CARLOOM WELCOMES PIONEERING DEALERSHIPS AS FIRST PARTNERS ON REVOLUTIONARY AUTOMOTIVE PLATFORM

JOHANNESBURG, MAY 16, 2025 — Carloom, South Africa's innovative dealership-only automotive marketplace, today announced its first cohort of early adopter dealerships who have joined the platform ahead of its official launch on May 31, 2025.

These forward-thinking dealerships represent the quality and reputation that Carloom seeks to showcase on its exclusive platform. Their decision to partner with Carloom demonstrates strong industry confidence in the marketplace's vision to transform South Africa's automotive retail landscape.

"We are delighted to welcome on board our first early adopter dealerships, who chose to believe in us as we embark on this amazing journey," said Malcolm Mabaso, founder and CEO of Carloom. "Their trust in our vision validates our approach to creating a premium automotive marketplace that benefits both dealerships and buyers alike."

Each partner dealership has undergone Carloom's rigorous verification process, ensuring they meet the marketplace's high standards for vehicle quality, customer service, and business practices. These pioneering dealerships will have the opportunity to shape the platform's development and future enhancements through direct feedback channels with the Carloom team.

The early adopter program provides participating dealerships with several exclusive benefits, including premium placement during the platform's launch period, participation in Carloom's upcoming marketing campaigns, and special invitation to the official launch event in Johannesburg.

Buyers will gain access to these verified dealerships when Carloom launches at the end of May, offering a curated selection of quality vehicles backed by reputable businesses. The platform's innovative technology will make connecting with these trusted dealers seamless and efficient.

Following the success of signing these initial partners, Carloom continues its selective invitation process for additional quality dealerships that align with its vision for transforming automotive retail in South Africa.
