A dealer network refers to a group or system of businesses that work together to sell and distribute products, often automobiles. These businesses are authorized by the manufacturer to represent their brand and sell their vehicles in specific regions. The dealerships within this network typically have exclusive territories so they do not compete with each other for customers. Manufacturers provide support and training to these dealers to ensure that they meet certain standards, maintain inventory levels, and offer quality customer service. In return, the manufacturer benefits from having a wide reach through its dealer network, while the individual dealerships benefit from the association with the well-known brand name.
