Mazda Case Study - Car Dealer and Partner Integration enabled by Vordel

Mazda uses Vordel infrastructure for implementing B2B communications with car dealers and partners. The goal is to improve business efficiency at dealerships and head office by reducing the double keying of information, and to provide streamlined access to multiple sources of information via one interface. A full case study is available on the Vordel website.

The information exchanged relates to vehicle sales, reservations, model and pricing information to ensure that Mazda and dealer systems are always complete and up to date.

The data exchanged is XML, coming from partners and suppliers (shown at the top of the diagram below), and car dealers (shown at the left of the diagram below). The Vordel Gateways were deployed on Sun Solaris machines running on SPARC.
