## The Problem

Franchise Auto Dealer Ops inventory in CDK Global sits at wrong prices — overpriced units rot on the lot, underpriced units leave money on the table — and pricing is reviewed weekly when it should be daily.

## What We Build in Dealertrack

AI prices every unit daily against market data in CDK Global, flags rotting inventory with markdown recommendations, and tracks aged-inventory carrying cost — turn velocity climbs. Purpose-built for teams running Dealertrack — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Dealertrack Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Dealertrack configuration.** We map the specific Dealertrack objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your franchise auto dealer ops practice.
2. **Build on the Dealertrack API or agent.** Integration happens inside Dealertrack — 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 Dealertrack with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
