Paperwork eats the whole afternoon.
The same VIN, engine number and buyer ID retyped into stock cards, offers to purchase, RLV and NCO forms, VAT invoices and month-end registers. It costs hours and invites mistakes.
ZERO-RENT DMS
The complete dealership system, free to run. Only pay when you pull live data or use AI.
Stop paying every month just to log into your own stock. TruDealers runs your whole floor: stock, DocHub eNaTIS forms, SARS VAT invoices, the 28-shot photo studio, ready-to-send social posts and 24/7 AI chat, for R0 monthly rent and no per-user fees. You only use credits when you run a valuation, a vehicle check or an AI scan.
- Load a car once. Scan the SA licence disc once. The specs flow into the photos, the inspection, the offer to purchase, the eNaTIS RLV and NCO forms, your website and your portals.
- Know what to pay for it. Trade and retail values, live market prices and vehicle checks right inside the system, so you never overpay on a trade-in. Values from 5 credits (R5), and the price is on the button before you tap.
- Leads from your own site. Your showroom website comes wired to your DMS, with trade-in, finance and WhatsApp buttons that drop leads straight in.
R1,500 once-off setup. Then no rent, ever. 1 credit = R1.

The Problem
Five disconnected systems, the same VIN typed six times, and a debit order even in a quiet month.
A spreadsheet for stock. A separate invoicing app. eNaTIS RLV and NCO forms filled in by hand. A login for every portal. Leads spread across three sales phones. And a fixed software bill every month, whether you moved twenty units or two.
Fresh stock sits invisible on the lot.
A trade-in lands on Tuesday and still isn't on your website, your Facebook catalogue or the portals by Friday, because nobody had time to shoot it, write it up and load it four times.
Software rent punishes your cash flow.
Most dealer systems charge per rooftop, per user and per module every month, plus bundle minimums on valuations. With TruDealers the DMS is free and you only pay when you pull paid data.
How It Works
Scan the licence disc once. It powers the whole deal.
Scan a South African licence disc or load the car once. TruDealers fills in the make, model and M&M spec for free, then carries that one record into the photos, the inspection, the deal, the eNaTIS paperwork, the invoice, your website, your portal feed and your accountant's exports. The whole team works from one system, at the desk or on the floor.

What's In It
Everything you need to run the floor is R0. Only paid data and AI use credits.

Pay per use with credits. No rent. No contract. 1 credit = R1.

"I cannot recommend Paul de Beer, owner of TruDealers, highly enough. If you are looking for a software developer who not only understands technology but genuinely understands business and the importance of client service, then Paul is the person you want to deal with.
Paul and his team have developed custom software and apps for my business, and I can honestly say that the quality, innovation and functionality have been exceptional. What they have created has made a real and measurable difference to my business, and the level of professionalism throughout the process has been outstanding.
But what truly sets Paul and TruDealers apart is his commitment to his clients. His service is simply on another level. Paul has been available 24/7, even on Sundays, and no matter what the issue or requirement is, he is always willing to assist and find a solution. That level of dedication is incredibly rare these days.
I have dealt with many companies and service providers over the years, and TruDealers is without a doubt one of the best I have ever experienced. Paul doesn't just sell you software and leave you to figure things out. He builds a relationship, listens to what you need, understands your business and makes sure you get the right solution.
If you are serious about taking your business to the next level with exceptional software, innovative solutions and service that goes far beyond expectations, I would recommend Paul and TruDealers without hesitation.
An outstanding developer, an exceptional business owner, and an even better service provider."

Inspected once. Stamped with CarPass.
Once a car has been inspected, it carries the CarPass stamp on its inspection report. Buyers can see the car has been checked before they make an offer.
The CarPass marketplace
When a trade-in doesn't fit your floor or a unit passes 60 days, buying services chip you down to nothing. CarPass is a web-only, mobile-first marketplace to sell any dealer's or private seller's car, built on full inspection transparency. Every car is checked with the remote inspection link, compared with live trade and retail market data and published with a full stamped CarPass vehicle report, while finance stays with dealers.
- Register as a seller or dealer.
- Inspect with the CarPass remote inspection link, in a short or long version. It is the same remote link as TruInspect.
- Set your asking price.
- We check it against trade and retail market data, produce a full vehicle document and agree a listing price with you.
- Go live on the marketplace. Buyers can lock a car with "Get this deal now" and a R1,000 holding deposit.
- Finance is handled by dealers.

R3,000success fee on a sale: a R1,000 holding deposit when the buyer locks the deal, and the R2,000 balance once the sale agreement is signed
How it works with TruDealers
CarPass runs on the same inspection engine as TruInspect and TruLens, and plugs into the TruDealers DMS so you can push stock to CarPass from TruFlow.
