WheelsAI and iVendi solve different parts of vehicle retail
Choose WheelsAI for the dealer record and storefront; assess iVendi when the requirement is a connected finance journey.
Published · Last updated
iVendi describes vehicle retail and finance technology used by dealers, marketplaces and finance partners. WheelsAI includes an illustrative finance calculator, but does not submit applications, connect a buyer to a lender or approve finance.
No native iVendi integration is claimed. Dealers considering both should agree the source of truth, regulated responsibilities and data flow before purchase.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Does WheelsAI require me to cancel iVendi?
No. Decide separately which advertising, website or finance services remain useful. WheelsAI replaces the back-office workflow; it does not claim that every iVendi 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.
