For franchise dealers:
OEM-compliant, scalable, multi-location ready
With Autaxo Studio, franchised contract dealers meet their manufacturers' image guidelines: automatically, consistently, across all locations. A multi-VIN workflow, multi-tenant role management, and brand-specific Showrooms make the solution equally scalable for single-brand and multi-brand setups.
Premium example: Porsche 911 Carrera in a brand-appropriate showroom: hexagon lighting, beige floor, neutral background. OEM guidelines applied consistently to every image.
What franchise dealers really need in 2026
OEM guidelines keep getting stricter. Manufacturers specify exactly how authorized contract dealers must present inventory vehicles online: background color, floor texture, shadow placement, logo position. Anyone editing this manually per vehicle loses dramatic amounts of time and inevitably produces inconsistencies.
At the same time, dealer groups keep growing: two, three, or five locations are standard today. Every group wants a uniform image presence, even though each location has its own team, its own staff, its own lot. Photographing on site and processing centrally is the only scalable approach.
Autaxo Studio serves exactly this setup: define your CI guidelines once and the Showroom standard applies automatically to every location and every vehicle. Staff shoot with their smartphones. The output looks like it came from a central brand studio. Plus role-based permissions, so salespeople only see their own images while management sees the full inventory.

Frequently asked questions from franchise dealers
Does Autaxo Studio meet our manufacturer's image guidelines?
Yes. Custom Showrooms, available from the Pro plan, can be adapted to OEM guidelines: background color, floor texture, lighting angle, logo position. Once configured, this applies automatically to every vehicle image in your inventory. We have experience with guidelines from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Skoda, Stellantis brands, and Asian OEMs.
How does multi-VIN work with several vehicles at once?
You photograph all vehicles one after another, and Autaxo Studio detects the VIN from a photo of the registration document or via OCR from the type plate. Each image is automatically assigned to the correct vehicle record. For bulk uploads via the API, you pass the VIN as a parameter. Your entire inventory can be processed in a single run.
How do we manage multiple locations centrally?
The Business plan includes multi-tenant management: a central backend with location assignment, role-based permissions (for example, salespeople only see their own location while management sees all of them), and central CI guidelines that can be varied per location. Images are automatically assigned to the correct location.
Can we maintain brand-specific image backgrounds?
Yes. You can set up a dedicated Showroom per brand, for example a 'BMW Showroom' for BMW vehicles and a 'Mini Showroom' for Mini. The AI automatically assigns each vehicle to the right Showroom via model recognition. For multi-brand dealerships, this is a key workflow advantage.
