Car Dealer Vendors standard

Submit factual information

Send a new company, product, integration, ownership event or correction to team@carbidedigital.io. Include the fields below so the submission can be checked against a primary source without a follow-up round.

Company or product

Legal company, active brand, product name, current URL, markets, dealer segments, ownership and former names.

Integration

Both products and versions, direction, data objects, method, provider, fees, applicable dealers, confirmation date and source from each side.

Commercial facts

Pricing model, public starting price if any, term, renewals, implementation, usage, integration and offboarding fees.

Relationship disclosure

State whether you are a vendor employee, dealer customer, former customer, consultant, competitor, investor or other interested party.

What happens to what you send

It is read and checked against a primary source. It is not added to a mailing list, sold, shared with any vendor, or used to contact you about anything other than your submission. This site has no database, no forms and no analytics, so there is no record of you beyond the email you chose to send.

Submissions that are easiest to act on

A submission naming the page URL, the exact field, the proposed replacement and a link to a source that states it can usually be checked in one pass. A submission describing a general impression cannot be checked at all, however accurate it may be, because there is nothing to verify it against.

If you are the subject of a record

You are welcome to submit scope, ownership, market and product corrections about your own company, and your own site is the controlling source for most of them. What you cannot supply is your own evidence status, your own position relative to another provider, or the removal of a limitation that is accurate. Those are editorial and stay with the publisher.

Commercial enquiries

Advertising, placement, sponsorship and preferential treatment are not available at any price, and the disclosures page states exactly which commercial relationships are possible and what they cannot buy. If your enquiry is about visibility rather than facts, that page is the answer.

Response expectations

This is a small research operation, not a support desk. Factual corrections that name a primary source are triaged first; everything else is read in order. If a submission changes a record, you will see it in the change log with a date whether or not you receive a reply.
