InterCloud

Dealers & Automotive Groups

Vehicle sales, parts and branch accounts
kept in one platform

Dealers and automotive groups sell vehicles, parts and service through many branches, often for several brands and legal entities. InterCloud implements and operates the dealer management, finance and HR platform, the websites and the monitoring that give owners the result of each branch and give customers one consistent record wherever they are served.

Challenges

Challenges in Automotive

  • High-value stock in many branches

    Vehicles and parts are held across showrooms, yards and stores. Each unit that cannot be located or has aged in stock carries a financing cost.

  • Sales, after-sales and accounting apart

    Showroom sales, parts counters, service and accounting often use separate systems. Customer and vehicle history is incomplete in each of them, and figures are reconciled by hand.

  • Several brands and companies

    A group operates branches for different brands under different legal entities. Owners require results by branch and by brand together with consolidated accounts.

  • Customer relationships over many years

    A customer returns for service, parts and the next vehicle over many years. Follow-up depends on a complete record of contacts, purchases and commitments.

How We Help

Know the Result of Every Branch and Brand

Our Approach

One Customer and Stock Record Across Branches

Every branch works in the same platform with its own stock and approvals. A customer, a vehicle and a part are recorded once and are visible to the branches that are authorized to see them.

Transactions between group companies are recorded on both sides, and results are reported by branch, brand and legal entity. Systems required by a vehicle manufacturer or a finance partner are connected through the integration hub, APIs and webhooks, with the scope agreed during the design phase.

InterCloud configures the platform to the structure of the group, migrates customers, stock and balances, trains branch teams, and remains responsible for operation and support.

  • Dealer management, CRM and finance on one platform
  • Parts inventory and purchasing across branches
  • Intercompany accounting and results by branch and brand
  • Deployment in the cloud, in a private cloud or on-premise
