Automotive & Mobility

Automotive Software Development Company

Software for selling, servicing, renting and running vehicles.

EIT Connect offers automotive software development for dealer groups, service networks, used-car businesses, rental and fleet operators, parts sellers and OEM digital teams. We build dealership management systems, showroom and workshop software, fleet platforms, customer and service apps, dealer websites and the integrations that tie them to OEM portals, payment gateways and government systems.

We're clear about our lane: we build the software around the vehicle, from the first showroom enquiry to the tenth service visit, rather than safety-critical firmware inside it. That's where most automotive businesses lose time and money anyway: leads that never get a test drive, job cards on paper and customers who drift to a local garage after the free services end.

  • Sales, service, fleet and parts software under one team
  • Built for Indian dealers and used-car rules
  • Works with your OEM and accounting systems

What We Build

Our Automotive Software Development Services

Our automotive software development services cover the business of vehicles: sales, service, parts, rentals and fleets. Start with the module that costs you most today, or plan a connected platform in phases.

  • Dealership Management Software Development

    Leads from OEM portals, aggregator sites, ads and walk-ins; test drive scheduling; vehicle stock by model, variant and colour; bookings, finance and insurance tie-ups; delivery checklists; and accessories sales. Our dealership management software development connects showroom and workshop so the customer record follows the car, not the salesperson.

  • Workshop & Service Management

    Online service booking, job cards on tablets, digital inspection with photos, estimates approved over WhatsApp, parts issue and stock, technician allocation, invoicing and service reminders based on date or kilometres. Free-service customers stay with you when the reminder arrives before the local garage's does.

  • Fleet Management Software Development

    Our fleet management software development covers vehicle tracking through your telematics provider, trip logs, fuel and expense records, maintenance schedules, document expiry alerts for insurance, permits and fitness, driver scorecards and cost-per-kilometre reporting. Corporate fleets, rental companies and passenger transport operators each get views built for how they use vehicles. For goods transport and delivery fleets, see our logistics software solutions.

  • Used Car Platforms

    Inspection apps with photo checklists, valuation inputs, listing management, lead routing, refurbishment tracking and ownership transfer workflows. Platforms can support the authorisation certificate and electronic vehicle trip register that dealers of registered vehicles must keep under the amended Central Motor Vehicles Rules.

  • Rental, Leasing & Subscription Platforms

    Vehicle availability, bookings, KYC through licensed partners, digital agreements, deposits, damage records with photos, and pick-up and return checklists, for self-drive rentals, chauffeur services and long-term subscriptions.

  • Parts & Accessories eCommerce

    Parts catalogues searchable by make, model, year and variant, fitment checks so buyers order the right part, distributor and retailer pricing, and stock across warehouses. For the storefront itself, see our eCommerce software solutions.

  • Automotive Website Development

    Your website is often the first showroom a buyer visits. Our automotive website development covers dealer, workshop, rental and parts websites: model and variant pages, on-road price enquiries, test drive and service booking, used-car listings with inspection reports, offers and branch locators. For car dealership website development, we also connect enquiries straight to your CRM, so no lead waits in an inbox. The build follows our custom website development standards.

  • OEM & Supplier Portals

    Dealer portals for orders, allocations, schemes and claims; warranty claim workflows; parts ordering; training content; and connected-car companion apps that sit on top of the OEM's telematics platform.

  • Automotive Analytics & AI

    Lead-to-sale conversion by source, service retention, parts movement, fleet cost per kilometre and predictive maintenance alerts. Our data analytics and AI development teams build these on the data your systems already hold.

Apps

Automotive App Development

For most car owners, the dealer relationship now lives in an app between service visits. Our automotive app development team builds Android, iOS and cross-platform apps on the same backend as your showroom and workshop systems. Platform choices are covered on our mobile app development page.

Customer & Service Apps

Typical features:

  • Vehicle details, documents and service history in one place
  • Service booking with pick-up and drop options
  • Live job status, estimate approval and online payment
  • Service, insurance and PUC renewal reminders
  • Test drive booking and new-car enquiries
  • Roadside assistance requests with location

Custom automotive software development rarely means replacing the OEM's system. More often it means building the customer app, workshop tools or group-level reporting the OEM system doesn't offer, and connecting them through our application integration team.

Benefits of Custom Automotive Software

How We Work

How We Build Automotive Software

Automotive software development works when it's built around the showroom floor and the workshop bay. Our process starts there.

  1. Walk the floor

    We follow a lead from enquiry to delivery and a car from service booking to gate pass.

  2. Discovery

    Brands, locations, OEM systems, finance and insurance partners, and the integrations you need.

  3. Prototype with your team

    Clickable sales, workshop and customer app screens tested by the people who'll use them.

  4. Build in sprints

    Regular demos, with OEM portal, payment and telematics integrations connected early.

  5. Test in a live branch

    Pilot in one showroom or workshop with real customers before rolling out.

  6. Roll out by location

    Branch by branch, with data migration and staff training.

  7. Support and improve

    Monitoring, fixes and new features under a support plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is automotive software development?

Automotive software development is building the software automotive businesses run on: dealership and workshop management, fleet platforms, used-car and rental systems, parts eCommerce, OEM portals, customer apps and websites, and the integrations that connect them.

What types of automotive software do you build?

We build dealership management software, workshop and service systems, fleet management platforms, used-car and rental platforms, parts catalogues and eCommerce, OEM and dealer portals, customer, sales, technician and driver apps, and automotive websites.

Do you build in-vehicle or embedded software?

Our focus is the business, customer and fleet software around the vehicle. Safety-critical in-vehicle firmware needs specialist teams working to standards such as ISO 26262, and we'll tell you honestly if your project needs one.

How much does automotive software development cost?

Cost depends on the modules you need, the number of locations and brands, apps, and integrations with OEM, telematics, payment and accounting systems. A service booking app costs far less than a multi-branch DMS with workshop and fleet modules. We share a fixed estimate after a short discovery call.

Can you build fleet management software?

Yes. Our fleet management software development covers tracking through your telematics provider, trips, fuel and expenses, maintenance, document expiry alerts, driver scorecards and cost-per-kilometre reporting.

Do you offer car dealership website development?

Yes. We build dealer websites with model pages, price enquiries, test drive and service booking, used-car listings and branch locators, with every enquiry flowing straight into your CRM.

Can you integrate with our OEM's dealer system?

Usually, yes, depending on what the OEM allows. Where an OEM system offers APIs or data exports, we connect it; where it doesn't, we build around it so your team doesn't have to re-enter data.

How do I choose the best automotive software development company?

Look for a team that asks to see your showroom and workshop, is clear about what it does and doesn't build, shows integration work similar to yours, pilots in one branch before rolling out, and hands you full code ownership with support. Ask us the same questions.

Let's Keep Your Customers Coming Back
