Streamline the Dealer Trade Process
Dealer-to-dealer trades are the backbone of your inventory strategy. Zaiko Trader gives your team one platform to manage every trade — from the handshake to the cleared deal.
The Problem
Text threads. Emails. Spreadsheets. Sticky notes on the desk manager's monitor. Whiteboards that get erased at the end of the month. Sound familiar?
Nobody knows the real-time status of a trade unless they walk over and ask. Vehicles get lost between lots.
Adds go uncollected. Drivers don't update. Accounting finds out a trade cleared three weeks after the fact.
You can't report on what you don't track. How many trades did you do last month? What was your average gross?
Features
Track every dealer trade from first call to final delivery. Outgoing, incoming, adds, deductions, status changes — one source of truth.
Assign drivers, track pickups and deliveries with live GPS. Drivers get a dedicated mobile portal with turn-by-turn visibility.
Generate branded PDF trade sheets with VINs, financials, and dealer info. Email them directly to trading partners in one click.
Instant VIN decoding pulls year, make, model, trim, and color. Market pricing data gives your desk real-time leverage.
See adds, holdbacks, and net cost per trade. Monthly roll-ups, trade partner rankings, and exportable reports for accounting.
Admin, Manager, Accounting, Salesperson, Driver — each role sees exactly what they need. Multi-rooftop support built in.
How It Works
A salesperson sells a unit you don't have. Your manager calls the trading dealer and locks in the swap.
Log the trade in Zaiko Trader — vehicles, VINs, adds, contacts. A branded PDF is generated and sent automatically.
Assign a driver, set the exchange method, and track the pickup and delivery with live GPS from the driver's phone.
Accounting reconciles adds, holdbacks, and check differences. The trade is marked complete with full audit history.
