Built to connect with the automotive ecosystem.

exsto sits within a wider ecosystem of dealership, OEM, data and technology systems. It is designed to connect relevant data, systems and workflows through supported integrations, APIs and partner connectivity.

The foundation

The layer everything else connects through.

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

Connecting exsto with the systems dealers already use.

exsto works alongside the categories of system found across automotive retail — not as a replacement for them.

Relevant exsto workflow

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

    Keyloop

    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

    Auto Trader Connect

    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

  • Payment / commercial systems

    WorldpayStripeBACS BureauPayment AssistToken.io

    Examples include payment technology connected through exstoPay.

OEM / network connectivity

Connecting manufacturer systems into the journeys retailers already use.

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

Example
  • Volkswagen
  • Audi
  • Škoda
  • SEAT
  • CUPRA

Examples only. Supported connectivity varies by deployment, not every retailer uses every integration, and exsto connects with OEM systems rather than replacing them.

APIs

APIs where systems need to work together.

APIs provide structured connectivity between exsto and supported systems — so connected information can take part in the relevant workflow.

Partner connectivity & governance

Partner connectivity, with governance built in.

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.

Connected data

Connected information, part of a wider journey.

Information from a supported source can reach the relevant exsto Domain and support customer and operational activity. Customer Insights then helps you understand one customer; exsto.Insights helps you understand the wider business.
