A dealership dashboard that runs itself
A dealership dashboard that runs itself shows new leads, who has been answered, today’s test drives and service visits, and which shoppers have gone quiet. It fills in from your inbox, forms and calendar, so nobody types it twice. It makes it easy to see where a deal is stuck.
Talk through your dealership with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your car dealership to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
One screen for the morning
A sales manager wants to know which leads came in overnight and whether anyone has answered. A service manager wants tomorrow’s bays. A custom dashboard puts each view in front of the right person.
Fills in from the email
Westward’s AI CRM reads a shopper’s emails and keeps a short brief and a to-do list for each one. Anything the AI wrote is marked, so you can check it against the original.
It drafts replies and you press Send. Nothing goes out on its own unless you ask for that.
See where each deal stalls
A deal can stall at the quote, the trade-in value, the financing paperwork or the second visit. A stage-by-stage view shows how many sit at each step and for how long. A manager can then spend the morning on the few deals that need a call, rather than scrolling through every lead.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
The Monday view lists six leads with no reply yet, sorted by how long they have waited.
A shopper’s page shows the truck they drove, the quote they asked for and the follow-up due on Thursday.
A service tab shows tomorrow’s appointments and which customers have not confirmed.

Questions
Why not use the standard dealer software?
You may keep it. A custom layer can sit beside it to show what matters to you, in the way you work.
How long does a first version take?
About a month for a first working build, priced at a fixed amount in writing.
