Drivvn

What Drivvn does

Drivvn is a UK-based software company that builds a modular eCommerce platform purpose-built for the automotive retail industry. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Birmingham, the company sells a cloud-native platform composed of plug-in components — Engage, Offer, Personalise, Capture, and Assist — plus a Storefront Insight analytics layer. The platform supports both B2C and B2B storefronts with real-time offer engines, personalised finance workflows, vehicle configuration tools, and lead capture, and is delivered as a fully managed service with hosting, integration, and 24/7 support. Drivvn serves three primary customer segments: automotive OEMs (Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo, Ford, Stellantis), leasing and mobility providers (Leasys), and automotive retailers. As of 2024, the platform hosted 100+ live eCommerce channels across 16 brands in 9 countries and processed 166,590 orders with £3.6 billion in total order value. Drivvn holds ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 compliance certifications and operates offices in Birmingham, London, and Shanghai.

The company monetizes through annual subscription licensing on a quote-based enterprise model, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales supported by a dedicated partnership team that handles onboarding, integration, and ongoing optimization. There is no public evidence of external funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investor participation; Drivvn appears to be operating as a privately held, founder-owned or bootstrapped entity. Reported customer-outcome metrics include 7x more enquiries with a 55% reduction in cost per lead, 70% of users completing checkout in under four minutes, and a 120% increase in finance applications following activation of the used car leasing feature.

Broad incumbents

• Cox Automotive: Cox Automotive is the dominant incumbent in automotive retail technology, offering Dealertrack, Manheim, and a broad suite of dealer and OEM digital retailing tools. Directly comparable to Drivvn as a provider of digital retailing platforms to OEMs and dealer networks, but at significantly larger scale and breadth.
• Salesforce Commerce Cloud: Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a broad enterprise commerce platform actively used in automotive retail. While not automotive-specialised, it competes with Drivvn for OEM and large-dealer digital storefront mandates and has materially larger engineering and sales resources.
• Adobe Commerce: Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento) is a horizontal enterprise commerce platform used by OEMs and large automotive retailers for storefront, order management, and personalisation. It overlaps with Drivvn's modular storefront capability but lacks automotive-specific ratebook and finance workflows.
• Shopify: Shopify is a horizontal commerce platform increasingly used by automotive retailers and dealer groups for online storefronts. While not automotive-specialised, it competes on ease of use and time-to-launch against Drivvn's lower-end retailer segment.

Direct peers

• Roadster: Roadster provides a digital retailing platform for automotive dealers and OEMs, covering online vehicle configuration, financing, and deal structuring. It is the closest direct peer to Drivvn in vertical SaaS for automotive eCommerce, with overlapping product scope and customer type.
• AutoFi: AutoFi offers a digital retailing and finance platform enabling online vehicle purchase, financing, and F&I workflows for dealerships and OEMs. Directly comparable to Drivvn's Capture, Personalise, and Offer modules, particularly around online credit decisioning and deal structuring.
• CarNow: CarNow provides digital retailing, live engagement, and desking tools for automotive dealers and OEM programs. It overlaps directly with Drivvn on real-time offer surfacing, lead capture, and in-showroom sales support tooling for the same OEM/dealer customer base.

Emerging players

• BigCommerce: BigCommerce is a mid-market enterprise commerce platform with automotive retail customers. It competes with Drivvn on store-front flexibility and integrations but without automotive-specific real-time offer and finance modules.

Regional players

• AutoTrader UK: AutoTrader UK is the leading UK automotive marketplace and increasingly offers digital retailing tools to dealers and OEMs. It overlaps with Drivvn's UK retailer customer base on lead capture and listing-to-purchase conversion.
• carsales.com: carsales.com is a leading APAC automotive marketplace operator that has expanded into dealer SaaS and digital retailing solutions. It is comparable to Drivvn as a vertical automotive digital platform provider, though primarily serving APAC rather than UK/Europe.
