## The Problem

RV / Boat / Motorcycle Sales trade-in appraisals depend on guides + recon estimates — but the salesperson and used car manager don't always agree, and the customer notices delays.

## What We Build in Sharpe Software

AI generates the trade appraisal from Lightspeed DMS VIN + condition photos, including reconditioning estimate and target ACV — appraisal time drops from 30 minutes to 5. Purpose-built for teams running Sharpe Software — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Sharpe Software Integration Approach

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