Car dealership and garage

Car dealerships and garages are juggling taking bookings over the phone with the actual work on the hoist.

AI automation in car dealerships and garages means separating appointment booking and administrative tasks from the actual work carried out on the hoist. Calls to book appointments often come in just when the team is working on a vehicle and cannot answer the phone. At bettersorted, this translates into: an AI telephone assistant for reliable appointment booking, process automation for forwarding repair quotes, and an AI document search function for vehicle and warranty documents.

Typical time sinks

Appointment enquiries are coming in whilst the team is working on the lifting platform

Quotations for repairs and spare parts are drawn up manually and forwarded

Vehicle and warranty documents are scattered across various filing systems
