Tekion's Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) is a cloud-native dealer management system that runs sales, service and inventory for the modern dealership on a single platform. Connecting your ecos key cabinet to Tekion puts the same vehicle information the dealership works from right at the point where keys are handed out — so every key can be matched to the exact vehicle it belongs to, quickly and without guesswork.
GENERAL INTEGRATION
Tekion's Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) is a cloud-native dealer management system that runs sales, service and inventory for the modern dealership on a single platform. Connecting your ecos key cabinet to Tekion puts the same vehicle information the dealership works from right at the point where keys are handed out — so every key can be matched to the exact vehicle it belongs to, quickly and without guesswork.
How it works
Configure the Tekion API connection, granting ecos access through Tekion's Automotive Partner Cloud and entering the credentials that authenticate ecos webman.
Enable the vehicle inventory sync so the cabinet reads Tekion's stock and identifies each vehicle by its VIN.
ecos refreshes vehicle data on a set schedule, keeping make, model, colour and licence plate current as inventory changes.
Every key issue and return is logged against the matching vehicle, giving a clear record of who took which key.
Key Features
Base vehicle data at the cabinet
The core details of each vehicle — VIN, make, model, colour and licence plate — are pulled from Tekion and shown at the ecos key cabinet, so staff always see exactly which vehicle a key belongs to.
Automatic inventory sync
As vehicles arrive, sell, or move in Tekion, the cabinet updates automatically, so the keys on hand always reflect the dealership's current stock rather than a snapshot that quickly goes stale.
Faster, more accurate key control
Because keys are tied to real vehicle data, staff can search by VIN, model or plate to find and release the right key in seconds — cutting the time spent hunting for keys on a busy lot.
Key-to-vehicle traceability
Each withdrawal and return is recorded against a specific vehicle, giving the dealership a reliable audit trail of key movements for accountability and loss prevention.
Every key matched to the right vehicle.
Sync Tekion's vehicle data straight to the ecos key cabinet — VIN, make, model, colour and licence plate on hand — for faster, more accurate key control across the dealership.
