PipelineIQ for car dealers

The web-lead engine, bilingual AI assistant, and follow-up tool — that plugs into your DMS.

Indie used-car lots don't need another DMS — DealerCenter, DealerSocket, and VinSolutions already run F&I, title work, and lender submissions. What they don't run well is the top of the funnel: capturing the Marketplace ping at 11pm, replying in Spanish, qualifying the bad-credit applicant before the sales floor wastes an hour, and reviving the financing app that ghosted. PipelineIQ runs that layer. Starter $99/seat — half of what DealerSocket and VinSolutions charge.

Plugs into the systems your dealership already runs

Web leads, financing pre-quals, trade-in submissions, and test-drive bookings flow into your DMS automatically as ADF/XML — the industry-standard lead format every major CRM ingests. No re-keying. No tab-switching. Your F&I manager opens DealerCenter in the morning and the leads are already in the deal jacket.

What it does

Three things that actually move metal off the lot.

01

Capture every web lead — qualify before it hits the floor

Web contact form, financing pre-qual, trade-in valuator, and "schedule test drive" bookings all stream into PipelineIQ first. Iris reads the application, scores it (ITIN-friendly, target monthly, vehicle of interest), and pushes qualified leads to DealerCenter as ADF. Your F&I manager stops opening apps from people who never had a phone number to begin with.

02

Bilingual AI assistant on the lot site — EN/ES, 24/7

Drop the Iris widget on the dealer's site. It knows the inventory, the current offers, the hours, and the dealer's voice. Detects the visitor's language and answers in it. Hands off to WhatsApp after three turns. Captures the lead before the handoff, surfaces "$1k down ITIN special" when relevant, and never invents a vehicle or a rate. Half of Orlando lives in two languages — this is the difference between a Marketplace ping and a deposit.

03

Win-back drips for ghosted financing apps + service reminders

Iris reads your lead history and flags every prospect who pre-qualified but never closed. One click fires a personalized text — "We approved you Tuesday. Want to come back this weekend? Inventory turned." Birthday drips, 90-day "how's the car running?" service nudges, and lease-end reminders, all on autopilot. Set it once; runs forever.

Why a CRM if I already have a DMS?

Because DealerCenter runs the contract — not the conversation.

DealerCenter, DealerSocket, and VinSolutions are excellent at the back office — F&I, title transfers, lender submissions, compliance, BHPH payment portals. Their CRM modules are an afterthought, and it shows: no AI drafting, no bilingual auto-response, no Marketplace-to-CRM webhook, no SMS/WhatsApp orchestration, no review-request engine. The work goes to whoever is sitting at the front desk when the ping comes in — and on the weekend, that's no one.

PipelineIQ sits on top of the DMS and does the work of responding. It's the engagement layer between "we got a lead" and "the deal is being written in DealerCenter." For $59/mo, with Iris drafting every message in the dealership's voice — in English or Spanish.
