NETSOL heads to Digital Dealer 2026: Bringing Transcend Retail to Detroit
By NETSOL Technologies , on September 15, 2026
NETSOL is exhibiting at Booth 514 during the Digital Dealer Conference and Expo 2026 taking place next week from September 22-23 at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan.

Every dealership has the same story somewhere in its recent history: a customer who built out most of a deal online, arrived at the store excited to finish it and instead had to start over. A new form. A repeated credit pull. A different number on the desk than the one they saw on their phone. The deal didn't break because the customer changed their mind. It broke because the systems behind it never talked to each other.
That's the problem NETSOL is bringing to Detroit this month. From September 22-23, we're exhibiting at the Digital Dealer Conference and Expo 2026 at Booth 514, showcasing Transcend Retail, our digital retail platform built for dealer groups and dealerships who are done treating ‘online’ and ‘in-store’ as two separate businesses.
One connected journey across every brand
Multi-rooftop dealer groups live with a specific tension: every OEM has its own branding rules, its own approval workflows and its own way of doing things, but customers don't experience a dealership brand by brand. They experience one buying journey and they expect it to be consistent no matter which rooftop or region they're shopping in.
Transcend Retail is built around that reality. It delivers network-wide consistency across multi-brand, multi-OEM environments, while still leaving room for the local flexibility individual rooftops and regions actually need. The result is a platform that behaves like one coherent system, not a patchwork of one-off dealer configurations stitched together after the fact.
Simplified desking, faster decisions
Behind every quote a customer sees is a maze of lender programs, credit tiers and approval logic, and normally, untangling that maze is exactly what slows desking down. Transcend Retail's multi-lender orchestration routes deals through captive and non-captive programs, tiers and approvals automatically, with multiple configurable journeys built to move at the speed today's car buyers expect.
That same logic extends to payments. Taxes, fees, incentives, lender programs and credit come together in one transparent calculator, the kind both car buyers and dealers can actually trust, because everyone is looking at the same real numbers, not a rough estimate that changes once someone reaches the desk.
From first click to signed deal, without the restart
This is where Transcend Retail earns its name. A customer can start a deal online, walk into the dealership and pick up exactly where they left off, because the platform keeps deal state synced across every channel. No re-keying. No restarting a conversation the customer thought they'd already had.
That continuity carries all the way through the transaction. Trade-in valuations flow directly into the CRM and can push to the DMS to desk a deal and generate contracts, with no swivel-chair handoffs between systems. F&I products, add-ons, tax calculations and e-signatures are all built into the same flow, making the deal faster and easier for both customers and dealers.
And because Transcend Retail is API-first, it's built to plug into what a dealership already runs - DMS, CRM, F&I and credit systems, lender integrations and the state-level compliance requirements around taxes and incentives, rather than asking a dealer group to rip out their existing stack to adopt it.
Advanced analytics, actionable ops
Cross-rooftop visibility is where a lot of platforms stop short. Transcend Retail is built to give dealer groups a real view across the funnel, sales, F&I attachment and inventory health, alongside AI-powered ‘next best action’ recommendations drawn from shopper behavior and buying patterns, AI-assisted F&I upselling and an AI chatbot to keep customer communication moving between visits.
Proof, not just promise
Transcend Retail isn't a concept we're bringing to Detroit to pitch. It's already live and driving results for OEMs, dealer groups and dealers today. MINI USA's digital retail program, MINI Anywhere, runs on Transcend Retail and has delivered a 23% increase in average conversion rate from lead to sale over three years, a track record built on exactly the kind of consistent, connected retail experience Transcend Retail is designed to deliver at scale.
