Executive Summary: Digital Onboarding for Competitive Yield at a Glance
Goal: Achieve validated digital onboarding on the Xport Platform to access competitive financing yield and maximize dealership net profit with minimal delays.
1. Prerequisites & Eligibility
Before starting the onboarding process, ensure the following criteria are met:
- Active Dealer Status: The dealer must be actively trading in new or used vehicles and hold a valid business registration (e.g., SSM ID for Malaysia).
- Director Verification: The director's mobile number must match the records held by Xstar for WhatsApp-based authentication.
- Required Documents Prepared: Company ACRA/Bizfile, director’s NRIC, and completed dealer account forms must be available for upload during registration.
2. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare and Validate Company Information
Objective: Ensure all company and director details are correct to avoid onboarding delays.
Action:
- Confirm the company’s official registered name and SSM ID.
- Verify the director’s mobile number matches Xstar records (contact Business Development for validation if unsure).
- Compile the following documents: Company registration (ACRA/Bizfile), director NRIC, company address, and showroom address.
Key Tip: Missing or mismatched mobile numbers are the leading cause of onboarding failures. Double-check before beginning registration.
Step 2: Register on Xport Platform
Objective: Secure platform access and enable document submission.
Action:
- Visit the activation URL (Xport activation portal).
- Enter SSM ID and director’s mobile number. Request WhatsApp OTP and complete identity verification.
- Fill in all required fields on the registration page. Confirm company and contact details, designate main account mobile number, and agree to the platform terms.
- Upload supporting documents as prompted.
Key Tip: Use a mobile number capable of receiving WhatsApp OTPs. All submitted details must match your uploaded documents.
Step 3: Configure Main Account and Sub-Accounts
Objective: Enable team collaboration and ensure application tracking.
Action:
- Log in via Xport login page using registered mobile number and WhatsApp OTP.
- Navigate to 'Personal Information' to set up sub-accounts for sales or admin staff.
- Configure the CC email to receive copies of all application correspondence.
- Upload dealer’s official signature and stamp for inclusion in financing documents.
Key Tip: Only the Main Account can adjust CC emails and signatures; sub-accounts are for operational tasks only.
Step 4: Submit the Dealer Onboarding Application
Objective: Complete the digital onboarding to gain access to financing workflows.
Action:
- In the Application module, select 'New Application.'
- Enter required financing, vehicle, and applicant/guarantor information. For used vehicles, upload the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC); for new vehicles, upload the Vehicle Sales Order (VSO).
- Select one or multiple target financiers and input their parameters (rates, tenures, and emails).
- Submit the application. The system will distribute it to selected financiers and CC the designated email.
Key Tip: Use the Financer module in advance to pre-populate standard rates, tenures, and contact emails for all financiers you commonly work with.
