ATLAS AI's systems integrations and project tracking gives dealers a systematic approach to reconditioning that reduces the time it takes to sell vehicles.
Dealer Systems Integration
Full visibility into all your key dealership systems, on one pane of glass
One of the biggest obstacles to efficient dealership operations is created by the number of systems used to store or process operational data. Tools like Dealer Management Systems (DMS), Customer Relationship Managers (CRM), contracts databases, web apps, parts ordering systems, even a manually-updated police book are all meant to help with a specific job function in the dealership, but when they're not integrated, the silos between them cause inefficiencies.
ATLAS AI eliminates the errors and inefficiencies of trying to manually merge the key data from disparate dealer tools by pulling it all onto a common platform and giving access to the combined information on one pane of glass. For instance, sales data from a CRM, accounting information from a DMS, and open item expenses from the service department can all be merged onto a single vehicle profile to give a clear, up-to-the-minute view of whether a sale will be profitable or not. Further, with mobile device and web portal access, ATLAS AI gives users a powerful operations management tool and insight into both day-to-day and strategic activities from anywhere, at any time.

Title Tracker and Police Book
Merges 3 processes into 1 to eliminate the hassle of tracking and complying with title requirements
ATLAS AI combines 3 of the most time consuming and frustrating office processes into one, simple, automated portal with the Title Tracker and Digital Police Book. Rather than separately updating an inventory tracking tool, a title tracking database, and a manual police book log with title information, ATLAS-Auto embeds title accountability with the Instant Inventory and Automated Recon Tracker features, meaning title data is only entered once. Once in ATLAS, dealership personnel can receive alerts if titles are expected but not received or are in a particular status too long. Additionally, ATLAS AI's digital police book pulls all required vehicle data automatically so the office staff doesn't need to do it manually, and to provide peace of mind that the dealerships stays in compliance.

Digital Sales Leaderboard
Instant visibility to up-to-the-minute sales team activity
Every dealership has one. It's usually in the break room or office--a whiteboard that tracks each salesperson's successes for the month. Great idea, but impractical execution. ATLAS AI improves on this concept by integrating with the dealership's CRM to display not only sales information, but sales activity—so store leaders know who is actively selling and who needs motivating. It also displays data across a designated date range, so GM's and auto group owners can view activity over time to see trends and historical results; because ATLAS AI is web based, they can view this any time, anywhere on their computers or mobile devices. What used to be hidden from managers who didn't have regular access to the whiteboard is now available in real time.

Instant Inventory
Complete floor checks and physical inventories in minutes, not hours
ATLAS AI's Instant Inventory feature allows dealership personnel to have an immediately available, precise view of the store's inventory at any time. As either a standalone tool or paired with RFID and/or GPS, Instant Inventory takes the guesswork out of where vehicles are, their status, when they'll be available, whether they're being sold, etc. Also, because ATLAS' technology is discovering and maintaining the inventory, time consuming tasks like physical inventories and floor checks are a thing of the past—what used to take hours or, in some cases days, now takes minutes. This frees up everyone to do what they're supposed to do: generate revenue for the dealership.

Automated Reconditioning Tracker
ATLAS makes the process faster, more accurate, and visual
ATLAS AI removes the mystery of where a vehicle is by making the entire process between acquisition and sale visual. Users can view all vehicles in process and key statistics on each stage of the reconditioning process, or they can view the stage individually to "drill down" on particular department statistics. ATLAS AI also lets users view specific vehicle details, including projected reconditioning completion date, annotated notes from each stage, photos from intake, and custom fields that users can designate for items like printed deal jackets, hardcopy files, etc. With configurable triggers and/or integrations with technology like RFID, ATLAS AI can automatically update vehicles as they pass from stage to stage. Bottom line, ATLAS makes tracking vehicles as simple as glancing at the closest screen—whether it's a phone, tablet, or computer.
