Answers to the questions we hear most often about Tiedot, vehicle data, plans, integrations, implementation and data security.

Service and purpose

What is Tiedot and who is it for?

Answers about what Tiedot does, who it suits and how the system supports a dealership's daily work.

What is Tiedot?

Tiedot is a system built for car dealerships. It brings vehicle data and the dealership's core workflows together in one environment.

It covers purchasing, vehicle appraisal, pricing, stock management, sales preparation and document handling. The larger plans add invoicing, the ledger and finance tasks.

The data gathered on a vehicle carries over from one step to the next, so nobody has to look it up again or re-enter it in several services. The features and data you get depend on the plan you choose and on what is available for that vehicle.

Who is Tiedot for?

Tiedot is designed for dealerships and other motor trade organisations that handle vehicles as part of their daily business.

It suits a single-location dealership as well as a multi-location dealer group. Typical uses include purchasing, vehicle appraisal, pricing, stock management and sales preparation.

The features you use and the scope of the system depend on your dealership's needs and the plan you choose.

Is Tiedot just a vehicle data service?

While vehicle data is an important part of Tiedot, Tiedot is a broader system for car dealerships.

Beyond checking a vehicle's data, you can use Tiedot for purchasing, appraisal, pricing, stock management, sales preparation and document handling. The larger plans add invoicing, the ledger and finance tasks.

Vehicle data is not left as a one-off check. It is put to work across the dealership's workflows.

Can Tiedot serve as a dealership's main system?

Yes. Tiedot can be the shared environment for the whole dealership, with vehicle data and the core workflows in one system.

The scope of the implementation is set by your dealership's needs and the plan you choose. Tiedot supports purchasing, appraisal, pricing, stock management, sales preparation and documents. The larger plans add invoicing and the ledger.

Tiedot can also be implemented as part of the systems your business already runs.

Why was Tiedot built?

Tiedot was built to make a dealership's daily work easier and to cut the need to look up the same data in several different places.

Data on the same vehicle is needed again and again, from purchase and appraisal through pricing and stock management to the sale. When it has to be fetched from different services and re-entered at every step, you waste time and the full picture gets harder to see.

Tiedot brings vehicle data and the dealership's workflows into one environment, so the essential data is available where it is needed.

What does a dealership gain from Tiedot?

Above all, Tiedot puts the essential vehicle data and the dealership's core workflows in one environment.

The data gathered on a vehicle supports purchasing, appraisal, pricing, stock management and sales preparation.

The data carries over from one step to the next, so you never have to rebuild the picture from separate services at every stage.

How does Tiedot reduce manual work?

Tiedot cuts the need to look up and re-enter the same vehicle data at each stage of the dealership's work.

When vehicle data, equipment, history, pricing, stock management and documents all sit in one environment, you switch between services less often and no longer have to gather the same data twice.

That helps most when a vehicle is being appraised, priced, added to stock or prepared for sale.

Vehicle data in decision-making

How does vehicle data support dealership decisions?

Vehicle data gives you the full picture of a car before you buy it, price it, add it to stock or prepare it for sale.

Why does vehicle data matter in the motor trade?

Vehicle data shapes many of a dealership's decisions. The exact model structure, equipment, service history, vehicle history and market data can all affect how you appraise and price a car, and what is worth checking before you buy it.

Tiedot brings the available vehicle data into the dealership's workflows. The point is not a one-off lookup: the same data is there when you appraise the car, price it, add it to stock and prepare it for sale.

How does Tiedot use vehicle data?

Tiedot gathers the available vehicle data into one environment, where it is used across the dealership's workflows.

Those workflows include appraisal, purchasing, pricing, stock management and sales preparation. The data available depends on the vehicle and on the plan you choose.

How does vehicle data help when you buy and price a car?

When you buy and price a car, you need to know as precisely as possible what the car is and how it compares with similar cars.

Model structure, equipment, service history, vehicle history and market data can all add essential detail to an appraisal. When that data sits in one environment, you can appraise the car as a whole without gathering it from several different services.

Why use vehicle data in a single system?

When vehicle data comes from several different services, you have to switch between systems and piece the full picture together yourself.

Tiedot brings the available vehicle data into one environment and makes it usable at every stage of the dealership's work. The data you looked at when buying the car then supports pricing, stock management and sales preparation too.

Dealer groups and integrations

Multi-location organisations and integrations

Answers about using Tiedot across several locations, user management, system integrations and the Tiedot Enterprise plan.

Is Tiedot suitable for larger dealer organisations?

Yes. Tiedot also suits dealer groups and other multi-location organisations. Vehicles from different locations can be viewed and handled in a shared Tiedot environment.

Organisation administrators manage users and permissions, so each location uses the system the way your organisation needs. The scope of the implementation is set by the plan you choose and by your organisation's needs.

Read about the Tiedot Enterprise plan

Can Tiedot be implemented across several locations?

Yes. Locations within the same organisation can share one Tiedot environment. The stock at every location, for instance, can be viewed and handled in the same system.

Organisation administrators create users, such as the salespeople at each location, and set their permissions. Everyone then works in Tiedot day to day within one shared environment.

How is Tiedot tailored to an organisation's needs?

The scope of a Tiedot implementation is planned around your organisation's needs and the plan you choose. That planning can cover locations, users and permissions, the dealership workflows you need and any system integrations.

On the Tiedot Enterprise plan, we define the content and scope of the implementation with you.

Can Tiedot be connected to a dealership's existing systems?

Yes. Tiedot can be connected to your dealership's existing systems by arrangement. How the API and system integrations are built, and how far they go, depends on the systems in use and on your needs.

Tiedot's data can also be delivered into your own systems. The data included and the way it is delivered are agreed to fit your needs.

How is an integration scoped?

Planning an integration starts with a review of your current systems, needs and goals. From there, we define the system connections needed and the scope of the work.

We plan the work with you. The technical approach depends on the systems in use and on how Tiedot, or Tiedot's data, is meant to fit into the overall set-up.

Implementation and trust

Implementation, plans and data security

Answers about implementing Tiedot, choosing a plan, user management and data security.

How does a Tiedot implementation work?

Implementation starts with a review of your dealership's needs and current workflows. That is also where we decide which plan fits your business and which Tiedot features you need.

The scope of the implementation depends on the plan you choose and on your organisation's needs. Tiedot can be implemented for a narrower purpose or as a broader shared environment for the whole dealership.

We agree the details of the implementation with you.

How does Tiedot handle data security?

Tiedot is built for professional use in the motor trade, and access is controlled through user accounts and permissions. Organisation administrators manage users and their permissions to suit the organisation's needs.
