Make the move to Online Motor Trading with KLot .

Following on from our data-driven, self-managed online shopping package "KShop", KimSim Design & Media have taken two new open-source packages and brought them together to form KLot. KLot is a completely web-based data-driven product for the online motor trader. It has never been so easy to get your motor dealership online.

KLot can be tailored to just about any kind of motor retailer, whether it be cars, commercials, motorcycles, scooters, boats, trailers, caravans, or motorhomes.
If it moves, KLot can list it! You can even mix and match vehicle classes, so a motor trader who sells cars and caravans can list them all, literally with just a few mouse clicks.

As Klot is a data-driven product, the site you build is completely searchable. Visitors to your online forecourt can search for vehicle makes, fuel type, price ranges, model, or even transmission type. Needless to say, users can also search for any combination of these fields, so if they are looking for something specific like a Fiat Punto with petrol engine and manual gearbox between £2000 and £3000, they can do so.

As part of the package, you will receive 12 months of hosting on proven, reliable, fast web servers from one of Europe's most trusted web hosts, as well as a printed reference manual and on-site training on how to use the package. Training will be given to one person as part of the package, but extra training can be arranged for other employees and agents of required. No knowledge of website coding or html is required, neither is any specialist software. All you need is an internet connection (even dial-up will do), an upto-date web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, and a digital camera.

KLot can be supplied in two different licenced forms, End User, or Fully Managed.
KLot is actually designed to be a self-managed product. You, the motor trader, will be surprised just how easy it is to add listing categories, new listings, change prices, and add featured vehicles. We can also supply the product as a Fully Managed service, where we take care of everything for you if you wish.

You don't need any web design or html coding skills to be able to run your online business.

Fully Managed

We recommend the Fully-Managed option if you are totally new to PCs or the internet, or have limited time or staff resources.

The benefits af KLot are too numerous to list individually, but here's a few important features to whet your appetite:



  • Searchable database of vehicles.
  • Vehicles can be indexed in categories and appear in multiple categories.
    For example, a cabriolet can appear in "cars" and also in "cabriolets".
  • The database can contain an unlimited number of vehicles and categories, so you are not just restricted to cars or motorcycles.
  • The whole website content can be edited by the end user. You can add and amend new articles, press releases, career opportunities, events, and contact details, as and when you wish. Your KLot site isn't just an online catalogue, it's your complete online presence, and you have the tools in front of you to add as much or as little to it as you wish.
  • An Email contact link appears on each vehicle page, so prospective customers can contact you for further information on that specific vehicle or request a test drive.
  • Any vehicle can be "featured" to give it extra emphasis on your home page. Got a bright pink Austin Allegro you can't shift? Increase your chances, get it noticed!
  • Lots more!
