“Blinker’s cutting-edge technology and out of the box solution is already empowering dealers around the country, and our partnership will see car subscription made even more accessible for consumers who expect a convenient, seamless digital experience.”
Managing Director at Blinker, Michael Higgins said: “Our dealer customers have seen strong growth in the number of drivers looking to subscribe for their next car, and they want the ability to incorporate Blinker’s subscription as a core function of their business”.
“This partnership with Dealer Solutions will provide our customers with a seamless out-of-the-box integration, so they can offer the car subscription solution to more Australian drivers directly from their dealership websites.”
According to Higgins, car subscription services such as HelloCars are becoming an increasingly popular option for consumers who want a more flexible alternative to traditional car ownership.
Blinker provides a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for car dealerships, resellers, and manufacturers, to offer their own vehicle subscription services to customers. The end-to-end platform provides partners with "subscription in a box," including the software, training and services needed to offer the service to customers.
