Shopify for vehicles
Ekho's end-to-end vehicle commerce platform powers compliant, digital sales of titled vehicles. Our platform handles checkout, financing, titling, registration, signature collection, and taxes—so dealers and OEMs can sell nationwide with a seamless, Tesla-like experience. Dealers use Ekho Dealer as a “dealership-in-a-box” to capture online sales and automate in-store deals without needing large back-office teams, while OEMs use Ekho Access and Omni to extend their reach and unify dealers across sales channels.
Ekho positions itself as a modern vehicle commerce platform that automates the full vehicle sales lifecycle. It offers AI sales agents, conversion-optimized websites, and a transaction engine designed to handle financing, titling, and registration across all 50 states for vehicle dealerships, OEMs, and dealer networks.
Ekho provides an AI-driven sales agent that responds to every lead across chat, SMS, and email, qualifies buyers, books appointments, and helps close deals 24/7. It offers AI-native dealership websites optimized for speed, mobile performance, SEO/AI-driven conversions, and a complete online checkout layer called the Transaction Engine that handles financing, KYC, fraud detection, titling, registration, and compliance. The platform is designed to work in integration with dealers’ inventories and workflows, and supports nationwide dealer networks, OEMs, and marketplace-style shopping experiences for vehicle purchasing.
Who it’s for: Dealerships, dealership groups, OEMs with dealer networks, new-entrant OEMs, distributors, and dealers seeking a nationwide or scalable vehicle selling and financing solution.
Hiring/traction mentions (case studies and partners) and multiple listed deployments with dealerships and OEMs; emphasis on scalable nationwide use and partner programs.
