Dealer Com Finops

FinOps view of Dealer.com spend. Dealer.com does not bill API access as a usage-metered developer product; there is no public per-call rate card. Cost is incurred through commercial agreements - the Dealer.com Integrated Partner Program and the Cox Automotive Integration Platform - and through Dealer.com's dealer-facing products (websites, digital advertising, digital marketing), which are sold on enterprise contracts. For a partner, the dominant cost is the negotiated partner/subscription agreement plus the partner's own engineering to build and maintain the integration, rather than variable per-request API charges.
