The ShiftPilot AI dealership operating system
ShiftPilot AI is an AI-powered dealership operating system — a controlled operating layer that connects dealership CRM, inventory, deal desk and finance-readiness, document and e-sign, service, and communications workflows in one place, with AI assistance that stays under human review. This page lists the capability areas that exist in the product today, and states plainly which of them depend on an outside provider.
Capability areas
- CRM and lead management
- Leads, sources, ownership, and follow-up cadences in one worklist, so nothing sits unworked.
- Customer 360
- A single customer record combining contact details, vehicles, deals, service history, and communication history.
- Follow-up, tasks and workflows
- Structured next steps with owners and due dates, so accountability is visible instead of assumed.
- Inventory intelligence
- Vehicle records, aging and turn visibility, and merchandising workflows. Third-party market valuation feeds require a provider agreement.
- Deal desk and finance readiness
- Deal structure, numbers, checklists, and document readiness. Credit pulls, lender decisions, and DMV submission are integration-dependent and are not performed by ShiftPilot AI on its own.
- Documents and e-sign workflows
- Document packets, signer links, and an evidence trail. External e-sign providers require configuration and approval.
- Service inspections and operations
- Service estimates, inspections, and advisor workflows with manager visibility.
- Communications
- Composer, threads, and templates with consent gating. SMS, email, and voice delivery require an approved provider account and configuration.
- Manager controls and reporting
- Role-based access, approval queues, audit logging, and reporting across sales and service.
- AI assistance
- Drafting, summarizing, prioritizing, and surfacing opportunities. Customer-facing and sensitive actions are proposed, then approved by a person.
- Integration readiness
- Connector configuration surfaces. Any external system connection depends on provider credentials, contracts, and approval.
How the pieces fit together
A lead arrives and lands on a customer record. Follow-up tasks are created with an owner and a due date. When the conversation turns into a deal, the deal desk holds the structure and the finance-readiness checklist. Documents and signer packets attach to the same record. If the customer comes back for service, the advisor sees the same history. Managers see the whole board, plus what is overdue.
Because it is one record rather than several exported copies, reporting reflects the same facts the floor is working from.
Integration status, stated honestly
ShiftPilot AI is integration-ready rather than pre-connected. Message delivery, credit and lender workflows, DMV submission, DMS synchronization, market valuation data, payment processing, ad publishing, and external e-sign all depend on the dealership holding the relevant provider account, contract, and approvals. Until those are configured, the related surfaces are inert rather than simulated.
Financial figures shown inside the product are estimates for internal planning until confirmed by a lender or by the dealership.
Controls and governance
Access is role-based, each dealership's data is isolated at the database level, and sensitive actions are recorded in an append-only audit log. Details are on the security page and the trust center.
