## The Problem

Internet leads at Independent Used Car Operations dealerships in DealerSocket need to be touched in <5 minutes — but BDC reps in chat, email, and phone queues drop 40% of leads when volume spikes.

## What We Build in vAuto

AI handles first-touch on every internet lead — qualifies vehicle interest, books the appointment in DealerSocket, and routes hot leads to a closer — appointment-set rate doubles, BDC headcount stays flat. Purpose-built for teams running vAuto — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## vAuto Integration Approach

1. **Audit your vAuto configuration.** We map the specific vAuto objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your independent used car operations practice.
2. **Build on the vAuto API or agent.** Integration happens inside vAuto — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in vAuto with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
