Execute Multi-Channel AI Campaigns for Dealerships At Scale

IgniteUps offers multi-channel AI campaigns for dealerships built for the realities of your floor. When your BDC is swamped and after-hours leads go cold, our autonomous agents engage every opportunity across SMS, email, and voice, converting raw leads from your CRM into showroom appointments that show.

IgniteUps operates as an intelligent execution layer on top of your dealership's central nervous system—the CRM (VinSolutions, Elead, DealerSocket). It reads, acts, and writes back data so your team can work from a single source of truth.

Stop Burning Leads, Start Holding Gross

Your metro store generates thousands of leads per month. Each one has a hard marketing cost, but a missed opportunity costs more—lost gross, a hit on your OEM scorecard, and a potential CSI failure. Even with a top-tier BDC, leads that arrive after 6 PM, on holidays, or during a Saturday rush often wait hours for a response. By then, they've already been engaged by a competitor. Our AI agents respond in seconds, 24/7/365, engaging leads when their intent is highest and ensuring every marketing dollar is maximized. This isn't just about speed; it's about safeguarding front-end gross by preventing lead decay before it starts. We turn your CRM from a static database into an active revenue generator, ensuring no lead is left behind and every opportunity to set an appointment is pursued relentlessly.

Integrate, Don't Disrupt, Your CRM Workflow

Another dashboard is the last thing your team needs. IgniteUps was built to function as an execution layer directly inside your store’s primary operating system—be it VinSolutions, Elead, DealerSocket, or another CRM. Our agents read new leads, interpret their status, and automatically execute the appropriate campaign. Every SMS, email, and call is logged back to the customer record. Once an appointment is set and confirmed, the AI updates the lead status and assigns it to the BDC or a sales rep per your defined rules. This native integration provides complete visibility and ensures your attribution data in the DMS is clean. We provide powerful dealership SMS email voice automation without forcing your staff to learn a new, siloed platform. They just see qualified, confirmed appointments appear in their daily work plan.

Multi-Channel AI Campaigns for Dealerships

A simple drip sequence is no longer enough. True engagement requires dynamic, responsive conversation that adapts to customer behavior. If a lead doesn't respond to the initial SMS, our system can pivot to a personalized email with vehicle details. No engagement? A natural-sounding AI voice agent can place an outbound call to qualify interest and book the visit. This is the core of effective automotive AI marketing. We deploy these intelligent campaigns against fresh inbound leads, unconverted showroom traffic, service-to-sales opportunities from your Xtime or other service scheduler, and aged CRM leads you wrote off months ago. The system identifies intent and moves customers down the funnel, handing off a fully-vetted opportunity to your team a yard from the goal line.

From First 'Hello' to F&I Handoff

The primary job of our AI is to fill your calendar with appointments that show. It handles the grueling, high-volume, low-conversion work of initial lead engagement and qualification. This frees your human sales talent to do what they do best: build rapport, work the deal, and sell cars to the customers standing in front of them. The AI's job doesn't end at the appointment set. It handles confirmations and reminders to reduce no-shows. If a customer visits but doesn't buy, the AI can trigger a post-visit follow-up sequence to overcome objections or present alternative vehicles. This creates a clean, documented, and consistent customer journey from the first click to the salesperson's desk, ensuring a smoother transition and more prepared customer for the F&I office.

Surgical Precision for Sales and Fixed Ops

Your dealership has multiple profit centers, and our campaigns serve them all. Beyond new and used sales, IgniteUps drives significant revenue in your service lane. Deploy automated campaigns for recall notices, scheduled maintenance reminders based on DMS data, and post-service CSI surveys. Fill your bays and improve fixed ops absorption by proactively engaging your existing customer base. Have a batch of aged trucks you need to move before the flooring costs eat your gross? We can build a surgical outbound campaign targeting customers in your CRM with a history of truck ownership, launching a coordinated SMS, email, and voice blast to generate immediate traffic. This level of precision allows you to react to market conditions and inventory needs in real-time.

Frequently asked questions

How does this actually work with our existing BDC?

IgniteUps acts as a force multiplier for your BDC. Our AI handles the initial high-volume, low-intent screening and follow-up, 24/7. This frees up your human BDRs to focus on high-value activities like confirming AI-set appointments, handling live transfers, and providing a personal touch to the most qualified customers.

Can the AI handle trade-in questions or specific inventory lookups?

Yes. The platform integrates directly with your inventory feed and can integrate with valuation tools like KBB or Black Book. The AI can answer specific questions about vehicle availability, specs, and provide trade-in value ranges, logging all information in the CRM before escalating to a human manager if required.

Is this compliant for SMS and outbound voice communication?

Absolutely. The platform is built with TCPA/CASL compliance at its core. It manages consent and opt-out status across all channels automatically, and every communication event is logged in the customer record, providing a complete and defensible audit trail for your dealership.

What's the setup and training process like for our team?

Onboarding is managed by a dedicated Automotive Performance Manager. Since the system operates autonomously within your CRM, BDC and sales training is minimal and focuses on managing the output—confirmed appointments in the CRM—not operating a complex new software tool.

How do you measure ROI? What metrics should I watch?

We measure success by tying our actions directly to your CRM outcomes: appointments set, show rates, and vehicles sold. Your dashboard provides clear attribution, tracking cost-per-appointment and cost-per-sale generated by the AI, proving a tangible return on your investment against your ad spend.

Can we customize the AI's 'voice' and scripting?

Yes. During onboarding, we work with your team to establish the exact tone, cadence, and specific language that matches your dealership's brand and sales process. This ensures the communication is authentic to your store, whether you're a high-volume domestic or a boutique luxury dealer.
