  • Groups with mixed BDC coverage or off-hours gaps
  • IDMS + CRM combined shops (Solera stack)
You'll need
  • Active DealerSocket CRM contract
  • Solera partner API enablement
  • Named CRM admin
  • Rooftop / store IDs
How to sync it up

5–7 business days from kickoff to live agents.

Median rooftop launch
  1. 01
    Step 1

    Solera partner enablement

    We prep the partner API request with Solera. Typical enablement is 3–5 business days.

  2. 02
    Step 2

    Connect + lead source mapping

    Map your lead sources (OEM, website, third-party) so Concierge knows how to respond per channel.

    Different scripts for OEM vs Cars.com leads.

  3. 03
    Step 3

    Approval-first responses

    First week: every Concierge response queues for BDC approval. Once trust builds, flip to auto-send.

    Handoff rules

FAQ

DealerSocket, answered.

Will reps see Concierge activity?
Yes — every action posts to the DealerSocket customer timeline as a named Pitlane user, so nothing is hidden.
Does Concierge steal leads from BDC?
No. It handles first-touch and hands off to your BDC for anything qualifying.
Can we start with off-hours only?
Yes. Many rooftops start with nights/weekends before expanding to 24/7.
Does it work with IDMS deals?
Yes — deal outcomes flow back for attribution and gross-lift reporting.
