Pricing Scout is live —SEE THE DEMO
Pitlane
The Hive

A conductor for the whole fleet.

The Hive is Pitlane's orchestration layer. One Chief of Staff briefs a fleet of specialist agents against your weekly plan, arbitrates conflicts, and escalates only what actually needs a human decision.

This week's brief
Chief of Staff dispatched 6 agents · 142 actions · 3 escalations.
Why it matters

A folder full of chatbots isn't a platform.

Most "AI for dealers" ships a single chatbot bolted to a website. It can't see the DMS, doesn't know today's floorplan cost, and has no memory of the lead that came in last Tuesday.

The Hive is different: every agent shares a single grounded context — inventory, leads, pricing, deal jackets, service — mediated by the Chief of Staff. When Pricing Scout cuts $500 off an aged VIN, the Merchandiser rewrites the VDP hook, the Lead Concierge re-engages the last three cold shoppers, and Insights logs the projected gross impact — automatically.

Stage timing

Where the seconds go.

A live Gantt of median (p50) and tail (p95) latency per handoff step. The slowest stage against its SLA target gets the Chief of Staff's attention this week.

Grounded on one schema

Every agent shares the same DealerSchema. No context drift, no repeated integration work, no drift between what the pricing tool thinks and what the CRM shows.

Actions, not suggestions

The Hive doesn't just recommend — it writes back to your DMS, updates your OEM feed, books appointments in your CRM. Every action gates through Guardrails.

Compounds weekly

The Chief of Staff learns which recommendations you approve, which agents outperform their target, and which signals matter for your specific rooftops.
