customers and provides the core confidence upon which our relationship is built.

“The iVendi Guarantee is our way of underlining for clients that we understand the key role that our systems play for their business, and that we take that responsibility very seriously. We work hard to ensure that our platform is as productive, compliant and robust as possible, and when issues sometimes occur, we ensure they are resolved quickly and without fuss.”

Building connections

At iVendi, your success is paramount. Our product support and account management teams, as well as extensive training designed to get the most benefit from our innovative solutions, will help to empower your online and showroom success.

Darren, said: “We’re very much a business that is based on creating genuine partnerships. Our success is built on collaborating closely with dealers, aligning our expertise with each business’s unique vision and goals, and helping you to achieve them.

“At iVendi, we're not just about technology - we're about people, relationships, and mutual growth.”
