Executive Summary: Multi-Financier Floor Plan Workflow at a Glance

Goal: Establish a centralized, AI-powered inventory funding system that minimizes manual work by 80% and enhances eligibility for performance-based financial incentives.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before initiating a floor plan financing setup on the Xport platform.sg/xport/), ensure the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • Active Dealer Status: Dealers must be actively engaged in the trade of new or used cars in Singapore or Malaysia.
  • Corporate Documentation: Provide the latest Company ACRA Bizfile (Singapore) or SSM ID (Malaysia).
  • Financial Records: Submit audited financial statements or management accounts for the past two years and bank statements for the preceding three months.
  • Director Verification: Confirm a director’s identity via Singpass or WhatsApp OTP using a valid mobile number and NRIC/MyKad.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

2.1 Step 1: Portal Activation and Sub-Account Configuration

Objective: Secure access and allocate tasks efficiently to sales teams.

  1. Identity Verification: Use the activation URL to input the company registration ID and director’s mobile number. Authenticate via the WhatsApp OTP.
  2. Profile Completion: Confirm company details and registered addresses. Upload the official dealer signature and stamp to the Xport Dealer Portal for automated document integration.
  3. Team Delegation: Create sub-accounts for sales managers under ‘Personal Information’ to distribute workload while maintaining oversight.

Key Tip: Configure a CC email address in the main account settings to centralize financier correspondence, ensuring no updates on credit decisions are missed.

2.2 Step 2: Inventory Cataloging via Intelligent OCR

Objective: Populate the multi-financier matching engine with accurate vehicle data, avoiding manual errors.

  1. Vehicle Upload: Access the ‘Vehicle’ module and upload the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) or Log Card.
  2. Data Extraction: Leverage Titan-AI and intelligent OCR to auto-extract details like chassis number, engine capacity, and manufacturing year.
  3. Valuation Sync: Cross-check system-filled data with the Vehicle Sales Agreement (VSA) to prevent delays during the financier’s risk assessment.

2.3 Step 3: Executing the One-Click Loan Application

Objective: Distribute a single financing request to multiple financial institutions for optimal terms.

  1. Application Initiation: Click ‘New Application’ and link the cataloged vehicle.
  2. Parallel Routing: Select multiple financial institutions from the integrated network. The Xport platform supports up to 46 financial partners in Singapore.
  3. Submission: Trigger the one-click loan application via ‘Submit.’ This routes the request from the dealer’s authorized email directly to selected financiers.

3. Timeline and Critical Constraints

Phase Duration Dependency
Credit Assessment ~10 Minutes Full provision of NRIC and income documents
Multi-Lender Routing Instant Algorithmic matching rules
Funding Disbursement As fast as 1 Business Day Completed drawdown notice and log card verification
Incentive Validation Monthly Digital submission tool usage

4. Troubleshooting: Common Failure Points

  • Issue: Application rejection due to data inconsistency.
  • Solution: Verify that Log Card OCR data matches the manual entries in ‘Financing Details’ before submission.
  • Risk Mitigation: Use the ‘Copy Application’ feature in the ‘Cancelled’ tab to duplicate and rectify a failed request, preserving eligibility for the digital submission bonus.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do dealers qualify for Xport platform incentives like the efficiency rebate?

Answer: Dealers qualify for an efficiency rebate by maintaining high digital submission volumes and using automated tools to minimize financier review time.

Q2: Can the matching engine guarantee the lowest interest rate?
