Preliminary information :
If you have several envelopes sharing the same DLU, for the creation of a new dealer you have to create it first on the envelope owner. Once the new dealer is created on the owner you can create it on the envelope owned (and matching it with the one in the envelope owner).
If you have several envelopes, you can add a new dealer on one or all the envelopes.
In the DLU you can create a dealer in two different ways :
1. Manual way :
Go on "Your Network" -> "Point of sale", click on "Add new point of sale"
Enter your dealer data in the dedicated fields. The minimum mandatory data fields are name, address, postcode and city.
Then, you should match your dealer with the existing database.
If you just want to create a dealer in your database without looking for data inheritance from a specific database :
You should select the correct dealer in the list displayed if your dealer is present. If it is not, you can create a new dealer by clicking on the last option at the bottom of the list. The dealer will be created with the information you filled just before in the form about dealer creation.
You will be the owner of this dealer. Fields are fully editable :
The same dealer might be twice in the list (previous duplication of it in the database) : please choose the one with the most relevant datas.
If you want to create a dealer in your database while looking for data inheritance from a specific database :
In this case, you should see your dealer in the list of proposed matches :
- If you only see your dealer once, this should be the one you aim to match.
- If your dealer is displayed twice in the proposition list, select the dealer with the most relevant data depending on the dealer you are aiming to match.
In all cases, if you aim to match a specific dealer from another database, please check that the matching is effective. You can either check that your new dealer contains correct additionnal data that you didn't enter by yourself, or ask the owner to modify some field and check if the modification is reflected on your side.
Once it is done, just validate and the dealer will be added on your dealer list.
You will not be the owner of the dealer but you will be able to overload data as you can see it with the pencil icon, you can click on it to update data (the modified information will then appear in blue) :
If this dealer is meant to be owned by another envelop, you can check the correct matching by updating data from the owner and checking that the referent is well receiving the update. If this is not the case, contact the support.

Visibility toggle
Last but not least, in order for the dealer to be visible in the dealer locator, you must switch the dealer visibility toggle to ON. You can do it in 2 ways :
- on the dealer list
- or in the dealer detail
Marketing tags
Dealers must have marketing tags configured, you can done it manually or by import at any time.
If your country is already on NextGen, this will be taken into account almost immediately on Michelin website. If it is an A3 site, please allow 48 hours.
For more information, please consult the article about visibility.
2. By massive import :
In order to create dealer by massive import, you can follow the documentation “massive
export_import process” and add the below steps :
When you are updating your database in the excel file, you can add news rows below the existing ones and complete the datas in the dedicated columns.
Minimum mandatory data fields are : name, address, postcode and city.
We advise you to also fill the following column if you want dealers to be displayed on Michelin website :
-
the visibility of dealer named "active" ; empty field is = no, filled with x = yes
-
marketing tags (depending on the public B2B or B2C ; brand ; vehicle type etc)
-
network if there is one (not mandatory but it permits the dealer to be filtered and displayed with the corresponding logo network)
You should not enter DLU id as your dealer doesn't exist at the moment.
During step 6 of “massive export_import process”, you will have dealers either as "Create" or "Need
configuration".
Dealers as "Create" are dealers with no potential match in the database and will be new dealers by default. No action is required.
For each dealer as "Need configuration" you can either click on "Select all one match" and all dealers with only one possible match will be matched, or for the other dealers, you can click on "Manage" and select the correct match.
Our recommendation is to match the dealer with the one which have the most data and the data the most reliable :
As a reminder, you should select the correct dealer in the list displayed if yours is present. If there is not, you can create a new dealer by clicking on the last option at the bottom of the list.
Note that :
When a dealer is created in your envelope, this dealer is not linked with a Yext/GMB page by default. This link should be done by adding a "Yext ID".
For that, at the end of the creation of the dealer on the BO on the owner side :
1. create a zendesk ticket to ask it to the Tyredating SDO team
2. implement the Yext ID on the dealer page in the back office, erp code list.
If you have any problem, create a ticket on zendesk !
