— 01 / WHY PARTNER WITH US —

Three reasonsthat move the needle.

More dealers transact more often

SENTINEL lowers the cost of bidding decisions. Dealers that join Trader bid on 3-4× more listings than before. Volume on your platform goes up.

Protected from amateur scrapers

We don't scrape. We sign API agreements, respect rate limits, identify ourselves with RSA-4096, and absorb the bot traffic that hits your platform.

Compliance-grade auditability

Every bid we relay carries a cryptographic origin signature. If something goes wrong, we can prove who decided what, when, with which authorization.

— 02 / THREE INTEGRATION MODES —

From real-time APIto embedded marketplace.

API

Direct REST / GraphQL

OAuth2 + signed requests. Real-time inventory + bidding. Webhook callbacks for status changes. Production SLA negotiated.

EDI

Batch + scheduled

EDI X12 / proprietary format. Hourly or daily batch. Best for legacy platforms or large catalog drops.

EMBED

Embedded marketplace

We white-label your inventory inside SENTINEL Trader UI. Revenue share on transactions. Branded co-marketing.
