Aimee Customer Contact

Turn outbound service calls into secure live conversations.

Aimee sends a branded text when the dealership needs the customer—not the other way around. The customer joins a private, vehicle-aware chat, completes the required action and can bring a human advisor in at any point.

Appointment confirmation VHC authority Vehicle completion Post-visit satisfaction
  • Welcomes the customer by name and explains why the dealership is contacting them.
  • Uses structured buttons for formal decisions—AI cannot silently approve work or alter a booking.
  • Writes confirmed outcomes back to the job, VHC and dealership audit trail.
  • Moves complaints, questions and low satisfaction directly into the human contact queue.
Start 30-day trial Explore Virtual Advisors

Texts use the iMotive sender ID. Automations are opt-in, successful AI replies are itemised and each customer conversation is capped at £0.50.

Aimee and iMotive Assist

Ask the dealership instead of searching the DMS.

Staff can ask operational questions in plain English. The AI reads permitted dealership context, while the authoritative figures and any write action remain server-controlled.

Ask

“Who is my most efficient technician this week?”

A natural-language request begins the workflow without requiring the manager to remember a report route.

Resolve

Live, tenant-scoped records

iMotive checks the user’s role and runs the existing reporting calculation against the dealership data.

Answer or act

Evidence, then confirmation

The answer cites the operating result. Stock writes and other changes require a structured review and explicit confirmation.

Simple subscription pricing

Every DMS feature is included. Choose the Wallet allowance that matches your volume.

Stock, technicians and core workshop activity are never capped by tier. The guide below shows how far each monthly Wallet allowance can go.

Core

Best fit for independent businesses retailing up to around 10 vehicles a month.

Capacity examples are shown separately, as though the whole monthly Wallet allowance were used for that one activity. They use current rates of up to 50p per complete advisor conversation, 99p per retail job card and £9.99 per Full Vehicle Check. Real usage will be a blend, and unused Wallet credit carries over.
