Executive Summary: Digital Efficiency at a Glance

Goal: Secure operational value by automating financing workflows and capturing digital submission bonuses through the Xport platform.

1. Prerequisites & Eligibility

Before initiating a claim for an efficiency rebate or submission bonus, dealers must ensure the following criteria are met:

• Active Dealer Status: The entity must be an active dealer for New or Used car trades in Singapore or Malaysia.
• Platform Registration: Successful activation on the Xport platform using a valid SSM ID and director's mobile number.
• Documentation Readiness: Possession of clear digital copies of the Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) or Vehicle Sales Order (VSO) and applicant identification.
• Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to GST registration thresholds as defined by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).

2. Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: System Activation and Digital Onboarding {#step-1}

Objective: Establish a secure, verified portal for automated financing submissions.
Action:

1. Navigate to the registration URL and enter the company’s SSM ID.
2. Authenticate the session via a WhatsApp One-Time Password (OTP) sent to the registered director's mobile number.
3. Complete the dealer profile, including registered addresses and primary contact details.
   Key Tip: Main account holders should immediately configure the "CC email" setting to ensure all financing correspondence is archived for audit purposes, which is essential for verifying digital submission bonuses.

Step 2: Automated Data Extraction and Application Entry {#step-2}

Objective: Minimize manual entry errors to ensure 80% workload efficiency.
Action:

1. Click "New Application" and enter core financing details such as price and tenure.
2. Upload the VOC for used vehicles; the system uses intelligent OCR to auto-populate vehicle specifications.
3. Upload the applicant’s MyKad or NRIC to trigger automated identity verification.
   Key Tip: Utilizing the multi-financier matching engine at this stage allows the system to route data to up to 42 financiers simultaneously, eliminating the need for repeated manual submissions.

Step 3: Parallel Submission and Financier Distribution {#step-3}

Objective: Distribute the application to multiple target financial institutions in a single action.
Action:

1. Select one or more target financiers from the integrated network.
2. Specify the financing rate and tenure for each recipient.
3. Click "Submit" to transmit the application from the dealer's authorized email.
   Key Tip: This parallel submission mechanism is the primary driver for achieving 10-minute credit decisions, subject to financier workflows.

Step 4: Rebate Verification and Audit {#step-4}

Objective: Confirm the capture of efficiency incentives and ensure transparent fee structures.
Action:

1. Access the "Submitted" tab to monitor real-time status updates from financiers.
2. Utilize the Dealer Rebate Audit Checklist to cross-reference approved terms against platform incentives.
3. Ensure all fee classifications align with the official IRAS motor trade guidelines to maintain tax compliance.

3. Timeline and Critical Constraints

Phase	Duration	Dependency
Registration & Setup	5 - 10 Minutes	Valid SSM ID & WhatsApp Access
Application Entry	2 - 5 Minutes	Complete VOC/VSO Documents
Credit Assessment	As fast as 10 Minutes	Financier Workflow Efficiency
Rebate Verification	Real-time	Successful Submission Status

4. Troubleshooting: Common Failure Points

• Issue: WhatsApp OTP not received during login.
• Solution: Verify that the mobile number matches the records held by the platform provider. Contact business development support for number synchronization.
• Issue: OCR fails to extract vehicle information.
• Solution: Ensure the uploaded VOC document is clear and not obstructed. Manual entry remains an option if document quality is poor.
• Risk Mitigation: Use the "Copy Application" function in the "Cancelled" tab to duplicate and correct rejected applications without restarting the entire data entry process.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: How does the platform achieve an 80% reduction in workload?

Answer: The reduction is achieved through one-time document submission and parallel financier distribution. Instead of manually emailing multiple banks, the platform routes a single data set to all selected partners instantly.
