Module 08 · optional

Velocity Service

Service lane

Reviews every service-lane customer each morning to find positive equity and qualified trade-up opportunities, matches them to a newer vehicle on the ground, and alerts the right salesperson while the customer is still in the building.

What it does

Your best-qualified buyers are already on the property

A service customer has a payment history with you, a vehicle you know the exact condition of, and two hours to kill. They are a better prospect than almost anything you are paying a lead provider for, and most stores drive past them every morning.

A scan before the doors open

Every appointment on the schedule, checked overnight for positive equity, lease end and trade-up qualification. The list is ready before the first advisor logs in.

Matched to what is on the ground

Not a generic offer: a specific newer vehicle, in stock, with the payment compared against what the customer pays now.

The alert goes to a person

The right salesperson or manager is notified, by name, with the reason. Not a list somebody is supposed to check.

Before they leave, not after

The clock on each opportunity is the time the car comes off the lift. That is the whole difference between this and a mailer.

Why this module exists

These four customers were already in the building. Without the scan they would have paid the invoice and driven away, and nobody on the sales floor would have known they were there.

Illustrative product interface. Synthetic data, not customer data.

Four names, and how long you have

Thirty-one appointments scanned at six in the morning, four worth acting on. Each one shows the equity, the vehicle that matches, the reason it matches, and the salesperson who has been told. The countdown is the customer’s own service time.

The third row is not an equity case. It is a lease ending in 47 days, which is a different conversation and is flagged as one.

What it holds

The surfaces this module provides

  • A daily scan of every service appointment, run before the store opens
  • Positive equity and trade-up qualification against current book and payoff
  • Lease-end identification, flagged separately from equity opportunities
  • Vehicle matching against inventory on the ground, with the payment compared to the current one
  • Named alerts to the right salesperson or manager, with the reason attached
  • A clock on each opportunity, set by the customer's own service time
How it connects

The timeline does not close when the deal funds

This is the module that turns a customer list into a customer relationship. The service visit is not the end of the last deal. It is the beginning of the next one, and it is on the same timeline as the first.

From

Velocity Finance, two years earlier

The deal that funded, the term, the payoff schedule, and the vehicle. The equity calculation is not a guess because the original deal is on the record.

Here

Velocity Service

The morning scan, the match, and the alert to a named person.

To

Velocity Showroom, or Velocity Engage

If they are in the building, it goes to the floor. If the moment passes, it goes to Engage as a lease-end or trade-in opportunity rather than being lost.

Boundary

The module alerts a person. It does not contact the customer, and it does not interrupt the service visit. What happens next is a decision made by the salesperson who was alerted, and whether the opportunity was worked is recorded either way.


Where this is today

On the roadmap

Service is on the roadmap and is sequenced from what the pilot teaches. It depends on funded deal history being on the timeline, which means it gets meaningfully better the longer the platform has been running in a store.
