Four things AutoMate doesn’t do.
More than two markets
AutoMate works in Ireland and the UK. Autoflows runs in 10 European markets, each with a local voice, local service terminology, motor registry lookups and compliance handled per country.
It books straight into the DMS
AutoMate’s tools capture leads and handle messages. Autoflows reads repair history, checks real-time availability and creates confirmed bookings in the DMS, all during the call, with no one needing to step in.
It works out who to contact
AutoMate runs the campaigns you set up by hand. Autoflows builds and sorts the contact lists for you, using repair history, mileage and appointment data to decide who to reach and when.
Built to run at scale
AutoMate is a small set of tools. Autoflows runs across 1,500+ dealerships, with OEM work for VW Group, Mercedes and Toyota, and a solid track record across European aftersales.
