Four things AutoMate
doesn't do.
AutoMate operates in Ireland and the UK. Autoflows runs native-language AI agents across 10 European markets — with locale-specific service terminology, motor registry lookups (DVLA, RDW, DMR), and full regulatory compliance per country.
AutoMate's tools capture leads and handle messages. Autoflows reads repair history, checks real-time workshop availability, and creates confirmed DMS bookings — entirely within the AI call, with zero human handoff required.
AutoMate executes campaigns you configure manually. Autoflows builds and prioritises contact lists automatically — using repair history, mileage patterns, and appointment data to decide who to contact and when, before you think to ask.
AutoMate is a small-team tool set. Autoflows is a production platform running across 1,500+ dealerships, with OEM solutions for VW Group, Mercedes, and Toyota — and a +100% bookings track record across European aftersales operations.
Right tool, right scope.
- Irish or UK dealers wanting chatbot and WhatsApp automation as standalone tools
- Small operations needing basic lead capture and enquiry management
- Dealers not yet ready for a full aftersales AI platform
- European dealerships wanting AI inbound and outbound in one platform
- Multi-site groups needing voice + email + SMS + WhatsApp + CX measurement together
- Dealers with DMS integrations (Keyloop, CDK, etc.) who want live booking AI
- OEM importers needing network-wide solutions across multiple markets
