Navigator is fully integrated with AutoTrader via their Connect Interface.
This allows AutoTrader adverts to be created, updated, and maintained directly within Navigator — providing a seamless, efficient way to manage your stock advertising.
The interface is fully two-way, meaning Navigator can not only upload advert information to AutoTrader but also monitor and update vehicle records based on changes made within AutoTrader itself.
How It Works
A vehicle is added to Navigator. At this stage, the basic details (such as vehicle information, specification, price, etc.) are uploaded to AutoTrader but remain unpublished.
The advert heading and description are then added in Navigator, automatically updating the unpublished advert.
The dealer takes images of the vehicle using a third-party application that uploads them to AutoTrader (for example, CitNow). Navigator automatically downloads these images.
When the vehicle is ready for retail, the advert is ticked for publishing in Navigator.
The dealer may use the AutoTrader application to monitor market pricing and update the vehicle’s price directly in AutoTrader. Any changes made to the advert within AutoTrader are automatically updated in Navigator.
Similarly, if changes are made within Navigator, these are sent to AutoTrader.
There are many variations on how this workflow can be used, but the key point is that — regardless of where you maintain the advert — everything remains fully in sync between Navigator and AutoTrader.
