## The Problem

RV / Boat / Motorcycle Sales service departments in Lightspeed DMS struggle with booking density — open bays sit unused mid-day while customers wait days for appointments.

## What We Build in IDS

AI optimizes the service schedule against tech skills, parts availability, and bay capacity in Lightspeed DMS — service absorption climbs and customer wait time drops. Purpose-built for teams running IDS — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## IDS Integration Approach

1. **Audit your IDS configuration.** We map the specific IDS objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your rv / boat / motorcycle sales practice.
2. **Build on the IDS API or agent.** Integration happens inside IDS — 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 IDS with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
