WheelsAI and Codeweavers: different finance depth, different core job
WheelsAI runs the dealer record and storefront; Codeweavers focuses on connected digital-retail and finance journeys.
Published · Last updated
Codeweavers describes automotive retail software connecting retailers, manufacturers and finance providers across discovery, finance and purchase. WheelsAI’s core is the dealer DMS and hosted marketplace workflow.
WheelsAI does not have a native Codeweavers integration and does not arrange finance. A dealer needing a regulated finance journey should assess it separately and confirm how data would move between systems.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Does WheelsAI require me to cancel Codeweavers?
No. Decide separately which advertising, website or finance services remain useful. WheelsAI replaces the back-office workflow; it does not claim that every Codeweavers service is unnecessary.
Does WheelsAI arrange motor finance?
No. WheelsAI shows illustrative finance-calculator figures only. It does not submit a credit application, connect the buyer to a lender or approve finance.
How should I compare the cost?
Compare the actual products, channel fees and staff workflow you use today with the WheelsAI plan that fits your active stock. Do not count AutoTrader spend as a saving because that account remains a separate channel.
