Podium provides an AI-driven platform tailored for auto dealerships, featuring an autonomous AI employee named “Jerry” who operates 24/7. Jerry instantly responds to inbound leads across all channels, including text, phone, webchat, and social media, slashing average response times to just 36 seconds. By handling the initial follow-up and lead nurturing, Jerry ensures dealerships capture opportunities that would otherwise be lost to slow response times or unanswered calls.For both sales and service departments, Podium drives tangible results without the need for extra headcount. Our AI automatically books test drives, schedules service appointments, and integrates with the dealership’s existing DMS to follow up on recommended repairs. By consolidating the CRM, inbox, and phone systems into one unified platform, Podium allows human staff to focus on closing deals and servicing vehicles, while the AI maximizes appointment volume and revenue around the clock.
