exsto
The foundation
Four components make up the shared technical foundation beneath the exsto platform.
Data
Information available to connected platform workflows.
Integrations
Connections between exsto and supported external automotive systems.
APIs
Structured connectivity for supported systems and use cases.
Partner connectivity
Technology partner connections into the wider exsto ecosystem.
The automotive ecosystem
exsto works alongside the categories of system found across automotive retail — not as a replacement for them.
exsto Foundation
DMS / dealership systems
Supported DMS integrations can make relevant information available across connected exsto workflows. exsto is DMS-agnostic: it connects with the DMS rather than being defined by it, and never replaces it.
Supported systems, data and direction of connectivity vary by DMS and deployment.
OEM / network systems
Supported connectivity can form part of larger programmes where multiple sites or organisations need to work within connected journeys.
OEM programmes · National networks · Dealer groups · Participating retailers
Data / technology systems
Vehicle data, communication, payment and technology systems can connect where supported, so their information takes part in the relevant workflow.
Connectivity depends on the systems, APIs and agreements available within each deployment.
Examples from the connected ecosystem
DMS / dealership systems
Supported connectivity with Keyloop DMS environments allows relevant dealership information to participate in connected exsto workflows.
Supported systems, data and direction of connectivity vary by DMS and deployment.
Vehicle / automotive data
Automotive data from connected services such as Auto Trader Connect can contribute to the vehicle and stock information used within Stock Master.
Auto Trader Connect → exsto.Sales → Stock Master
See how this supports Stock Master →Payment / commercial systems
Examples include payment technology connected through exstoPay.
See exsto.Commerce →OEM / network connectivity
exsto can connect with supported manufacturer systems and services so OEM information becomes part of the relevant retailer workflow — across sales, service, pricing, booking and vehicle activity.
Volkswagen Group
ExampleExamples only. Supported connectivity varies by deployment, not every retailer uses every integration, and exsto connects with OEM systems rather than replacing them.
APIs
APIs provide structured connectivity between exsto and supported systems — so connected information can take part in the relevant workflow.
Partner connectivity & governance
eDynamix works with technology providers through a structured partner framework, so integrations can be scoped, developed, tested and governed appropriately before becoming part of the connected ecosystem.
