Built on the SDT Engine.
How Botdoc serves the automotive vertical. Three products, one Secure Digital Transport (SDT) Engine, in production at dealers nationwide.
SecureMyDealer is the unified automotive product family from Botdoc. It is not a new product. It is the umbrella that wraps the three production products we already ship to dealers today (Connect, Lite, ID Verify) plus the growing set of capabilities we are building for dealer compliance and deal-room transport.
Auto was the first vertical we ever built on the SDT Engine, and it is still the vertical with the deepest install base. Dealerships, dealer groups, OEMs, and Dealer Management System (DMS) partners have been running on Botdoc for years. SecureMyDealer is how we name that work now that the family is large enough to need its own roof.
Every product in the family runs on the same SDT Engine. Same patented transport, same compliance posture, same zero-login customer experience. What changes between the products is the workflow they sit inside and the size of the dealership they were built for.
Auto retail is the textbook case for why generic secure-document tools fail. The customer is in the showroom for forty-five minutes. The sales staff lives on text and email because that is what closes deals. The Finance and Insurance (F&I) office has to collect driver's license, proof of insurance, pay stubs, and trade paperwork, and any friction in that collection adds days to the deal or loses it entirely.
Before SDT, a dealership wanting to comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) had to choose between a customer portal nobody uses, a secure email gateway the sales floor will not adopt, or a paper process the F&I office cannot scale. The result was the same in every store: sales staff defaulted to text and unsecured email, and the dealership absorbed the regulatory exposure.
The SDT Engine made it possible to remove the customer-side login entirely. The dealership employee starts a session, the customer responds inside their text thread, and the encrypted documents land in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or DMS already verified. The sales floor uses it because it is the same flow they were already using. The compliance happens in the transport, not in a behavior-change program.
Three products, all live and in production. Each is built on the same SDT Engine. Pick the one that matches your dealership size and workflow, or use them together.
The full CRM and DMS-integrated dealership workflow. Auto-populates leads, validates IDs, appends customer records, removes manual entry from the F&I office.
Purpose-built for smaller dealers and franchise groups. On-demand secure sessions over text and email, with no permanent file storage and no integration project.
Real-time driver's license and ID verification against the issuing agency. Used inside Connect and Lite or as a standalone feature in the dealer workflow.
SecureMyDealer covers the dealership end to end. Test-drive scheduling on the website. Customer engagement in the showroom and on the lot through Quick Response (QR) codes or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) cards. F&I document collection. Trade-in paperwork. Compliance file capture at signing.
The dealership employee uses the workflow they already know. The customer never leaves the conversation they were already in. The deal moves faster because the friction is gone, and the compliance posture is built into the transport from the first text message forward.
The FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) put the entire auto retail industry on the hook for in-transit encryption of customer financial data. Dealers do not have an opt-out. SecureMyDealer is built so the in-transit encryption is the path of least resistance, not the path the sales floor avoids.
Every product in the family runs on the same patented SDT Engine. The transport layer is the compliance layer. Audit trails on every document. No customer credentials in the dealership environment. No password resets to staff. The compliance review is faster because the architecture is simpler.
