The trust layer for global automotive.
The modular infrastructure every part of the automotive industry builds on - starting with the DMS that runs a dealership.
Built for dealers, workshops, financiers, marketplaces, manufacturers, parts distributors, fleets, authorities and developers.
In active conversations with early dealership design partners - to be announced.
The DMS that runs a dealership - and the data layer everything else builds on.
The industry runs on a dozen systems that don't talk to each other.
Every dealer juggles a legacy DMS, spreadsheets, a CRM, a website, a financing portal and registry lookups - none of them connected. The data that should drive margin is trapped in silos.
One platform. Modular by design.
The open, AI-native infrastructure layer that makes canonical vehicle data usable for every actor - in any market - and that anyone can build on. It starts alongside the systems a dealer already runs, then expands to become the operating system for everyone who touches a vehicle.
Stripe did it for payments. Shopify for commerce. VehIQ for automotive.
Modular DMS & operations
Inventory, valuation, deals, financing and registration - each a module you can adopt on its own.
Canonical vehicle data
A canonical, versioned vehicle model with field-level lineage across every market.
AI-native decisions
Pricing, demand and risk intelligence - every recommendation shows confidence and sources.
Developer platform
Versioned REST/OpenAPI, SDKs in 6+ languages, and a marketplace where anyone builds modules.
Controlled data sharing
Dealer → financier → marketplace, expressed as a revocable, audited contract. Total isolation by default, selectively opened by agreement.
Augment first. Then expand.
No rip-and-replace. VehIQ lands alongside the system of record, proves itself on one module, then grows across the value chain.
Run alongside your DMS
VehIQ ingests as a smart data and intelligence layer next to your system of record. No rip-and-replace.
Adopt one module
Start with AI valuation or digital registration - one workflow, real value, zero migration risk.
Expand across the value chain
Financier, marketplace and parts modules switch on over the same core as trust builds.
Decisions with their sources shown.
Market-aware pricing, inventory ageing and margin-at-risk alerts, computed on a canonical vehicle model. Every answer carries a confidence score and the data lineage behind it - so a dealer can trust it, and a regulator can audit it.
- Market-aware valuation with confidence intervals
- Inventory ageing and margin-at-risk alerts
- Demand and acquisition recommendations
Every car, priced and aged, in one grid.
Days in stock, estimated margin and margin-at-risk flags with an AI action on every vehicle - the inventory intelligence a modern dealership runs on, on one screen.

Time-to-first-call, minimized.
A versioned REST/OpenAPI contract, generated SDKs in 6+ languages, and an official MCP server so any AI agent can query, valuate and transact. Anyone - dealers, marketplaces, financiers - builds their own modules.

}A modern, open foundation.
The architecture choices an ecosystem can be built on - owned data in open formats, versioned contracts, database-level isolation and AI that shows its work.
- Next.js - App Router
- TypeScript - end-to-end
- PostgreSQL - system of record
- Apache Iceberg - owned lakehouse
- OpenAPI - versioned contracts
- MCP - AI-agent ready
- Row-level security - tenant isolation
- Open formats - no lock-in
- In-region - data residency
- AI-native - sources + confidence
Everyone who touches a vehicle is a customer.
Start with European dealers, expand worldwide - the Gulf and beyond - and grow outward across the value chain - each segment another module on the same core. A platform designed to be land-, currency- and rule-flexible from day one.
Defensible at the layers that matter.
The moat sits in three places: canonical data designed to compound as dealers join, every recommendation logged with its outcome, and deliberate architecture decisions - one-way doors competitors built on legacy monoliths cannot retrofit.
Tenant isolation in the database
Row-level security, not application checks. A forgotten WHERE clause can never leak one dealer's data to another.
Versioned contracts, never broken
Date-pinned API versions and a 12-month deprecation promise - the reason an ecosystem can form on top.
Data you own, in open formats
Operational Postgres + an Iceberg lakehouse you own. Snowflake and Databricks become interchangeable engines, not owners.
Outcome-logged AI
Every recommendation is stored with its result - a data moat no newcomer can replicate after the fact.
Early, but real.
We're pre-seed and building in the open. The credibility below rests on architecture, not slideware - the one-way doors are already in the codebase, not the roadmap.
Pre-seed, building in the open
The product preview you've just seen reflects deliberate architecture - canonical vehicle data, valuations with confidence intervals, and an API designed for AI agents to build on.
Design partners shaping it
We're in conversation with early dealerships, shaping each module before it ships so the first release fits how a dealership actually runs.
Operator-founded
Built by Simon Axelsson (SIAX Technology AB) - production data platforms and BI on a modern cloud/data stack, with hands-on automotive-data depth.
The questions that matter.
Build the layer
the industry runs on.
We're building VehIQ now and in active conversations with dealers and design partners shaping every module before it ships. If you're an investor, dealer or builder interested in the infrastructure layer for global automotive, let's talk.
