Switching from Autrado to AutoPult: Outgrowing the B2B Marketplace
Autrado has helped you with vehicle purchasing – but for the rest of your daily dealership operations, you rely on Excel, separate tools, and manual processes? It’s time for a complete Dealer Management System. Switching to AutoPult doesn’t mean you have to give up Autrado – you simply get everything that’s been missing.
Why Dealers Outgrow Autrado
Autrado is a B2B marketplace for vehicle purchasing. That’s useful, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle in the dealership business. Without a DMS, dealers work with data silos: vehicle data in Autrado, customer data in Excel, invoices in accounting software – nothing is connected. AutoPult brings everything together in one platform.
- No Sales Management: Autrado helps with purchasing but not with sales. Listings and customer inquiries have to be managed elsewhere.
- No Invoicing: GoBD-compliant invoices with correct margin taxation? Not available in Autrado.
- No CRM: Customer inquiries, follow-ups, and sales opportunities are not systematically tracked. Leads get lost.
- Data Silos: Vehicle data here, customer data there, invoices somewhere else – nothing is connected.
- No Overall Overview: Without a centralized system, you lack visibility into inventory, margins, and business performance.
