Automotive software development for car dealers

Kateetti Oy is a Finnish software company specialized in the car trade. We do automotive software development for car dealers and finance companies: custom software, integrations and webshop features.

A packaged product rarely bends to your process. You need a workspace, search, a webstore extension or a link to the systems you already run, and a builder who does not vanish after launch.

We build the missing piece and keep it running. You get software that works the way you do business; we carry the releases and the upkeep. No server room needed. That is how the search watch came about: it alerts customers when a matching car arrives. More than 6,000 are already in use.

Our own services include the integration. If you need something else entirely, we build the software for your process. In production: Verkkokauppamaksu.fi, €350M in online payments and bookings, transport tendering, financing integrations, 39,000+ financing applications forwarded, and AI sales pitches, 12,000+ trade-in and condition assessments.

Tero Tähtinen was part of building the WebSales DMS. Alkali was sold to Alma Media in 2014, and the deal included WebSales, WebRent, WebLease and Wings. WebSales is Finland’s most used dealer system: 150,000 vehicles a year from 320 locations, Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Finland.

Kateetti tools are integrated into Alma Media WebSales. WebSales is an Alma Media product. DMS integrations and the WebSales integration are built into the system the dealer already runs. For system programmes, see DMS consulting.

More than 25 years in the car trade, on both the dealer and the lender side: DMS, vehicle sales, car finance, online payments, integrations, logistics and dealer webshops. Verkkokauppamaksu.fi is in production. We do not learn the industry on your project.
