Signal has transformed exporting into a streamlined process which can be a major profit center for your Canadian franchise dealership today. This is great news for you, since the process used to be a logistical nightmare plagued with endless guesswork, paperwork, and regulatory headaches. Let’s look at how Signal makes exporting easier, scalable, and profitable.  

WHAT MADE EXPORTING COMPLICATED IN THE PAST?

One of the biggest hurdles was determining which cars to buy for export. Without reliable data, deciding which vehicles were worth sending south of the border came down to guesswork, which often meant lost opportunities and profits.

What’s more, navigating compliance requirements was just plain difficult. Meeting US regulations like the Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards meant managing paperwork, odometer conversions, and other tedious tasks.

Finding buyers in the US wasn’t easy, either. Even if the cars made it across the border, dealers struggled to connect with the right buyers, limiting their ability to turn inventory quickly and profitably.

And managing the process was time consuming, to say the least. Exporting felt like a full-time job, requiring dedicated staff to handle everything from documentation to pricing and logistics. For many dealerships, the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.

HOW SIGNAL SIMPLIFIES EVERY ASPECT OF EXPORTING

We built Signal to address all the challenges dealers have faced, automating and simplifying the entire process. Here’s how.
