DealPassport Autopilot by DealerCRM

Your next best deals, already ranked.

DealPassport Autopilot surfaces the highest-confidence customer-to-unit opportunities when an eligible rooftop opens or refreshes the queue. Managers select up to ten directly linked matches and create separate drafts in one batch. Economics, approval, and sharing remain individual.

Why it sells more units

Stop waiting for someone to remember which customer fits which unit.

Autopilot organizes directly linked, traceable customer-to-unit matches into a ranked review queue. Managers curate up to ten at a time; the assigned reps finish the selected drafts with individual evidence and approval.

Fresh discovery

Open or refresh to see supported paths.

The canary uses a directly linked unit interest, traceable source activity, current rooftop inventory, and a verified Sales owner. Missing prerequisites yield no row—not a weaker guess.

Manager judgment

The best matches rise for review.

Every row carries the customer-to-unit reason and missing evidence so a manager can select the opportunities worth working now.

Batch leverage

Turn selected matches into drafts together.

Create multiple separate DealPassport drafts in one action without sending a message, creating a link, or advancing a stage.

Individual truth

Verify each customer and plan on its own.

Unit options, economics, credit, approval, and missing facts remain attached to one customer record and reviewed individually.

Controlled sharing

Outreach never happens by itself.

A properly permissioned manager chooses whether and when to create the secure customer link for one reviewed plan.

Manual exception

Build one from scratch when needed.

The manual builder remains available for a known edge case, but it is no longer the primary path through the work.

Exact Autopilot workflow

Six steps from ranked opportunity to supported customer plan.

Autopilot does the repetitive discovery and setup. People keep the consequential decisions: selection, verification, approval, sharing, and outreach.

Autopilot derives the current queue

When opened or refreshed, the canary rechecks a direct active unit link, traceable source, current same-rooftop inventory, collision gates, and an active Sales owner. Missing evidence remains visible.

A manager reviews the top matches

Read why each customer-to-unit match ranks, what source evidence supports it, and which economics or customer facts remain unresolved.

The manager selects a batch

Choose the strongest opportunities the team can work now. One action creates a separate draft per selected customer; it performs no outreach.

Each draft is completed individually

Refine the outcome, add up to three available units, write fit reasons, and verify the evidence. Use the manual builder only when the queue does not cover the exception.

Each plan is approved and shared individually

A properly permissioned manager decides whether to create that customer's expiring link. Verified economics and later stages never come from the batch.

The customer supplies the next signal

After deliberate outreach, the customer can compare the offered units, choose a preference, update safe facts, or request contact. The plan advances only when evidence supports it.

Evidence rail

Seven stages. No skipped meaning.

Stages are monotonic and advance one supported step at a time. The label tells the dealership and customer what kind of claim the plan can honestly make.

StageWhat it meansWhat it does not mean
MatchedA current unit is directly linked to traceable active customer interest.No broader needs-fit, economic claim, approval, or hold.
IllustratedA labeled list price or exact-unit AutoPencil illustration can be shown.Not a final payment, incentive promise, or credit decision.
VerifiedThe dealership has verified the attached facts and source.Not automatically prequalified or approved.
PrequalifiedReserved vocabulary for a typed prequalification source artifact.Disabled in the current canary; a note is never evidence.
ApprovedReserved vocabulary for validated approval evidence.Disabled in the current canary; not the same as manager link review.
ReservedReserved vocabulary for a validated inventory-hold artifact.Disabled in the current canary; a preference never reserves inventory.
SoldReserved vocabulary for completed transaction evidence.Disabled until the sale source can be validated atomically.
Current stage ceiling: this release advances only through Verified, from an approved or delivered exact-unit AutoPencil. The later labels remain in the durable vocabulary but stay disabled until their typed source integrations exist. Permission to share is a separate manager-review boundary.

Fabricated training data

A synthetic queue becomes two drafts, not two messages.

Everything below is intentionally fabricated. It demonstrates the Autopilot-to-customer workflow without using a real customer, phone number, email address, VIN, credit result, or dealership transaction.

Designed for every dealership type

The object changes. The evidence discipline does not.

These synthetic needs show the cross-vertical target design. The shipped Autopilot canary activates only at certified rooftops with a direct unit link, traceable source, fresh inventory, safety gates, and an active Sales owner; richer constraint matching unlocks only as each vertical's specifications are verifiable.

Automotive

Synthetic need: six seats, winter confidence, 5,000 lb towing, and a known monthly boundary.

RV

Synthetic need: sleeps six, fits a 32-foot site, carries two workstations, and stays within tow capacity.

Marine

Synthetic need: family cruising, shallow-water access, trailerable length, and storage for fishing gear.

Powersports

Synthetic need: two riders, trail use, trailer fit, and a bundle option for the machine and accessories.

Outdoor power

Synthetic need: acreage, terrain, attachment needs, service access, and a realistic work-season deadline.

Roles and permissions

Access follows the deal, the customer, and the store.

A broad job title never becomes a shortcut around scope. DealerCRM checks the permission key and the record-level relationship before returning or changing a DealPassport.

Is the data enough?

Enough for a high-confidence canary. Not enough for a fleet-wide promise.

Eligible rooftops can surface direct, traceable customer-to-unit opportunities for manager review today. Rooftops without the full evidence chain receive no generated rows; greater coverage unlocks only when the data can support it without guessing.

Safety and compliance

The public page is a narrow capability, not an open CRM door.

The customer experience is intentionally limited to the few actions that help the dealership reach the next decision.

Secure, revocable access

  • The raw 32-byte secret remains in the URL fragment.
  • Only a one-way digest is stored.
  • Links expire and can be rotated or revoked.
  • Rotating invalidates the prior link immediately.
  • Customer responses use version and replay protection.

Customer-safe projection

  • Autopilot creates drafts only and performs no automatic outreach.
  • No invoice, net cost, holdback, ACV, gross, reserve, buy rate, or money factor.
  • No lender, credit, internal note, employee, or full customer data.
  • Preview requests are read-only so link scanners cannot make a choice.
  • The customer cannot change stage, price, unit set, approval, reservation, or identity.
  • Customer and employee actions remain on the DealPassport activity record.

Questions dealers ask

DealPassport, without the fine-print fog.

When does DealPassport Autopilot refresh?

It rechecks and ranks the eligible rooftop's high-confidence direct customer-to-unit opportunities when the workspace opens or a user selects Refresh. It is not a background outreach engine, and it does not claim that an unchanged browser is receiving a continuous live feed.

What happens when a manager creates a batch?

DealerCRM creates one separate draft per selected opportunity. The batch does not contact a customer, create a public link, verify economics, advance a stage, approve credit, or reserve inventory.

Does Autopilot ever contact the customer automatically?

No. A properly permissioned person reviews each draft individually and decides whether and when to create and send that customer's secure link. Outreach is deliberate, never a side effect of queue ranking or batch creation.

Can I still build a DealPassport manually?

Yes. The manual builder remains for a known customer-and-unit edge case or a conversation that has not reached the ranked queue yet. Autopilot is the primary workflow; manual creation is the exception.

Does a high queue rank mean the customer is approved?

No. Rank prioritizes a supported Bronze match for human review. It is not verified economics, a credit result, approval, a reservation, a final payment, or a prediction that the customer will buy.

Is DealPassport a quote?

No. It is a purchase-plan object that can carry labeled listed pricing, a matched AutoPencil illustration, or dealer-verified facts. Executable deal math belongs in AutoPencil, and the evidence label tells the reader what kind of number they are seeing.

Does sharing mean the deal is approved?

No. Manager permission to share is a review decision. Approved is a later economic evidence stage. Creating or rotating a customer link never advances the evidence stage by itself.

Can Autopilot invent a match or a payment?

No. Dealer-owned customer evidence, available inventory, and customer-safe source facts form the evidence boundary. Unknown payoff, incentive, credit, lender, and executable payment data remains missing until a trusted source supplies it.

How many units can a customer compare?

One to three distinct physical units. This keeps the decision useful without turning the plan into another inventory search result page.

What can the customer change?

They can select one of the offered options, update the safe facts displayed in the plan, or request contact. They cannot alter inventory, price, stage, approval, reservation, identity, or internal dealership data.

What happens if two people edit at once?

Every mutation carries the version the editor saw. If a teammate or customer has already created a newer version, DealerCRM rejects the older write and asks the person to reload instead of silently overwriting the new work.

What happens when a unit sells?

DealerCRM rechecks the authoritative inventory record before a link is created, whenever the customer opens the plan, and again before accepting a selection. A sold, booked, stale, or otherwise non-offerable unit is marked unavailable and cannot be selected. The historical snapshot remains in the evidence record; the dealership can archive the plan and prepare a new reviewed path.

Does it work for RV, marine, powersports, and outdoor power?

DealPassport itself and the evidence model are designed for every unit-dealership vertical. The automatic canary is enabled only where that rooftop's inventory identity, source lineage, safety state, owner, and vertical data have been certified. The cross-vertical examples on this page are synthetic target workflows, not a claim of universal current data coverage.

How should a dealership measure success?

The graduation metric is incremental retail units per 100 eligible opportunities using an immutable holdout comparison and the same delivered-deal source for both groups, segmented by store and vertical. The current high-confidence canary records workflow events such as drafts, shares, customer choices, fact updates, and contact requests; DealerCRM does not present those diagnostics as causal sales lift.
