exstoPlatform

The Customer Engagement Platform for automotive retail.

Customer experience, intelligence, operational domains and insight — connected around the customer and vehicle journey, rather than bolted together.

Four layers

Each layer has a distinct job.

Together they keep one customer journey connected — from the experience a customer sees to the insight a business needs.

01

Customer Experience

Glovebox · Glovebox.Studio

Glovebox is the customer ownership portal — booking, check-in, evidence, authorisation and payment. Glovebox.Studio is the dealer and OEM website and public digital-experience product.

Four operational areas. One connected journey.

Shared capability

Menu Pricing spans the domains.

Menu Pricing is not a separate layer. It is a shared capability that can support several parts of the platform at once.

Foundation

Underpinned by a shared enterprise foundation.

Every layer draws on the same data, integrations, APIs and partner connectivity — so exsto can sit within the wider automotive technology environment.

Data
One customer and vehicle record shared across the platform
Integrations
Connection into the systems retailers already use
APIs
Structured access for connected services
Partner connectivity
A route for approved partners to connect

Where the DMS sits

Built around the journey. Not around a DMS.

exsto is a Customer Engagement Platform, not a Dealer Management System.

The DMS remains an important operational source within many automotive businesses, but it does not need to define every customer interaction or every connected workflow. exsto sits across the customer journey and connects with supported DMS, OEM and partner systems through its shared Foundation.

This allows the Customer Experience, Intelligence, Domains and Insights layers to use relevant connected information while remaining independent of any single core-system provider.

The DMS is connected. exsto stays independent.

Independent
exsto is not tied to one DMS provider or one underlying technology stack.
Connected
Supported integrations make relevant DMS information available to the exsto workflows that need it.
Consistent
The customer and colleague experience can remain consistent even where underlying dealer systems differ.

The exact data, direction of connectivity and available actions depend on the DMS, APIs, agreements and deployment.

One journey, every layer

A single customer journey crosses the platform without breaking.

One example: a customer moves from vehicle enquiry, through hand-over and aftersales, into follow-up and insight — on one record.
