Why choose TruDealer over AutoXloo?

AutoXloo is a complex, modular legacy dealership platform often burdened with high setup fees, lengthy onboarding, and separate billing for mobile and inspection add-ons. TruDealer provides an all-in-one unified system designed specifically for independent dealerships — combining offline PWA photo studio (TruLens), condition reports (TruInspect), full DMS (TruFlow), 24/7 WhatsApp AI (TruChat), and transparent month-to-month ZAR pricing with zero user-seat fees.

How does bi-directional data flow work in TruDealer?

TruDealer features real-time bi-directional data flow. Yard inspections directly update DMS deal jackets, customer leads from web widgets and WhatsApp feed instantly into sales reps' mobile apps, and finalized invoices sync bi-directionally with accounting ledgers (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage) via Codat.

What is the price difference between TruDealer and AutoXloo?

AutoXloo typically charges custom modular pricing that scales aggressively with features and user seats, often exceeding R6,000 to R12,000+ per month with steep setup fees. TruDealer starts at R1,599/month (TruStart) and R3,599/month (TruPro full DMS) with zero per-user seat penalties and month-to-month flexibility.

Unified Bi-Directional Nervous System

AutoXloo's platform relies on fragmented modules developed over decades that often require manual sync or separate logins. TruDealer was engineered as a single, modern ecosystem: a change in stock status in TruFlow immediately updates TruLens on your lot, TruInspect in your workshop, TruFlow Mobile on sales reps' phones, and your live website widgets in real time.

Built for South African Dealership Reality

South African dealerships deal with basement parking lots with zero LTE, strict Consumer Protection Act (CPA) transparency rules, and WhatsApp as the dominant customer channel. TruDealer is tailored for this reality: offline PWA capture, unshakeable timestamped condition reports with inspector e-signatures, and native WhatsApp AI that closes deals 24/7.
