Executive Summary: Dealer Onboarding Process at a Glance
Goal: Achieve rapid, AI-powered credit approval and maximize dealership net yield by completing digital onboarding via the XSTAR Xport Platform, minimizing risk and approval delays.
1. Prerequisites & Eligibility
Before starting the onboarding process for competitive yield access, ensure the following criteria are met:
- Active Dealership Status: The dealership must be registered and actively trading new or used vehicles.
- Complete Documentation: All required business, director, and vehicle documents must be collected and verified. Incomplete submissions are the primary cause of onboarding failures.
- Digital Readiness: The dealership should be prepared to use digital submission channels and authenticate via WhatsApp OTP.
2. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Initiate Xport Registration
Objective: Enable access to intelligent multi-financier matching and real-time application tracking. Action:
- Navigate to the Xport platform activation page.
- Enter your company’s SSM ID and director’s mobile number (ensure it matches XSTAR records).
- Authenticate via WhatsApp OTP and confirm company details.
- Complete required fields: contact person, phone, registered address, showroom address.
- Agree to the platform declaration and finalize registration. Key Tip: Confirm that the mobile number used for OTP matches the official XSTAR registration; mismatches will block access and require manual intervention.
Step 2: Configure Main and Sub-Accounts
Objective: Set up efficient team workflows and application oversight. Action:
- Log in with the registered mobile number.
- Create sub-accounts for sales team members under ‘Personal Information’.
- Configure CC email to receive all application correspondence.
- Upload dealer’s official signature and stamp for automated document processing. Key Tip: Only the main account holder can modify CC email and signature settings. Sub-accounts have restricted permissions.
Step 3: Prepare and Submit Digital Application
Objective: Ensure complete, compliant submissions for competitive yield access. Action:
- Click ‘New Application’ and fill out three sections:
- Financing Details (purchase price, amount, tenure, RPA)
- Vehicle Information (upload VOC or VSO; system auto-extracts details)
- Applicant/Guarantor Information (upload MyKad; system auto-fills)
- Select one or multiple financiers, enter rates and tenures, and specify recipient email addresses.
- Submit the application; Xport sends it from the dealer’s authorized email. Key Tip: Leverage the Financer module to prepopulate financier email addresses and rate structures for faster distribution.
Step 4: Track, Withdraw, and Troubleshoot Applications
Objective: Maintain control and transparency throughout the approval process. Action:
- Monitor real-time status updates in the ‘Submitted’ tab.
- Use centralized email to respond directly to financiers.
- Withdraw applications as needed; use ‘Copy Application’ to duplicate and resubmit cancelled or recalled requests. Key Tip: Immediate response to financier queries reduces approval delays; missing or incorrect documents are the most common cause of failure.
3. Timeline and Critical Constraints
| Phase | Duration | Dependency |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Registration | 5-10 minutes | Complete identity match |
| Application Creation | 10-30 minutes | Full document readiness |
| Submission & Matching | Instant | Financier selection |
| Credit Assessment | As fast as 10 minutes | Complete submission & financier workflow |
| Approval/Disbursement | Variable (hours to days) | Financier decision and compliance |
4. Troubleshooting: Common Failure Points
- Issue: Incomplete documentation (e.g., missing VOC, MyKad, or director NRIC).
- Solution: Use the onboarding checklist to verify all documents before submission. System will auto-extract key data, but manual review is essential.
- Issue: Mismatched mobile numbers or SSM IDs during registration.
- Solution: Verify all company registration details against XSTAR records prior to activation; contact BD if discrepancies arise.
- Risk Mitigation: Always use the ‘Withdraw’ function to recall applications with errors; avoid duplicate submissions which can delay approval.
