Dealerloop Acquisition Engine

Every seller answered. Every appraisal booked.

The buying side of your yard, run like the selling side. When someone offers you their car, the AI answers straight away, captures the vehicle in the conversation (rego, kms, condition, photos) and books the appraisal onto your calendar.

The buying side today

The car is gone by the time you ring back.

None of this is a knock on how yards work. It is what the job takes when the only people who can do it are the ones already on the floor, and it is the same five beats every time.

The 9pm message

The car

The number

TodaySomeone works the car out by hand between customers, on whatever they have open, one car at a time.

On DealerloopThe lookup runs the moment capture completes, and a range lands on the record for your desk.

The rest of the market

Answer and capture

The message lands at 9pm. The car is captured by 9:06.

“What would you give me for it?” arrives after you have locked up. The AI answers in seconds, then collects the car in the conversation: rego, kilometres, condition and the photos. No form for the seller to abandon, no callback for anyone to remember in the morning.

  • Answers in the channel the seller used, your sell-your-car form or an SMS, at any hour of any day.
  • Captures the rego, the kilometres, the condition and the photos inside the conversation, with an upload link for the pictures.
  • What has not been captured shows as not captured, on the card, before anyone opens the thread.

Valuation

A range, and only once the car is captured.

The AI will not put a number in front of a seller until the car is captured and the photos are in. Before that it asks; after that it answers, and what it answers with is a range.

  • The lookup runs on the rego, the state it is registered in and the kilometres, against market data, the moment capture completes.
  • A range, never a single figure. What the car is worth to you stays internal, and the AI never says it.
  • Your desk sets the range the AI may say. Where the data is not confident, or the plate match is not certain, the figure stays on the card and the AI stays quiet.

A market data lookup on the rego, the state it is registered in and the kilometres, returned as a range rather than a single number: what comparable cars are currently listed at. It is a starting position for the appraisal, not an offer.

Figures shown are illustrative.

Wholesale

The cars you are never going to retail.

Some of what you buy is not yours to sell. Dealerloop sends an offer request to the buyers on your own list who actually fit the car, with the photos you chose, and every offer comes back to you and to nobody else.

  • Matched from your own buyer directory: makes, body type, price band, year, kilometres, and whether they take damaged cars.
  • You pick the photos that go out. Sellers send the service book and the rego papers too, and those carry their name and address.
  • No buyer learns another buyer's offer, or that there is one.

It is an offer request, and it stays one. The yard chooses, and may take the second number, or none at all.
