Off-the-shelf CRMs were built for a sales team. Not for car dealerships.

Portal leads land in an inbox and get answered when someone’s free — but the buyer emailed four dealers, and the first reply wins the test drive.

Nobody really knows which cars are going stale. Day 60 arrives as a surprise, and the discount that follows comes straight out of the margin.

Deals live in the salesman’s notebook — the p/x figure, the finance quote, what was promised. When he’s off, the deal stalls; when he leaves, it walks out with him.

Finance applications drag for days over a missing payslip, and aftersales never hears about the buyer again — no MOT reminder, no service booking, no second sale.

See it from the inside

What your CRM would look like — screen by screen.

Not stock screenshots — this is the shape of the system we’d build for car dealerships: your records, your stages, your words. Click through the screens.

The sales manager’s morning screen — fresh leads, today’s test drives, the month’s gross — and what got answered before anyone sat down.

A real starting point

Here’s the analysis we’d start from — for car dealerships.

Not a template. This is the data model, pipeline and automations a business like yours actually runs on — mapped in your words. Your free analysis produces exactly this, shaped to you.

Your system, mapped

Your pipeline, exactly as your CRM would show it — your stages, your words. This is what we build from.

Questions car dealerships ask us

Can it pull our stock from AutoTrader or our DMS?
Yes — the stock list syncs from your portal feed or DMS export, so a car added once shows up everywhere: the board, the website, the lead threads. Price changes push back out the same way.
Will the salespeople actually use it, or keep deals in their phones?
They use it because it does their chasing for them — leads arrive already answered, test drives book themselves, and the p/x and finance status sit on the deal card. The manager gets the whole pipeline; nobody retypes anything.
How long until we’re live?
A working prototype in about a week for €500. The full build usually lands in three to six weeks, depending on the portal feeds and finance integrations in scope.
Who owns the system and the data?
You do — entirely. It’s your system, hosted for you, and you can export everything at any time. No per-seat lock-in.
