How to compare fairly
Do not compare only the homepage design. Open a real vehicle page, test the enquiry flow, check the sitemap, review the admin workflow and calculate the full yearly cost.

Area
What to check
TraderWay focus
Public website
Does your current DMS include a public-facing website, or is that a separate purchase or agency job?
Every plan includes a full public website with stock pages and vehicle detail pages, not just back-office admin.
Vehicle pages & e-brochures
Can buyers download a branded PDF brochure from a vehicle page today?
Vehicle detail pages include photos, price, spec and a downloadable branded e-brochure on every plan.
Mobile experience
Open your current site on a phone — is browsing stock and enquiring as fast as on desktop?
Mobile-first responsive theme with no separate app or plugin required.
Lead capture
How many enquiry types does your current system capture, and where do they land?
Vehicle, finance, part-exchange, callback and stock-update-subscriber enquiries are all built in.
SEO structure
Does your provider auto-generate indexable make/model pages as stock changes?
Clean URLs, an XML sitemap and automated make pages update as live stock changes, with per-site SEO rules for multi-branch groups.
Daily stock admin
How many clicks or screens does it take to add a vehicle and get it live?
Add a vehicle, upload images (including QR photo upload from a phone) and publish in one workflow.
Vehicle reservations
Is there a reservation status, or do staff track held vehicles manually?
Built-in reservation workflow so a vehicle can be held while a deal is agreed.
Vehicle invoicing
Is invoicing part of the core product, or a paid add-on?
Deposits, balances and full invoices are tied directly to stock records.
Accounting sync
Does your provider sync to your accounting software, or is this manual re-entry?
Xero invoice and payment sync with configurable account and VAT codes on Business.
Marketplace feeds
Which marketplaces does your current feed actually support, and is it extra cost?
Autotrader sync, eBay Motors publishing and CarGurus-ready feeds included from Growth.
Multi-site support
If you run more than one site, is multi-location genuinely supported or a workaround?
Multiple branch locations, per-site SEO rules and branch context in one dealer account.
Reviews & reputation
Can you show live review content on your vehicle or website pages today?
Aggregate reviews from multiple sources and display them on your website.
Team access & audit trail
Can you see who edited a price or deleted a vehicle record?
Role-based team access plus a full activity log on Business.
Setup & contract
Ask about setup fees, minimum contract length and early termination costs.
No setup fee, simple monthly or annual billing, and full Business access free for the first 6 months.
Why dealers look at switching
Common reasons dealers start comparing
These are questions worth asking about your current setup, not claims about any specific provider.
Website and DMS live in separate places
Some dealers on a DMS-first product end up paying separately for a website, agency work or a CMS licence. Ask whether your public website is genuinely included.
Daily stock admin feels slow
If publishing or editing a vehicle takes many steps, screens or a support ticket, it slows down the busiest part of the week.
SEO feels like an afterthought
If new stock is not automatically indexable, or make/model pages do not exist, organic search visibility can stall.
Total cost is hard to pin down
Setup fees, contract length, per-feature add-ons and support charges can make monthly pricing difficult to compare directly.
Migration feels risky
Dealers often stay with a legacy provider because switching feels disruptive. TraderWay can help plan the stock, domain and page move.
No visibility on admin changes
Without an activity log, it can be hard to see who changed a price, removed a vehicle or edited a setting.
Where TraderWay is strongest
TraderWay is built for independent UK dealers that want a fast website, simple stock management, enquiries, invoices, SEO structure and affordable pricing without unnecessary complexity.
