Direct-to-Customer Online Car Sales

1-1 online car sales experiences

ZeroLight's direct-to-customer online car sales solution offers a seamless blend of 1-1 dealership intimacy and digital convenience, transforming the car-buying experience into an enjoyable and personalised journey.

Through shared configuration sessions, product experts can lead customers around an interactive digital twin of a vehicle in real time, exploring every feature in photorealistic detail and helping them confidently refine their preferences.

This interactive format brings the best elements of an in-person showroom directly to the customer, enabling engaging demonstrations and meaningful conversations that build trust and understanding.

When an online sales session ends, the customer is given a frictionless path to reservation, with the option to secure their configured vehicle immediately or take away a personalised, interactive brochure to aid their decision-making at their own pace.
