1
platform, built once
Today
Vehicles are typed into KEYper Go by hand or bulk-loaded from a DMS export before a key can be attached to a FOB. It is slow and error-prone, and KEYper Go drifts away from the DMS — the system dealers trust.
Tomorrow, with AXLE
KEYper Go receives vehicles automatically from the DMS and stays in sync as they change.
Chapter 02 · What AXLE is
Dealer systems (DMS)
AXLE · integration core

How to read it
Built once
Reused by every DMS and phase.
Agnostic on both ends
Any DMS in, any key system out, through one common vehicle model.
Operated, not just delivered
No infrastructure for KEYper to run, full freedom: containers, installers and source code delivered under the Framework Agreement.
Chapter 03 · Phase 1 · scope
Create
New or used vehicle enters stock, or a service booking is created → Asset created in KEYper Go with VIN as key, searchable name per dealer convention, make/model/colour/references in attributes.
Update
Registration plate assigned, data changes → Asset updated automatically.
Archive & reactivate
Vehicle sold or leaves · vehicle returns → Archived and kept, ready to reactivate when it returns.

Chapter 04 · Roadmap
Platform + Keyloop
The integration core and the first DMS connector, live in the UK.
Priced: Fixed price
One connector each
Standard or complex connectors added to the same core.
Priced: Assessment/discovery first, then fixed price
Key status back to the DMS
Current key status in the DMS: in/out, holder, time, vehicle location.
Priced: Discovery first, then fixed price
Key operations without opening KEYper Go
An operations API — list free FOBs, attach/detach, reserve/release — with VOLONIA as LEGNA's voice/WhatsApp channel. The DMS-side button belongs to the DMS vendor.
Priced: Design first, then fixed price

Vendor logos are the property of their owners and are shown for identification only.
Standard = documented API, direct access, cloud. Complex = intermediary, certification or per-dealer installation. Readings are provisional until the vendor confirms in writing. Other names on the list (Fleetback/Sharebox, vAutoStock, TKP, JobRouter, Evosec, Salesforce, Avanti, Hillmark) are other systems, so they sit outside this table.

The platform and Keyloop are the decision today; further options are separate orders.
AXLE platform + Keyloop connectorEUR 35,200 net
The decision today
Stage 0, integration core, Keyloop connector, live UK pilot and 3 months hypercare.
Each DMS adds a connector; groups of three Standard connectors receive the block price.
Vendor logos are the property of their owners and are shown for identification only.
Loco-Soft and Quiter count as Standard for this estimate; their reading and price remain subject to assessment.
3 Standard connectors ordered together: block price applies automatically.
Add key status or operations API design later, under separate orders.
EUR 24,800 net with Keyloop

Build priced in the design.
The monthly fee follows the number of connected dealership sites, not cabinets.
Stage A ≤3
EUR 650 / month
Stage B ≤15
EUR 950 / month
Stage C ≤40
EUR 1,600 / month
Stage D ≤80
EUR 2,400 / month
Above 80 dealerships: EUR 2,400 + EUR 30 per additional dealership. Stage A · EUR 650 / month.
One connected dealership = one dealership site whose DMS is synchronised through AXLE, whatever the number of cabinets.
Cloud hosting of AXLE (isolated production and test environments), encrypted credentials, backups, monitoring and alerting, security and platform updates, adaptation to minor API changes of connected systems, second-line support to the KEYper team, service objective 99.5% (A/B) / 99.7% (C/D)
New connectors, new phases or new functionality (separate orders); DMS vendor fees (Keyloop, Cross… paid by KEYper); first-line support to dealers (KEYper's)
Billed quarterly in advance from the first full month after hypercare · 12-month minimum · stage change by written agreement
Chapter 08 · Vendor costs
Keyloop
Certification GBP 5,000 first market + 1,000 per additional market · minimum GBP 25 per activated site per year · revenue share 20–30% of what KEYper invoices dealers.
Cross (quote received via a VW subsidiary; terms unconfirmed)
EUR 12,000 connection · 18,000/yr maintenance · 3,000/month API · 4 per transaction.
Figures as reported by the KEYper team and public sources, November 2026. Nextlane, incadea, Pentana, Helios, Loco-Soft, Quiter, movec and Pinewood do not publish terms; to be requested in writing. The GBP 500 site fee is a placeholder.
Chapter 09 · Business case
Assumptions are placeholders for KEYper EMEIA to replace; LEGNA has no visibility of KEYper's prices or margins.
What decides the case is KEYper's penetration on each DMS and the vendor's own fees, more than the connector price.
Managed service is shared equally across included DMS. Average connected sites over the horizon = end sites ÷ 2.

Annex · VOLONIA, the Digital Brain (future, not included)
Knowledge lives in the system, not in people's heads: vehicles, keys, processes, who may do what, what happened before. Every answer and every action feeds it back, so the brain gets better with use.
Understands and replies in the user's language and register — a mechanic's shorthand, a manager's question, a customer's message — and learns each person's way of speaking.
WhatsApp, Teams, Telegram, voice notes, phone, web chat: the same brain behind all of them, with the same permissions and the same audit trail.
Customers (where is my car, when is it ready), staff (where is the key, reserve it, who has it), managers (what is out after closing, what happened with that vehicle). Per-dealership authorisation, user attribution, every action logged through AXLE.
Illustrative. Names, plates and times are fictional.
0 / 8 messages
The note is transcribed and understood (intent: locate key + reserve; entities: colour, model, plate, time).
AXLE's common vehicle model maps plate → VIN → asset (Keyloop today; any connected DMS tomorrow).
Cabinet, slot, in/out status and last movement, read through the KEYper connector.
Reserve, release, attach/detach, with per-dealership authorisation, user attribution and audit.
WhatsApp, Teams or voice; every action is logged in AXLE's audit trail.
AXLE supplies the vehicle data from the DMS, the key status from KEYper Go and, with Phase 3, the operations API. VOLONIA sits on top and always works through AXLE's authorisation and audit
Phase 1 in production; Phase 2 for key status; Phase 3 for actions. Offered under its own agreement; nothing here is priced
Not a DMS button; not a replacement for KEYper Go; not included in Phase 1
