Novae Partners with Blackpurl to Launch Trailer Connect Plus (TCP+), an Exclusive Trailer Integratio

Posted By: Caitlin Stephens Industry News,

Austin, TX - Blackpurl today unveiled Trailer Connect Plus (TCP+), a Novae-exclusive extension of Blackpurl's Trailer Connect Program that wires Novae's core systems directly into dealers' daily workflows in their dealership management software.

TCP+ gives Novae dealers four immediate wins: ordered units auto-appear and stay current in Blackpurl 2, warranty registration happens in-app and syncs back to Novae, sold units are automatically reported to AIMBase, and inventory and sales stay in sync with TrailerFunnel websites.

Blackpurl's Trailer Connect Program standardizes the flow of OEM product and order data into the dealership system. TCP+ goes further, connecting Novae's dealer portal systems to provide full integration for selling, registering, and marketing every unit. Among its many applications, TCP+ can transfer a VIN from the Novae factory invoice to the dealer’s website in near-real time.

"Dealers shouldn't be retyping data, and they shouldn't be rekeying it into three more systems after the sale," said Oliver Reelsen, CIO of Novae. "Now, Novae dealers can move faster, sell confidently, and keep everything accurate without the busywork."

"TCP+ is the most convenient integration in the industry, and Blackpurl stands ready to assist every Novae dealer," added Johnathan Aguero, SVP of Revenue at Blackpurl.

There are four big wins for Novae dealers:

1.    Order Updates in Blackpurl 2: When a dealer orders a Novae unit, it's automatically created and kept current in Blackpurl 2, with verified dates and auto-populated specs.

2.    In-App Warranty Registration: Dealers register warranties directly inside Blackpurl 2, synced with Novae to reduce friction and boost on-time registrations.

3.    Automatic AIMBase Connection: Sales flow straight into AIMBase, Novae's lead and marketing system, triggering the right follow-up automatically.

4.    TrailerFunnel Sync: Inventory and sales data stay aligned with TrailerFunnel, keeping listings and reporting accurate.

TCP+ is rolling out now for Novae dealers. Dealers carrying Novae brands can activate connectivity through Blackpurl 2 by contacting support@blackpurl.com or calling (833) 382-1008.
