Turn every showroom visit and service wait into a customer you can follow up
Branded guest WiFi that puts browsers and service customers into your CRM with consent, secure sign-in for sales and workshop staff, and a private key for every diagnostic tablet and showroom screen. One platform, on the access points you already own.
- Opted-in contacts sent to your CRM
- UK GDPR consent on every sign-up
- Staff sign-in with Entra ID or Google
- xPSK for workshop and showroom devices

Your showroom is full of buyers your CRM has never heard of
People walk the forecourt, sit in the cars and wait in the service lounge, and most leave without giving you a name or a reason to contact them again. Meanwhile the same network is carrying sales laptops, workshop kit and card terminals. That gap usually shows up in four places.
A typical dealership today
- A WiFi password on a card in the service lounge, and no idea who used it
- Showroom browsers who leave before anyone takes their details
- Sales and workshop staff sharing one password that never changes
- Diagnostic tablets, screens and card terminals on the same network as guests
With Purple
- A branded sign-in page in your dealership's colours, with consent captured as people connect
- Opted-in contacts go straight into your CRM for test-drive and service follow-up
- Staff sign in with their own work account, and leavers lose access the day they go
- Every device gets its own key and VLAN, kept apart from guest traffic
Showroom, service lounge, sales floor and workshop on one platform
Four jobs that usually mean four suppliers, run from one dashboard across every site in your group.
Guest WiFi that knows who is on site
A branded sign-in for browsers, test-drive customers and people waiting for their car, with UK GDPR consent.

03 · StaffSign in with the work account
Sales executives, service advisors and technicians connect with Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta.
04 · DevicesA private key for every device
xPSK gives diagnostic tablets, showroom screens, printers and card terminals their own key and VLAN.
Make the hour in the service lounge count
Service customers sit with a coffee for the length of an MOT or a service, and showroom browsers spend time in the cars before they talk to anyone. Purple gives them fast WiFi through a branded sign-in moment in your dealership's colours, and gives you a name, an email address and their consent to hear from you.
- Branded captive portal for each site, with UK GDPR consent and a full audit trail
- Email, social and form sign-in, with the questions your sales team wants answered
- Returning visitors recognised, so you know who came back for a second look
- DNS content filtering on the guest network, so the lounge stays family-friendly
Guest WiFiEvery new contact lands in the CRM your sales team already works from
Swansway Garages connected Purple to its main CRM through an API and gained a single source of truth for marketing. A quarter of the contacts captured on its WiFi were people the business had never heard of, which meant 6,250 new opted-in records in two years.
- Opted-in visitors sent to Salesforce, HubSpot, Mailchimp and 400+ other data connectors
- Consent recorded with every contact, ready for test-drive and service follow-up
- Visit history by site, so a second showroom visit can prompt a call from sales
- Email addresses verified at sign-up through NeverBounce, so follow-ups reach a real inbox
Swansway values each opted-in CRM record at £20, based on its conversion rates against an average car sale and service. On that basis its 6,250 new records were worth £125,000.

CRMStaff WiFi with no shared password to leak
Sales executives, service advisors, technicians and valeters come and go, often across several sites in a group. Purple lets each of them sign in with the work account they already use, and the network decides what they can reach from their group membership.
- Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta, synced over SCIM
- Leavers lose access the moment their account is disabled, with nothing to re-key
- Sales, workshop and office teams on separate VLANs with their own rules
- Every session logged against a named person, device, time and location
Staff WiFiA private key for everything that cannot sign in
Diagnostic tablets, workshop printers, showroom screens, card terminals and cameras cannot use a username and password. xPSK gives each one its own key and its own VLAN, so a leaked key affects one device, not the whole site, and guest traffic never touches the payment network.
- Card terminals on their own VLAN, kept apart from guests, as PCI DSS expects
- Revoke a single key without re-keying every device in the workshop
- Works under your vendor's name: iPSK on Cisco, DPSK on Ruckus, MPSK on HPE Aruba and Juniper Mist, PPSK on Extreme and UniFi
- No per-device licence and no cap on devices per key
xPSKWhat it takes to run it yourself, and what it takes with Purple
Everything a dealer group needs from its WiFi, delivered as a service on the hardware already in your showrooms and workshops.

WiFi that adds people to your CRM
Swansway Garages merged its Purple WiFi contacts with the 60,000 records in its main CRM, giving its marketing team one database to work from. Car sales and services drive its follow-up, so every new opted-in contact has a clear value.

Dealership WiFi questions, answered
What dealer principals, marketing and IT teams ask us most
Do we need to replace our access points?
No. Purple runs on the access points you already own, including Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cambium, Extreme and Fortinet. There is no on-site server to install.
Can each dealership have its own branded sign-in page?
Yes. Each site can have its own sign-in page, colours and questions, all managed from one dashboard across the group.
How do WiFi contacts get into our CRM?
Every visitor who opts in is sent to your CRM or email platform through 400+ data connectors, including Salesforce, HubSpot and Mailchimp, with their consent record attached. Swansway Garages used an API to merge its Purple contacts with its main CRM.
Is the data we collect UK GDPR compliant?
Yes. Visitors choose whether to opt in, and every consent is recorded with a full audit trail. Purple is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR and CCPA compliant.
What happens when a member of staff leaves?
When their account is disabled in Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace or Okta, SCIM revokes their WiFi access automatically. There is no shared password to change across the site.
How do diagnostic tablets, screens and card terminals connect?
With xPSK. Each device gets its own key and VLAN, bound to the first device that uses it and kept apart from guest traffic. You can revoke one key without touching any other device.
Can we run Purple across a whole dealer group?
Yes. Purple is licensed per access point and per venue, and every site is managed from one dashboard, so a new dealership can be added without a new project.
