RTR Vehicles sells factory-engineered performance Mustangs through a nationwide dealer network, but shoppers had no unified way to find in-stock inventory near them. oContis built a Shopify-native dealer finder with metaobject architecture, VIN deduplication, and a CSV upload workflow the team can run bi-weekly without developer dependency.

The challenge

RTR Vehicles sells high-performance Ford Mustangs through a nationwide dealer network, but customers had no single place to discover what was available in market. Inventory lived across dealer sites, changed frequently, and needed a centralized, sortable experience that still routed buyers to the correct dealer for purchase.

The strategy

oContis designed a Shopify-native inventory system powered by metaobjects and a custom CSV upload workflow. Rather than managing individual product pages, dealer data aggregates into a dynamic listing experience the RTR team can maintain without ongoing developer involvement.

Results

RTR Vehicles now offers a scalable, maintainable inventory experience tailored to its dealer-led business model. Customers get a clear, centralized view of available vehicles, while the internal team manages updates through a simple CSV workflow with no developer dependency for ongoing inventory refreshes.
