Leading Automotive CRM Platform Delivers 24/7 Lead Response Across All Channels, Helping 550+ Dealerships Add 50+ Additional Deals Per Month

AutoRaptor, a leading AI-integrated customer relationship management platform for automotive dealerships, today unveiled its comprehensive solution to one of the industry’s most costly challenges: after-hours lead abandonment.

The problem: With 60% of car-buying leads arriving outside business hours and competitors responding in seconds, traditional dealerships lose an average of 50 deals monthly, representing approximately $150,000 in lost revenue.

The AutoRaptor platform combines intelligent AI automation with best-in-class automotive CRM functionality, enabling dealerships to capture and nurture every lead using AI across voice, SMS, web chat, and email, all from a single unified system.

The $150K Problem: Why Dealerships Lose 50 Cars Per Month

Recent automotive industry data reveals a critical gap in dealership operations:

  • 60% of automotive leads arrive after business hours when no staff is available
  • 20% of leads receive inadequate follow-up within critical response timeframes
  • 200+ missed calls monthly on average per traditional dealership
  • 31% of leads receive zero response while competitors with instant-response technology capture those same buyers
  • 50 deals lost monthly due to disconnected systems and delayed responses

“Last month alone, dealers using disconnected systems lost an average of 40-50 deals because leads went unanswered after hours or fell through the cracks between multiple platforms,” said an AutoRaptor spokesperson. “AutoRaptor solves this with AI that works every channel simultaneously, ensuring every lead gets instant, personalized attention—even at 2 AM.”
