Autoflows vs STELLA
STELLA is a well-regarded voice tool for US dealers. Autoflows is a full aftersales platform for European dealers, so the two are aimed at fairly different jobs.

A voice tool, or a platform.
STELLA answers calls and sends texts. Autoflows does that and adds email and WhatsApp, works out which customers to contact, tracks customer experience, and connects to 15+ European DMS systems. One is a voice tool; the other is a platform.

Four things STELLA doesn’t do.
Built for Europe
STELLA is mostly US-focused. Autoflows has a local voice in 10 European markets, with local terminology, motor registry lookups (DVLA, RDW) and GDPR and Ofcom handled per country.
More than calls and texts
No US voice tool does WhatsApp. Autoflows reaches the same customer by call, SMS, email and WhatsApp, all triggered by the same DMS data, from one place.
It works out who to contact
STELLA runs the campaigns you set up. Autoflows decides who needs contacting and when, using repair history, mileage and appointment data to build and sort the lists for you.
Feedback across the whole journey
STELLA Insights covers call analytics. Autoflows measures customer experience across sales, service, test drives, lost customers and non-buyers, and is used by VW Group Sweden and Audi Sweden.
