Inventory AI is Tekion's suite of intelligent AI agents built natively inside Automotive Retail Cloud — each one designed to help you source smarter, stock the right vehicles, and move inventory faster.
Vehicle Acquisition AI identifies the right service customers, engages them before they arrive, and alerts your team at exactly the right moment — all natively inside Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC)––the system your team already uses every day.
Every night, Vehicle Acquisition AI scans your entire upcoming service schedule against your buy plan and live market demand — surfacing the highest-priority acquisition targets before the day even starts.
Matching customers receive a personalized, VIN-specific Customer Vehicle Report (CVR) via SMS the night before their appointment — including trade-in value, market analysis, and upgrade options with example monthly payments. They arrive already thinking about it.
When a targeted customer pulls in, your Used Car Manager gets an instant alert with vehicle details, equity position, and a clear signal that the customer is open to a conversation. No cold approach. No guesswork.
When a live service estimate signals a large repair, the agent automatically compares it against the trade-in value and upgrade payment in real time — and creates a CRM lead for your sales team while the customer is still in the write-up. This is only possible when your service and sales data live in the same platform.
Salesperson AI, the CRM AI agent, handles initial outreach, answers common questions, and manages the conversation — escalating to a human rep only when the moment calls for it. Your team works warm leads, not cold lists.
Service advisors can see natively whether a CVR was sent and opened — enabling a natural, informed conversation at check-in. Every interaction is tracked through standard CRM processes, with no separate reporting tool required.
Watch below to see how Inventory AI gives your team
time back and puts it toward what matters.
This Acquisition Belongs to the Whole Team
Because the best deals don't belong to one department. Vehicle Acquisition AI keeps every role informed, aligned, and ready — before the customer even arrives.
Used Car Manager
Tomorrow's best acquisition targets, waiting for you every morning. At check-in, you get a real-time alert with equity position and a customer who's already thinking about a trade — so every conversation starts warm.
Service Advisor
No awkward surprises. You can see natively whether a Customer Vehicle Report was sent and opened, so you're always prepared for the conversation — and ready to make a smooth handoff when the moment is right.
BDC / Internet Sales
Skip the cold outreach. The AI manages initial engagement and follow-up automatically, escalating to your team only when a customer has signaled real interest.
Dealer Principal / GM
Fewer auction runs. Less vendor sprawl. More inventory sourced from loyal customers with known vehicle history — tracked and measurable inside the platform you already run on.
