手順How it works

Five stops from an auction in Japan to your door.

A dealer’s fortieth car takes the same path as a first-timer’s Skyline, Hiace or Land Cruiser. The app keeps track of where each car is on it and what comes next.

  1. 01

    Find

    A hunt searches the auctions through your own exporter accounts on a schedule, as often as every 3 hours. It reads each auction sheet and emails you when a match turns up.

  2. 02

    Bid

    You get a bid range from sold lots of the same generation and grade. The bid goes through your exporter, and the app writes the email for you to see before it goes.

  3. 03

    Customs

    A licensed broker clears the car. Kappa Customs is built in, or you can bring your own. Either way the app prepares the ISF and drafts every email to them.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Once it’s released at the port it needs a truck. Email your dispatcher, or line up quotes from uShip and Super Dispatch side by side.

  5. 05

    Landed cost

    Drop in the invoices and receipts. The app reads each cost line off its document for you to check, then adds them up per car.

安心Why it’s safe to hand it the car

Built so you stay in charge.

Your own exporter accounts

Searches and bids go through the accounts you open with Japan Car Direct, JDM Auc or Pacific Coast JDM. Right Hand DMS isn’t an exporter, so it never buys cars or holds your deposit.

Nothing goes out unseen

The app writes the emails to your exporter, your broker and your customers, and shows you each one before it goes out from your own mailbox. Automatic sheet requests run only on hunts where you’ve switched them on.

A licensed broker, built in

Kappa Customs Brokers, a licensed customs broker, is built in at a flat fee per vehicle that covers the ISF, the entry and the EPA/DOT forms. You can use your own broker instead.

Your data stays in your shop

Each shop’s cars, documents and customers are walled off from every other shop. Exporter logins and mailbox tokens are encrypted at rest, and we use them for your work and nothing else.
