🚗 FLAIRE for Automotive

First test drive to lifetime customer on one platform. Sales, F&I, service, parts, and customer marketing — with the vehicle record that follows every customer across every visit, every recall, and every trade-in.

Why dealerships and shops leave gross on the table

Most operations run a DMS, a separate CRM, an inventory tool, a service-scheduling tool, a finance/F&I menu system, a marketing platform, and email. Customers feel the seams — and the customer record fragments at every department handoff.

Customer disappears between service visits

First service visit closes; six months pass; no reminder fires; customer goes to the quick-lube down the street. Without a service-interval calendar tied to the vehicle, you lose the service customer and the next-vehicle sale.

F&I product attach rates are 30% below what they should be

VSC, GAP, paint protection, key replacement, tire-and-wheel — the F&I menu is the gross-profit engine. Without a structured menu presentation logged per deal, finance managers pitch unevenly and money walks out the door.

Recall notices aren't reaching your customers

OEM issues a recall; the postcard goes to the address on file; customer moved three years ago. Customer drives a recalled vehicle for another year. When they crash, the lawsuit names your dealership for not following up.

Service bays are empty Monday, overbooked Saturday

Saturday has a three-hour wait; Tuesday has techs eating lunch on the clock. Without smart scheduling and capacity-aware booking, you're paying labor for both empty bays and overtime in the same week.

Built for how dealerships and shops actually run

Three persona-based plays. Pick the one that matches your operation — or run multiple under one tenant if you sell new and used, run service, and broker wholesale under the same roof.

🔧
Persona 1

Independent Service / Body Shop (1–15 bays)

Repair-order driven, customer loyalty is the moat, hourly labor recovery is the metric. The wins come from a booking flow that fills the slow days, a digital vehicle inspection that earns approvals over text, and a service-interval calendar that brings customers back without anyone running a report.

Vega — shop site & online booking

Ranks for "{city} auto repair" or "{city} body shop." Real-time appointment booking with service-type qualification, vehicle-info capture (YMM + VIN), and capacity-aware time slots.

Nova — customer + vehicle record

Every customer with every vehicle they own. Service history per VIN, recall status, declined-repair list, oil-change cadence. Aria flags customers due for the next visit before they think to call.

Echo — DVI & text-to-approve

Tech inspects the vehicle, photos and notes captured on a tablet, customer receives a digital vehicle inspection via SMS with one-click approve/decline per line. Approval rates jump; arguments at pickup disappear.

Atlas — RO finance & parts

Repair orders with labor rate by job code, parts from your supplier's price file, sublet management, sales tax handled per jurisdiction, technician productivity / efficiency / proficiency dashboards.

Pulsar — service cadence & recall alerts

Per-vehicle service intervals (oil, brakes, tires, timing belt) drive automated reminders. NHTSA VIN-recall API pulled monthly per vehicle in the database; affected customers contacted before the OEM's postcard arrives.

🚗
Persona 2

Franchise Dealer (new + used + service + parts + F&I)

Multi-department operation under an OEM franchise agreement. Sales, F&I, service, parts, body shop, and wholesale — each with its own gross-profit story. The play is one customer record across every department, OEM-compliant processes, and F&I menu discipline that lifts attach rates.

Nova — CRM across showroom + service drive

Same customer record from showroom to service drive. Conquest, equity mining (negative-equity-to-positive opportunities), service-customer-to-sales matching, lease-end and warranty-end pipelines. Aria scores who's in market right now.

Atlas — F&I menu, deal jacket & gross

F&I menu presented on a tablet with all required disclosures, products attached per deal, deal jacket assembled, front-end / back-end / total gross visible on every desk-log. Reg Z and TILA disclosures generated automatically.

Echo — service drive + customer experience

Service-drive write-up workflow with multi-point inspection, MPI photos and videos delivered to the customer via SMS, loaner / rideshare management, customer pay vs warranty vs internal account routing.

Vega — SRP / VDP & lead-form pages

Search Results and Vehicle Detail pages with structured data, VIN-level inventory presentation, photos, OEM-compliant disclaimers, price-conditional incentive language, lead forms that prefill into Nova.

Pulsar — DMS sync, OEM reporting & recalls

Two-way sync with the DMS (CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, Dealertrack, PBS, Tekion), OEM monthly reporting prep, NHTSA recall pulls per VIN in service history, takata-style mass-recall outreach automation.

🚒
Persona 3

Used Car Dealer / Wholesaler

Independent used dealer or wholesale operation. Inventory turn is the metric. The play is acquisition (auction, trade, off-lease) at the right price, fast reconditioning, smart pricing against market, and a buyer pipeline that includes Buy Here Pay Here when it's part of the model.

Nova — lead pipeline + BHPH collections

Inbound and outbound leads tracked by source (Cars.com, Facebook, Craigslist, walk-in). For BHPH lots, customer payment record with delinquency flagging and skip-tracing prompts when payments lapse.

Atlas — inventory cost & reconditioning

Acquisition cost (auction fees, transport, buyer fees), reconditioning cost per VIN (mechanical, detail, paint, parts), days-in-inventory, holding cost. Profit per VIN visible before you mark up the windshield.

Vega — inventory pages & FTC Buyer's Guide

VDP per VIN with photos, condition reports, Carfax/AutoCheck embed, financing calculator. FTC Used Car Rule Buyer's Guide language generated per vehicle with as-is or warranty selection captured.

Echo — buyer comms + documentation

Buyer communications through one inbox, secure document upload (insurance, income verification, references for BHPH), title and tag-and-title workflow with status visible to the buyer.

Pulsar — pricing-to-market + auction syncs

Daily pricing-to-market alerts when a VIN is more than 5% above or below comparable inventory, vAuto / HomeNet sync where used, auction-feed integration for Manheim and ADESA inventory tracking.

One customer, test drive to next trade-in

A single customer from first online vehicle search through delivery, service ownership, and the next vehicle — running across all five products with one customer record, one VIN history, and one source of truth across every department.

Step 1 · Vega
Shopper finds a VDP, books a test drive

VDP page with photos, condition report, and financing payment calculator. Test-drive booking form prefills into Nova with the VIN attached.

Step 2 · Nova
Lead routed, customer record created

Lead lands in Nova; salesperson assigned by territory or load; Aria flags conquest opportunity vs current customer; trade vehicle equity calculated when YMM is provided.

Step 3 · Echo
Test drive + paperwork + soft pull

Test drive scheduled; customer uploads license and insurance ahead of time via Echo; soft credit pull captured for pre-qualification; trade appraisal photos attached to the deal.

Step 4 · Atlas
F&I menu + delivery

F&I menu presented per the dealership's process; chosen products attached to the deal; Reg Z disclosures generated; deal jacket assembled with all required documents; customer delivered with the right walkthrough captured.

Step 5 · Pulsar
Service intervals + recall watch

First service reminder fires at 3,000–5,000 miles or 6 months, depending on the OEM schedule. NHTSA recall API checked monthly per VIN; affected customers contacted within 7 days — not when the postcard arrives a year later.

Step 6 · Nova + Echo
Equity, trade, repeat sale

Lease-end, warranty-end, and equity-position triggers fire 90 days before they matter. Salesperson reaches out with a personalized trade-in offer; the second sale happens because the data made it possible.
