You can relate multiple stakeholders to an asset during the asset's lifecycle. For example, a car can be related to the dealers who sell the car, the service dealers who repair and maintain the car, and the customer who purchases the car. If the car is used or refurbished, you can also track the financiers and the consultants who help with trade-in transactions.

# Create Asset Account Participants in Automotive Cloud

Use Asset Account Participant records to relate every asset in your org—a vehicle, a part, or an accessory—to relevant Account records. You can relate multiple stakeholders to an asset during the asset's lifecycle. For example, a car can be related to the dealers who sell the car, the service dealers who repair and maintain the car, and the customer who purchases the car. If the car is used or refurbished, you can also track the financiers and the consultants who help with trade-in transactions.

You can create relationship cards to capture key information about asset account participants and add the cards on the Vehicle record page layout to get information in context. Or, use the Actionable Relationship Center graph to visualize related stakeholders.
