Automotive and Transportation Web Development

Dealer networks and industrial operations run on coordination: plans across locations, photos from every event, safety numbers by department. 84EM builds the portals and automation that keep that work out of email threads and spreadsheets.

Dealer network portals

Planning, announcements, and reporting for every location in one place, with role-based access.

Files that file themselves

Event photos and application files uploaded once, processed automatically, and stored where they belong.

Safety and compliance reporting

Regulatory metrics calculated by department and delivered every morning without anyone compiling them.

Legacy systems consolidated

Separate tools and a legacy platform rebuilt into one portal with a single view across the network.

A network is only as coordinated as the tools behind it

Dealer networks and transportation businesses spread work across regions, locations, and departments. When planning, photos, announcements, and safety data each live in a different tool, nobody has the full picture and the admin work multiplies with every location.

84EM rebuilt a luxury automotive dealer network’s marketing operations into one WordPress portal, automated daily workplace safety reporting across four regulatory categories for an industrial operation, and automated application file processing so staff stopped downloading and re-uploading every submission.

What does a dealer network portal replace?

For the dealer network, it replaced a hybrid of a legacy events platform and WordPress, separate photo handling, and announcements sent over email threads. Dealers now plan events on an interactive calendar with quarterly planning tools and cost tracking, and regional managers filter activity by region, dealer, event type, and vehicle target.

Hundreds of event photos upload in one batch with automatic optimization and cloud storage. A bulletin board with read tracking became the main channel for dealer announcements across the nationwide network, so management can confirm who has seen what.

Reporting that arrives on its own

The industrial operation tracks injury-free days for each department across federal and state regulatory categories. Stakeholders get a formatted report every morning and a live internal dashboard, replacing a multi-person manual process.

The same pattern applies to marketing spend: the dealer portal’s quarterly reports compare actual against estimated cost by region, dealer, and event type, and go out by email with expiring download links.
