Hexon is a company based in the Netherlands which provides ICT services to the automotive industry. The main product of Hexon is a service called DV, previously known as Doorlinken Voorraad. The purpose of DV is to allow companies to automatically advertise their inventory on different sites (platforms), while striving for the best possible advertisement quality. DV is mainly sold by resellers who have integrated the service into their inventory management systems.
The system was created in 2002 when users of Motor 2K - a dealer management system Hexon created for the motorcycle industry - asked Hexon to publish their used motorcycles on the various occasion websites (platforms) on the internet. One year later, Hexon started developing Wheeler Delta, an advanced and user-friendly inventory management system. Both Motor 2K and Wheeler Delta use DV to allow users to advertise their inventory.
The first external inventory management system was connected to DV in 2004, and many others followed soon after. This enabled the users of these systems to make full use of DV as well. In the years that would follow the focus shifted to the further development of DV. New partnerships were created with software suppliers, and the network of available links to platforms grew substantially. Existing links are also continually updated and improved, allowing all advertising opportunities to be used to the fullest extent.
In 2024 Hexon launched ILSA, an highly optimized search API with a strong integration with DV, to provide automotive listing sites with the option to offload their backend tasks: receiving and processing data from DV, handling search queries, hosting vehicle images, et cetera.
New developments are planned based on input by clients, relations and Hexon's own long term goals, while also reserving time to handle day to day change requests. The account managent team sends out regular updates regarding these developments.
Hexon has set up an industry standard three tiered service desk to handle any questions or problems that might arise. The service desk is available by phone and email. Hexon uses a ticketing system (supportcalls) to keep track of ongoing issues. This system is also accessible by clients and relations.
