Today's car buyers do most of their research before they set foot in a showroom. They message about stock, finance options, trade-in value and colours, often to several dealers at once.

Squidfy gives your sales team a shared inbox with an AI that knows your inventory and finance offers, so every enquiry gets an immediate, accurate reply and a clear path to a test drive.

Common WhatsApp challenges

Leads split across salespeople's phones. No central view of who's talking to whom. Slow replies on weekends. Peak shopping time for buyers, peak workload for staff. Finance questions are repetitive. Down payment, monthly instalment, bank partners.

Stock and spec answers

Upload your inventory sheet and spec brochures. The AI answers trim, colour and availability questions.

Finance FAQs

Explain down payments, terms and bank partners consistently.

Test-drive pipeline

Enquiry, Test Drive Booked, Negotiation, Sold, so managers see the whole funnel.

Team seats

Business gives 20 seats for large sales floors.

Analytics

Response time and conversion by period (Pro and above).

What to add to your knowledge base

The AI answers only from content you give it. Start with: Current inventory sheet; Model spec brochures (PDF); Finance and bank partner terms; Trade-in process; Showroom hours and location.

Which plan fits?

Dealerships with multiple brands or branches benefit from Business: up to 10 numbers, 20 seats and per-number AI knowledge. Used-car lots can start on Standard or Pro. Every plan includes the shared inbox and knowledge base; yearly billing saves 20%, and Meta's WhatsApp message charges are billed separately.

Pro tip

Update your inventory file weekly. An AI that says a sold car is available creates frustration, while accurate stock builds trust.
