Domain · exsto.Sales
exsto.Sales starts with the vehicle — stock, pricing and video merchandising — and carries on through enquiry, engagement, retail activity and hand-over, inside the same connected platform as service and ownership.
The sales journey
The sales journey starts before demand arrives — with the vehicle. exsto.Sales keeps stock, content, the enquiry and the customer together, whichever route the journey takes.
Stock Master · vehicle record
Representative, not prescriptive — the stages involved depend on the vehicle, the enquiry and the retailer.

Stock Master
Stock Master brings vehicle stock and its associated information together — vehicle details, days in stock, run rate and margin — so the opportunity is visible alongside the vehicle.
Representative, fictional stock data.
Connected automotive data
Stock Master can use connected automotive data to enrich the vehicle and stock information available to sales teams.
Auto Trader Connect — Connected automotive data supporting relevant vehicle and stock information within Stock Master.
Auto Trader Connect → Explore our integration approachStock information
Stock Master can bring together vehicle information from connected data sources into a single vehicle record.

Connected manufacturer information such as recall or service campaign status can also form part of the vehicle context where supported — so the information appears where people actually work.
Representative, fictional data. Available data sources depend on the integrations and agreements in each deployment.
AutoPrice
AutoPrice is part of the vehicle pricing workflow within exsto.Sales — keeping the price of each vehicle connected to its stock context.
AutoPrice
Pricing workflow
Illustrative workflow. How pricing actions are applied depends on each retailer’s process.
Stock context
Days in stock, run rate and margin sit alongside the vehicle, so salespeople and managers understand the commercial context behind each conversation.

VIDEO1st Sales · stock video
Before an enquiry arrives, VIDEO1st Sales can be used to create stock and merchandising video for the vehicle — ready to present on the retailer’s website.
exsto.Sales and Glovebox.Studio
Glovebox.Studio powers dealer and OEM websites in the Customer Experience layer. It is a separate product with a two-way relationship: vehicle and merchandising content goes out to the website, and vehicle enquiries come back into exsto.Sales.

Enquiries · Lead Inbox
Customer sales leads from multiple sources arrive in the Lead Inbox within Enquiries — with the customer, their vehicle interest, the source and the status visible together, alongside connected customer activity.
Representative example data. Lead sources depend on the integrations in each deployment.
Purchase Intent Detection
exsto.ai can recognise genuine purchase intent within supported customer conversations and create a sales enquiry where one has not already been captured — helping reduce missed opportunities. The sales team still owns the conversation and every decision that follows.

Where enquiries come from
Sales enquiries can come from connected websites, campaigns and other integrated sources. Each one is routed to the workflow that owns it.

Connected sales record
The wider relationship is available through Customer Insights.
Conceptual connected record — fields shown are representative.
Retailing

From decision to hand-over
The enquiry does not disappear into disconnected administration once the customer decides to buy. Offers, authorisation, documents, payment activity and delivery preparation can remain connected to the same sales journey through to hand-over.

Hand-over
At hand-over the customer moves from sales activity into ownership — and the relationship continues across the wider exsto platform.

Conceptual — how ownership services are set up depends on each deployment.
Customer Insights · Shared platform capability
From the customer record, Sales users can open Customer Insights — a shared platform capability, not part of exsto.Sales — for a wider view of the relationship across exsto.
exsto.Sales and exsto.CRM
exsto.CRM runs campaigns and wider engagement. Where a campaign generates a sales lead, it flows into exsto.Sales Enquiries — not every campaign does. After the sale, the relationship can continue in exsto.CRM.

exsto.Sales and exsto.Commerce
exsto.Sales and exsto.Commerce are separate Domains that can both take part in the customer’s wider journey with the retailer, connected by the same platform.
exsto.Sales and exsto.Insights
exsto.Insights doesn’t just receive a few isolated Sales events. Connected Sales activity — from merchandising through enquiry to hand-over — can feed the wider dashboarding and reporting across the platform.
Dashboarding & reporting
Available Sales data depends on the modules and integrations in each deployment.
exsto.Insights

An individual customer view — relevant sales activity can contribute to it. A separate shared capability, not part of exsto.Insights.
