Driving the future of automotive retail: NETSOL is at the NIADA Convention and Expo 2025

From June 23 to June 26, 2025, NETSOL Technologies will proudly attend and exhibit at the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA) Convention and Expo 2025, hosted at the luxurious Fontainebleau in Las Vegas. As the largest and most influential event in the independent auto industry, this four-day convention will bring together visionaries, industry pioneers and top-tier professionals across all segments of automotive retail.

For NETSOL, this isn’t just another industry event – it’s an important stage to showcase our vision for the future of automotive retail and the powerful platform leading the charge - Transcend Retail.

Transcend Retail: More than technology – it’s automotive retail, reimagined

At NETSOL, we didn’t set out to build just another digital tool. We created a revolutionary platform built to serve the evolving needs of OEMs, dealer groups and dealerships. Transcend Retail is the realization of that ambition. It turns the complex into clear. It turns friction into profit. And it transforms the traditional car-buying journey into an omni-channel experience that’s seamless, fast and incredibly effective – for both dealers and customers.

Think of it as the engine of a smarter retail experience:

• One that integrates online and in-store journeys effortlessly.
• One that gives customers power, convenience and trust.
• And one that delivers measurable results: More leads, more conversions and happier customers.

With Transcend Retail, dealers aren’t just surviving in the digital age – they’re thriving in it.

MINI Anywhere: A proven success story

Since its debut in June 2021, MINI USA’s digital retail program – MINI Anywhere, powered by NETSOL’s Transcend Retail, has become a benchmark in the automotive industry.

It’s more than a sophisticated lead generator. MINI Anywhere delivers an end-to-end, omni-channel retail experience that brings the showroom into the customer’s living room. Whether browsing, financing or scheduling a delivery, customers can complete every step of their car purchase digitally, in as little as 30 minutes.

Here’s what makes it exceptional:

• Real-time payment options aligned with MINI Financial Services programs.
• Built-in trade-in evaluations.
• Access to MINI finance and insurance (F&I) options.
• Streamlined credit approvals and digital contract management.
• Full control of delivery scheduling.

This isn’t digital retail as a side offering – this is digital retail as the standard.

And the results speak volumes:

• In just 12 months (from 2023-2024), dealer enrollments more than doubled, with nearly two-thirds of MINI USA dealerships now on board.
• Lead volume and vehicle sales witnessed a 5X increase.
• With an impressive 23% lead conversion rate, MINI Anywhere isn’t just raising the bar – it’s redefining it.

As the program continues to expand across the MINI dealer network, it serves as living proof of what Transcend Retail can do for any brand, irrespective of their size.

Challenges faced by independent dealers in the US 

• Severe budget constraints: Limited monthly profit means high-end software subscriptions are often unaffordable. 
• In-house financing (BHPH): These dealers must handle their own underwriting, contracting and collections – complex tasks that standard retail tools often don’t address well. 
• Minimal online presence: Many rely on outdated or free website templates with few conversion features; they miss out on digital leads. 
• Operational fragmentation: Dealers may juggle a basic CRM (or none at all), spreadsheets and a separate collections system, leading to process inefficiencies. 
• Lack of service/parts departments: Traditional DMS solutions often include modules irrelevant for many independents, adding cost without real benefit. 

Visit us at the event and discuss these or other challenges faced by your dealership.
