Dealer Teamwork’s patented MPOP® technology and IPOP™ are changing how dealerships advertise, merchandise, and sell vehicles.

The automotive industry doesn’t have an advertising problem. It has a relevance problem. Dealerships have more technology, advertising channels, and data than ever before. Yet connecting shoppers with the right vehicle, the right offer, and an affordable payment remains a challenge.

Inventory is recovering, but affordability remains a concern. Financing is increasingly complex, and consumers often encounter inconsistent pricing and offers as they move from advertisements to dealership websites.

The market has changed. Consumer expectations have changed. But has dealership merchandising technology kept up?

At Dealer Teamwork, we believe the future isn’t about advertising more vehicles. It’s about making every vehicle, offer, and advertising dollar more relevant. That’s exactly what our patented MPOP® technology and IPOP™ were built to do.

More Inventory Doesn’t Mean More Affordability

According to Cox Automotive, new-vehicle inventory reached 2.8 million units in September 2026, with an 82-day supply. However, only 31% of available vehicles were priced below $40,000. Meanwhile, Kelley Blue Book reported an average new-vehicle transaction price of $50,562 in September. The industry has more vehicles available, but not necessarily more vehicles consumers can afford.

For dealerships, success requires more than generating traffic. It means identifying which vehicles need additional exposure, leveraging available incentives, and communicating affordability throughout the shopping experience.

A high-demand vehicle and an aging unit with attractive incentives shouldn’t receive identical advertising strategies. Yet traditional approaches often treat inventory as a collection of vehicles rather than individual merchandising opportunities.

Static Advertising Can’t Keep Up With a Dynamic Market

Inventory changes. Incentives expire. Pricing fluctuates. Financing programs shift. Yet advertisements, landing pages, and vehicle detail pages (VDPs) don’t always reflect those changes consistently.

Even as advertising platforms introduce more AI-driven automation, an automated advertisement is only as effective as the information powering it. When shoppers click an advertised offer and encounter different pricing or payments on the dealership’s website, confusion replaces confidence. Dealers need technology that connects inventory, incentives, pricing, payments, and advertising into one consistent shopping experience.

MPOP®: Smarter Automotive Merchandising

Dealer Teamwork’s patented MPOP® technology was built to address this disconnect. Rather than relying on static campaigns and manually maintained offers, MPOP® dynamically connects dealership inventory, pricing, and incentives with relevant digital advertising and landing page experiences.

The goal is simple: Connect what consumers are searching for with what dealerships actually have to offer.

Instead of sending shoppers to generic inventory pages, MPOP® helps create a more relevant journey from search to the dealership’s website. Built specifically for automotive retail, MPOP® addresses merchandising complexities that generic advertising platforms weren’t designed to handle. However, relevant advertising is only part of the equation. What happens after the click matters just as much.

IPOP™: Bringing Affordability Into the Shopping Experience

For many consumers, the most important question isn’t simply what a vehicle costs. It’s “What will my monthly payment be?” According to the September 2026 Dealertrack Credit Availability Index, credit approvals reached 73.9%, while loans longer than 72 months accounted for a record 31.8% of transactions measured by the index. Financing options may be expanding, but affordability remains a challenge.

That’s where IPOP™ (Intelligent Price, Offer, and Payment Management) comes in. IPOP™ extends Dealer Teamwork’s merchandising technology directly into the vehicle shopping experience, bringing relevant offers and payment information to individual vehicles.

With IPOP™, dealerships can:

• Display vehicle-specific payments directly on VDPs.
• Present private and unlockable offers to qualified shoppers.
• Support payment-driven shopping by making affordability information easier to find.
• Maintain consistent messaging from advertisements to landing pages and VDPs.
• Display applicable disclosures alongside offers and payments.
• Dynamically update merchandising as inventory, incentives, and pricing change.

Instead of making shoppers search for affordability information, IPOP™ brings it directly into the shopping experience.

Advertised payments remain subject to applicable assumptions, incentives, eligibility requirements, and disclosures. The goal is to provide useful information earlier while giving dealerships greater control over their merchandising strategy.

MPOP® + IPOP™: One Connected Shopping Experience

Individually, MPOP® and IPOP™ address important challenges in automotive retail. Together, they create a more connected path to purchase. MPOP® makes advertising more relevant. IPOP™ makes the shopping experience more actionable.

Imagine a shopper searching for a new SUV. They encounter an advertisement featuring relevant inventory and an available offer. When they click through, they find consistent pricing, payment information, and offers that help them evaluate their options. Instead of disconnected touchpoints, the advertisement, vehicle, offer, and payment work together.

For dealerships, this means less manual merchandising, greater consistency, more flexibility as inventory changes, and marketing strategies built around actual dealership opportunities.

Why Dealer Teamwork Is Different

Better automotive advertising requires more than automation. It requires technology that understands the relationship between inventory, OEM incentives, pricing, payments, consumer intent, and the dealership’s digital experience.

Dealer Teamwork’s patented MPOP® technology was built specifically for automotive merchandising. IPOP™ extends those capabilities into the vehicle shopping experience. Together, they connect what has traditionally operated independently:

Advertising. Inventory. Offers. Payments. Landing pages. Vehicle detail pages.

As AI transforms search and consumer expectations continue to evolve, that connection becomes increasingly important. AI can generate advertisements. Platforms can distribute inventory. Websites can display vehicles. But none of those capabilities alone ensures that shoppers receive accurate, relevant, and consistent offers. The intelligence isn’t simply in the automation. It’s in the technology connecting everything behind it.

The Future Isn’t More Advertising. It’s Smarter Merchandising.

The automotive market continues to evolve, but one thing is clear: disconnected advertising and merchandising strategies aren’t enough. Dealerships need technology that connects the right vehicle, the right offer, and the right payment throughout the consumer journey.

With patented MPOP® technology and IPOP™, Dealer Teamwork is helping dealerships move beyond static advertising toward a more relevant, dynamic, and payment-driven approach to automotive retail.

The automotive industry has spent years finding new ways to put vehicles in front of consumers. Dealer Teamwork is changing what happens when they get there.
