How it works

From window sticker to signed deal.

DealerIQ puts a knowledgeable, bilingual salesperson on every vehicle, then hands your team shoppers who are ready to move.

  1. Every unit gets its own code
    Step 1

    Every unit gets its own code

    We generate a unique QR code for each vehicle from your inventory. Place it on the window card, hang tag or windshield.

  2. The shopper scans on the lot
    Step 2

    The shopper scans on the lot

    Phone camera, no app. They land in a conversation about that exact vehicle — day or night.

  3. Dave answers like your best product specialist
    Step 3

    Dave answers like your best product specialist

    Specs, features, price, comparisons, in English or Spanish. Clear hand-off when a human is needed.

  4. Intent is captured and moved forward

    Intent is captured and moved forward

    Contact details, trade-in info, test-drive time and financing steps, collected in the conversation.

    D.A.I.V.E. on your dealership website

    We add DealerIQ to your website, connecting online inventory conversations with vehicle QR interactions on the lot through the same dealer-controlled knowledge and process.

Online. On the lot. At home.

One dealership. One connected experience.

Put DealerIQ on your dealership website and a unique QR code on every vehicle. D.A.I.V.E. connects the online shopper with the physical customer beside the car — using your inventory, your dealership's voice and your sales process.

  1. Your website

    Browse inventory, ask vehicle-specific questions and start the buying conversation before visiting.

  2. Every vehicle on your lot

    Scan that unit's QR sticker for the same dealer-controlled expertise, even after hours.

  3. Back home, still connected

    Continue shopping and follow-up through the configured customer journey, with context available to your team.

Cross-device conversation continuity depends on customer identification, consent and your dealership's configured connections.

The Solution Blueprint™

Diagnose before you prescribe.

DealerIQ isn't a software package you pick off a shelf. Every engagement runs through the same six-step consulting sequence — from a raw assessment of your store to a phased growth roadmap.

  1. 01

    Dealership assessment

    Rooftop count, sales volume and staffing baseline — the structural facts that decide what fits.

  2. 02

    Technology stack mapping

    Your DMS, CRM, credit pulling, inventory and desking tools — mapped for integration points and gaps.

  3. 03

    Pain point assessment

    Sales, Finance, Service and Management rated on a 1–10 scale, so effort goes where the leaks are.

  4. 04

    DealerIQ Fit Score™

    One score out of 100 that quantifies how ready your store is — the number the blueprint is prescribed against.

  5. 05

    Recommended blueprint

    The right solution for your dealership type, plus modular add-ons for the specific gaps we surfaced.

  6. 06

    Future growth roadmap

    A phased journey — from lead capture today to multi-rooftop intelligence on the horizon.

The traditional funnel vs. the D.A.I.V.E. process.
