Where the work gets stuck

Your CRM holds the customer. The money leaks in the gaps around it: leads answered hours late, follow-up that stops after two calls, calls nobody listens to, ad spend nobody ties to a sale, and reports someone builds by hand every month.

  • Internet leads that wait until morning, or until someone is free
  • Sales calls that get recorded and never reviewed
  • Stop overpaying for vendors, so many of them are simple solutions that we can fully customize
  • Automatic reports: daily, weekly and monthly reports from your CRM, call platform and marketing accounts
  • Automated capturing and posting of social feeds from your team's phones

Build + support

You own it. We run it.

Stores like yours don't have people to manage automation, so we do both jobs. We build each piece in accounts you own, then manage the AI for a monthly fee. Starting at one point, usually Pocket CRM and call scoring, we add the next piece as you ask for it.

You own
  • The cloud account everything runs in
  • The code and the workflows
  • Your data, photos and call transcripts
  • The AI accounts and the keys to them
We run
  • Monitoring, day and night
  • Tuning the AI as your needs grow and change
  • Making sure your data and systems are secure and backed up
  • Making sure one employee isn't holding you hostage and one computer failure can't crash your business
  • Building the next thing you ask for
Works with what you already have

The simplest automation that works.

Your CRM, call platform and website are worth keeping. We work from the data they hold, through their APIs and feeds first and automation on the screen only where they stop.

  • DriveCentric
  • Elead
  • DealerSocket
  • vAuto
  • CallRail
  • Car Wars
  • CallRevu
  • Dealer.com

  • DealerOn

  • GA4 and Search Console

Where we'd leave things alone. Your CRM already sends templated follow-up, and tools like vAuto lead their categories. Your OEM-certified website handles inventory and keeps you eligible for co-op, so we work alongside it rather than replace it. If an AI chat or BDC product is already answering your leads and its data comes back to your CRM, keep it. We don't automate inside Facebook. Listings change through your feeds.

  1. 01

    Configure what you have

    Your platform may already do it. It just isn't set up for how you work.

  2. 02

    Connect your systems

    Tools that work fine on their own, joined so nobody retypes between them.

  3. 03

    Replace a narrow tool

    Where a costly subscription does a small, stable job, owning a replacement can win.

  4. 04

    Build custom

    When an important workflow needs something no product does at a sensible price.

Where to start

Start with Pocket CRM and call scoring.

Pocket CRM and Sales Call Scoring are the quickest places to see a difference, because both work from what your team already does every day: the leads, appointments, shows and sales they log, and the calls they take. We connect your CRM and call platform, set up the scorecard from your own checklist, and give managers current numbers and a short summary of the calls that need attention. Once it's running, we add the next piece.

FAQ

Questions people ask

What do we own, and what do you manage?
You own the cloud account, the code, the data and the AI accounts. We manage the AI for a monthly fee: monitoring, tuning, fixing what breaks when a feed or your CRM changes, and building what you ask for next. We'll quote the build and the monthly fee for your store before we start.
Will you replace our CRM?
No. It holds the customer and it's worth keeping. We build on the data it holds and take on the work it leaves to your people.
Do you need access to our DMS?
No. We work from your CRM, your inventory feeds, your call recordings and the reports you already export, so your DMS stays out of it.
Will AI talk to our customers?
Only where you want it to, in wording you approve. It answers questions from your inventory and books appointments. Pricing, payments, trades, credit and anything unclear go to a person.
How do you handle texting rules and call recording?
Texts go only to customers who agreed to them, with opt-outs honored at once, and we tune the timing and frequency from how people respond. Calls are transcribed from the recordings your call platform already makes. Some states, California among them, require everyone on a call to consent to recording, so we help you update your notice to cover AI. Your counsel has the final word on both.
We already pay for an AI BDC, call scoring or photo tool. Should we switch?
Not necessarily. If it works well and its data comes back to your CRM, keep it. We'll look at what it costs, what it leaves undone and whether owning that part makes sense for your store. Dealers can typically cut what they pay for these services in half.
Do you work with single stores and dealer groups?
Both. The SEO automation we built runs across seven dealership websites on three different platforms, and the same approach works for one rooftop.
Is this the same as the Fractional AI Automation Director?
They overlap. The monthly management here covers the system we build for your store. The retainer is broader: choosing and negotiating vendors, keeping your roadmap and AI use policy current and reporting to ownership. See the Fractional AI Automation Director page for the tiers.
What is DealerPointIQ?
It's our own iPhone app for dealership managers, with competitors' pricing, inventory and days on lot updated every day. It's a separate subscription, and you don't need it to work with us.

What is manual work costing your business?

Repetitive admin, missed follow-ups and disconnected systems take time away from running your business. Bring us one process that slows your team down. We'll help you understand what could improve, how much time you could recover, and what it might cost to implement.
