Talk time across the last 30 days.

What Dealerships ask.
Does it take over our phones?
No. The desk keeps answering the way it always has. The AI only picks up the calls that would have gone to voicemail, so nothing changes for the team until a call is about to be missed.
Does it sound like a robot?
Callers talk to it the way they talk to an advisor. It keeps up, handles what was not in the script, and switches between English and Spanish mid-call.
What if a caller wants a person?
It routes by name, role or department and hands the call over with the context it has already collected. Across the last 30 days at Heartland, zero transfers were missed.
Does this only work with Xtime?
Heartland Chevrolet books into Xtime, on an Auto/Mate DMS. ShortLoop also works with Reynolds, CDK, Tekion, DealerFX, myKaarma, VinSolutions and PBS.
Do we change our numbers or our phone system?
No. The store keeps its numbers and its existing phone system, and nothing gets ripped out. Heartland Chevrolet went live in days on the setup they already had.
What happens after hours and at the weekend?
That is when most calls get missed, and the AI is always on. Nights, weekends and holidays are covered the same way the lunch rush is.
Can we see what happened on every call?
Yes. Every recovered call is logged with what the caller wanted and what the AI did about it. Every figure on this page came out of that dashboard, not out of a survey.
Something we did not cover? Ask on the call.
