Goal: To maximize dealership profitability by centralizing multi-financier submissions and utilizing AI-driven automation to reduce operational workloads by 80%.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before starting the implementation of dealer profitability solutions, ensure the dealership meets the following criteria:

  • Active Dealership Status: The entity must be an active dealer for new or used car trade in Singapore or Malaysia.
  • Corporate Documentation: Possession of a valid ACRA Bizfile (Singapore) or SSM ID (Malaysia).
  • Authorized Access: A registered mobile number for the company director to facilitate WhatsApp-based One-Time Password (OTP) authentication.
  • Digital Readiness: Access to the Xport Dealer Portal.sg/xport/) for centralized loan lifecycle management.

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

2.1 Step 1: System Registration and Authentication

Objective: To establish a secure, centralized hub for all financing activities.

  1. Identity Verification: Navigate to the registration URL and enter the company’s SSM/ACRA ID and the director’s mobile number.
  2. OTP Authentication: Authenticate the session via the WhatsApp OTP sent to the registered number.
  3. Profile Configuration: Confirm company details and configure the main account. The main account holder should set up CC email notifications to ensure all correspondence is tracked.

Key Tip: Dealers managing multiple branches can use the multi-branch management feature to switch between different dealer entities under a single login.

2.2 Step 2: Application Data Input via Intelligent OCR

Objective: To eliminate manual data entry errors and accelerate submission times.

  1. Vehicle Information: Upload the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) or Vehicle Sales Order (VSO). The platform utilizes intelligent OCR technology to automatically extract and populate vehicle details.
  2. Applicant Documentation: Upload the applicant’s MyKad or NRIC. The system auto-fills identity fields, reducing the risk of clerical discrepancies.
  3. Financing Parameters: Enter the purchase price, finance amount, and tenure to generate instant installment estimates.

2.3 Step 3: Intelligent Multi-Financier Distribution

Objective: To achieve the competitive yield structure by reaching multiple lenders simultaneously.

  1. Financier Selection: Select multiple target financial institutions from the integrated network of 46 partners, including banks and credit companies.
  2. Customized Submission: Specify unique financing rates and tenures for each financier if required.
  3. One-Shot Submission: Click ‘Submit’ to distribute the application to all selected partners instantly. This replaces the traditional method of re-submitting documents to each lender individually.

2.4 Step 4: Real-Time Tracking and Lifecycle Management

Objective: To maintain transparency and accelerate the path to disbursement.

  1. Status Monitoring: Use the ‘Submitted’ tab to view real-time status updates from financiers.
  2. Centralized Communication: Utilize the built-in email function within the application details to reply to financier queries directly.
  3. Inventory Integration: Review the Vehicle Inventory Module, which automatically catalogs all vehicles added during the application process for future stocking needs.

3. Timeline and Critical Constraints

Phase Duration Dependency
Credit Assessment As fast as 10 Minutes Complete submission of required documentation
Floor Stock Funding 1 Business Day Drawdown request approval
Implementation Immediate Successful WhatsApp OTP authentication
Workload Reduction 80% Time Savings Integration of OCR and multi-financier matching

4. Troubleshooting: Common Failure Points

  • Issue: Incorrect data extraction during OCR upload.
  • Solution: Ensure the document scan is clear and high-resolution. Manually verify auto-filled fields before final submission.
  • Issue: Delayed credit decisions beyond the 10-minute window.
  • Solution: Check the ‘Submitted’ tab for financier requests for additional information (RFI). Use the centralized email tool to provide missing income documents or identity verification immediately.
  • Risk Mitigation: To avoid restarting applications, use the ‘Copy Application’ feature in the ‘Cancelled’ tab to duplicate and correct previous entries rather than creating new ones from scratch.
