Numa and Tekion Team Up for Better Automotive Operations
In a groundbreaking move that promises to enhance the automobile retail landscape, Numa, a leader in AI-driven customer operations for dealerships, has announced its partnership with Tekion, a pioneer of the first fully integrated AI-native cloud platform tailored for the automotive industry. This collaboration is designed to improve connectivity among technology partners serving dealerships and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), bolstering operational efficiency through improved data exchange.
The integration allows automotive dealerships to connect Numa's AI Appointment Agent seamlessly with Tekion's Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) service module. With Tekion's open ecosystem approach, which supports not only its capabilities but also trusted third-party solutions, this partnership is set to transform how information flows within automotive sales environments. By reducing unnecessary manual data entry, it will streamline operations significantly, enabling dealerships to provide faster services to customers.
Numa’s AI Appointment Agent plays a crucial role in this equation, as it automatically captures and schedules service appointments directly into the ARC Service Scheduler. This integration means that customers can effortlessly book services via a smart Voice AI. For dealership staff, this integration reduces the workload within their Business Development Center (BDC), allowing them to focus on strategic tasks that can drive growth and enhance customer satisfaction.
According to Tasso Roumeliotis, CEO and co-founder of Numa, the data speaks for itself: "The average dealership misses approximately 158 service appointment calls each month. With our integration into Tekion's ARC, dealers can ensure that these opportunities are never overlooked again. Customers benefit from instant service booking, while BDC teams can redirect their energies towards more impactful work."
This integration not only addresses efficiency but also elevates the customer experience, paving the way for a more connected and responsive automotive retail environment. With a system designed for transparency and collaboration, that aligns with modern consumer expectations, both Numa and Tekion are poised to lead the automotive industry into a new era of technology-driven services.
