Networks for workshop, showroom and yard, that actually work together.
Diagnostic equipment, manufacturer portals, point-of-sale systems and customer data all place different demands on the same network. We design IT infrastructure for car dealerships and garages that keeps these areas separate yet connected.

What network does a car dealership or garage need for workshop and sales?
A car dealership or garage needs separate segments for workshop, sales, office and guest Wi-Fi rather than a single flat network, because diagnostic tools, point-of-sale systems and customer data each carry different security and stability requirements. Diagnostic and inspection systems often run on older, manufacturer-mandated operating systems and should never sit unprotected next to accounting and customer records. Manufacturer portals and their remote access need controlled, time-limited connections instead of permanently open ones. NDVDL designs and builds networks for dealerships, garages and fleet operators in Vienna, Lower Austria and Slovakia that keep workshop, sales, office and yard cleanly separated while still working together.
Common problems in dealerships and garages
Failure patterns that keep coming up in sales and the workshop.
Workshop, showroom and office share one network
Diagnostic tools, point-of-sale systems in the showroom and guest Wi-Fi often run over the same line as accounting and customer records. A problem at a single lift or a customer's phone on guest Wi-Fi can then slow down the entire operation.
Diagnostic equipment runs on systems nobody wants to touch
Manufacturer requirements often tie diagnostic and inspection equipment to specific, older operating systems that cannot simply be patched. Left unprotected on the general network, one outdated machine becomes an open door into the rest of the business.
Cameras on the yard run without clear privacy boundaries
Vehicle storage, parts storage and the wash bay need protection against theft and damage, but staff and customer areas cannot simply be filmed without limits. Without deliberate camera placement and retention periods, a CCTV system quickly raises more data-protection questions than it answers.
An outage stops bookings and workshop intake immediately
Appointment booking and vehicle intake depend on the same systems that also run diagnostics and customer records. When the network or server goes down, both stop at once, with no separate fallback.
IT infrastructure for dealerships and garages
Concrete building blocks for workshop, sales, office and yard.
Separate network segments for workshop, sales and office
We design and build networks where diagnostic equipment, point-of-sale systems, guest Wi-Fi and accounting each get their own, isolated segment. A problem in one area – an infected diagnostic tool, for example – stays contained instead of spreading across the business.
Firewall rules for manufacturer portals and remote access
We configure firewalls so that remote access from manufacturers and diagnostic providers only reaches the systems and time windows it is actually needed for. Warranty processing and software updates stay possible without leaving a connection permanently open.
Wi-Fi coverage across the workshop, showroom, storage and yard
We survey and design Wi-Fi coverage for the workshop hall, showroom, storage areas and yard so diagnostic devices, intake tablets and customer Wi-Fi all work reliably, separate from the internal business network. Metal walls, lifts and large hall areas are accounted for in the design.
Camera systems for the yard, storage areas and wash bay
We design CCTV for vehicle storage, parts storage, the wash bay and the yard so theft and damage become visible while staff and customer areas stay within data-protection limits. Camera position, field of view and retention periods are agreed upfront, not corrected afterwards.
Server infrastructure and ongoing support for customer data and vehicle history
We build server rooms and infrastructure that keep customer data, vehicle history and workshop records reliably backed up, and provide ongoing support rather than only reacting when something breaks. That keeps booking and workshop intake running even as data volumes grow.
Connecting dealer management, parts and accounting systems
We connect existing systems such as dealer management, parts management and accounting over a shared, secured network foundation, including across multiple locations and branch workshops. Data then moves between systems without every location maintaining its own separate setup.

What projects look like in practice
Three recurring project shapes from dealerships and garages.
Connecting a new branch workshop to the existing network
A dealership opens a second workshop location and wants bookings, customer data and parts management available centrally. We plan the network connection between locations, set up the separation of workshop, sales and guest networks at the new site, and connect the existing systems.
Securing diagnostic equipment and manufacturer portals
A garage runs several brand-specific diagnostic tools with different manufacturer requirements and needs regular remote access from those manufacturers. We build a network segment that separates these devices and connections from the rest of the IT and configure the firewall accordingly.
Adding CCTV for the yard and storage areas
A business wants to protect vehicle storage, parts storage and the yard after repeated incidents, without unnecessarily filming staff or customer areas. We plan camera positions, network connectivity and storage together with the business and set retention periods according to data-protection requirements.
