Know what’s driving performance. Know what to do next.

You already have the data. Finding the answer is the hard part.

Your CRM, DMS, advertising, website and inventory systems are constantly generating data. But understanding what it all means still requires someone to pull reports, compare systems, investigate changes and figure out what deserves attention.

AiDA does that investigative work to uncover what’s driving performance and where to focus next.

How AiDA works

From “what happened?”
to “what happens next?”

AiDA continuously analyzes connected dealership data to identify meaningful changes, investigate what’s driving them and surface what deserves your attention next. Instead of starting with another report, you start with what matters — and where to focus next.

  1. Monitor performance

    AiDA watches connected dealership data continuously, across every store and system.

    Step 01

  2. Identify meaningful changes

    It separates the movements that matter from normal week-to-week noise.

    Step 02

  3. Investigate what’s driving them

    It traces each change back through marketing, leads, sales and inventory.

    Step 03

  4. Know where to focus

    You start the week with what deserves attention, not another report to read.

    Step 04

Diagnosis

Find the real reason performance changed.

Knowing that performance changed is only the beginning.

AiDA looks across your connected dealership data to help uncover what’s driving the change, where the problem or opportunity is coming from, and what deserves your attention next.

See what changed. Understand why. Know where to focus.

3 of 14 stores changed enough to investigate this week.

Downtown is the priority: cost per sale is up 31% while lead volume held flat. Two others slipped on show rate.

Sources: CRM · Google Ads · DMS

Paid search is saturated at two stores; marketplaces are under-funded.

Google Ads cost per lead rose 22% at Downtown and Westside with no lift in appointments. Cars.com converts at twice the rate on a third of the spend.

Sources: Google Ads · Marketplaces · CRM

Two stores are tracking 12% and 18% behind month-to-date pace.

Both slowed at appointment-set rather than lead volume. Recovering last quarter’s rate closes most of the gap.

Sources: CRM · DMS · Sales targets

Leads are flat. The drop starts after the lead.

Appointment-set is down 18% and show rate down 21%. Sales follow the same curve with a two-week lag.

Sources: CRM · DMS · GA4

42 used units are past 60 days and absorbing 28% of VDP traffic.

They convert at less than half the group average. Three model lines account for most of the aging.

Sources: Inventory · GA4 · Marketplaces

Appointment-set at the three underperforming stores.

It is the single change with the largest modelled effect on units this month, ahead of any spend reallocation.
