Built for how dealership BDCs actually run.
Sales inquiries and lead qualification
AI answers questions about inventory, specs, and trim levels, then qualifies purchase timeline and budget so only serious buyers reach your BDC.
Test drive scheduling
AI checks sales rep availability and vehicle location, books the test drive, sends SMS confirmation, and notifies the assigned salesperson.
Trade-in valuation intake
AI captures year, make, model, mileage, and condition for initial valuation. Routes qualified trade-ins to the used car desk before the visit.
Service department routing
AI distinguishes service calls from sales calls. Books maintenance, recall work, and warranty appointments, or routes straight to the service writer.
Financing pre-qualification
AI gathers basic financial information and purchase timeline, then routes qualified buyers to the F&I team with the context already captured.
CRM handoff
AI writes every call directly into your DMS and CRM. No missed follow-ups, no lost leads, no double entry from the BDC team.

What you get from us
Your partner, not just a tool.
Every dealership runs differently. We build around your inventory feed, your BDC scripts, and your sales process. Not a self-serve template you configure alone.
Week 1
Discovery and configuration
We map your inventory feed, DMS, sales process, and escalation rules. We listen to recent calls to learn how your BDC actually speaks to buyers.
Week 2
Build and test
We build your AI, connect it to your DMS and CRM, and run test calls through realistic buyer scenarios. You review recordings and tell us what to fine-tune before go-live.
Ongoing
Weekly calibration
Your account manager reviews call transcripts weekly, updates the agent as your inventory and promotions evolve, and flags any conversation that needs your attention. Not a ticket queue.
Integrations
Connects to the tools your dealership already uses.
AI writes leads, test drives, and follow-ups straight into your stack. No double entry, no CSV imports.
Plus 7,000+ apps via Zapier, Make, and n8n. If your system has an API, we connect it.
Enhanced handoff
How the handoff works.
When a buyer needs a sales rep, AI does not just transfer. It briefs them first, so the buyer never repeats themselves.
Answers inventory questions, books test drives, captures trade-in details, sends SMS confirmation.
No repeating. AI stays on to book the test drive afterwards.
