Payments that hold in your office.

Right before they sit down.

When a customer asks for a payment by text, chat, email or phone, the system works it out from your rate card or the manufacturer's program, with your terms line on it. Every quote sits on the store's thread, so you know what was promised before the customer walks in.

What would the payment be on the grey SUV? $5,000 down, 60 months.
Happy to work that out. Want to come in and go over the options with our finance team?
Just give me a ballpark first.
With $5,000 down over 60 months, it comes to about $612 a month. Want me to set up a time to go over it?

On the store's threadF&I can read it before the sit-down

The payment gets promised before the deal reaches you.

Customers ask for numbers by text at night. By the time they sit down in your office, someone has already told them a payment.

A payment you've never seenThe customer shows you a screenshot from a rep's phone, and you're the one who has to walk it back.
Every rep has their own calculatorThe website says one thing and the desk another. Freight and PDI are missing, or the promo rate went to someone who won't qualify.
Maxed before you startThe deal arrives already stretched on payment, with no room for products, and a "you promised me" blow-up in the box.

How it works.

01

You set the numbers

Your rate card and credit tiers, or the manufacturer's current programs, kept current automatically. You set your fees, tax and terms line.

02

The system works it out

Finance, lease and cash payments come from one engine, never from the AI. Reps press AI Draft to get the same number instead of guessing.

03

You read it before they sit down

Every quote, trade estimate and document the customer sends lands on the store's thread, from the store number, under the customer.

What you get.

One number on every channelPhone, text, chat and email use one engine, one rate card or program, one listing price.
Manufacturer programs kept currentRates, residuals and credits from the published program, never re-typed from PDFs.
Your terms line on every quoteThe system adds your required disclosure, in your exact wording. Cash buyers get a cash line instead.
Trade ranges, framed as estimatesA market range from live listings less the margins you set, called an estimate, with the real number set in person.
No number it can't back upWithout a published rate it won't invent one. If it can't work a number out, it asks a person.
A worksheet that says who said itPrice, trade, payoff and down payment each record who gave it and on what basis.

On text, email and chat the AI never types a dollar figure: your system fills it in.

For the whole business office.

Stips on the store's threadCustomers text photos of paystubs, licences and payout statements to the store number, and each missing item can be a dated task.
Product questions answered at nightCoverage questions get answers from the brochures and policies you upload. Anything not on file goes to your team.
Outside approvals caught early"I'm approved at my credit union" is caught in the conversation, so you can start the rate talk before they walk in.

Questions dealers ask.

Who decides what it says about payments?Finance and managers do. You pick the manufacturer's program or your own rate card, and you set your fees, tax and disclosure.
Does it ever make up a payment?No. It uses only figures the system works out and holds the line when pushed. It never improvises a payment, rate, out-the-door total or trade value.
What if it says something wrong?It can't go past your price, it asks your rep anything it doesn't know for sure, and any rep can put a customer on Approve first, where the AI's replies wait for a person.
