Custom development

Custom development for the automotive industry.

Onit Digital combines uniquely integrated promotion management software with a team of industry experts to develop new lead sources for your dealers, turning emerging tech into experiences that move people to act.

What we build

Software built for how automotive retail actually runs.

Thousands of offers, hundreds of markets, and a brand standard that cannot bend. We build for that.

Offer engines

One source of truth for every advertised price, lease, APR and cash offer, national to DMA.

Dealer tools

Redemption, desk and showroom tools that hand the salesperson full context.

Shopper experiences

Offer pages, widgets, video and messaging that turn interest into a dealer conversation.

Integrations

Offer feeds, inventory, dealer systems and media platforms, connected without rip-and-replace.

Measurement

Closed-loop attribution from the ad a shopper saw to the car she bought.

Prototypes to production

We pressure-test ideas as working prototypes before they reach the market.

The proof

Built, shipped and running.

The typical sequence. Phases overlap on purpose, so working software shows up early.

How it connects

Consulting, custom development and The Buddy System work as one.

How Onit Digital's consulting, custom development and The Buddy System connectA loop around your business objective: Retail Consulting sets the roadmap, Custom Development builds what is unique to the brand, The Buddy System runs it at scale, and results flow back to consulting. RetailConsulting CustomDevelopment The BuddySystem YOUR BUSINESSOBJECTIVE roadmap run it at scale results
  1. Retail Consulting starts with the business objective: which markets, which vehicles, what has to move. Then it maps the technical path to get there.
  2. Custom Development builds what is unique to your brand: integrations, offer logic, dealer tools and shopper experiences.
  3. The Buddy System runs it at scale. Custom work plugs in as an extension, so it inherits your permissions, your brand and your data model on the day it is installed.
  4. Results flow back. Closed-loop measurement shows which idea sold the car, and that shapes the next round of consulting.

Bring a real brief.

Bring an actual goal from an actual market, and watch The Buddy System build it.
