Live in weeks, not a months-long project.
CarConnective rolls out in baby steps — never a big-bang switch. Your DMS and CRM stay put; it's the dozen rented point tools around them that get replaced, in step, and nothing turns off until its replacement is proven live. You start recovering gross inside the first month. Here's the typical path for a dealer group.
Sixteen weeks, phased.
Kickoff & connect
We stand up your isolated instance and connect to your DMS and CRM — they stay in place; we read and write to them. Historical data is ingested and we map the rented point tools we'll replace. Native lead capture (ADF/XML) is switched on.
Needs: DMS/CRM access, lead-source routing, a 60-minute kickoff.
First modules live — the fast wins
Speed-to-lead goes live (Sales AI / ConnectBDC answering in <60s) and Declined-Service Recovery starts re-selling deferred work. You see recovered gross inside the first month.
Needs: sign-off on outbound consent + messaging voice.
Fixed ops + trade capture
ServiceDrive + ServiceLine take service booking and inbound calls; Equity Mining and Lease-End begin surfacing trades before the captive lender calls.
Needs: service scheduler rules, appraisal ranges confirmed.
Marketing, reputation & F&I
Sentinel + Reputation protect CSI and reviews; Content & Merchandising and Lifecycle take outreach; F&I ReEngagement recovers declined VSC/GAP.
Needs: review-platform access, F&I product menu.
Full suite + the operator view
The Operator Dashboard, compliance spine and remaining modules come online — the GM logs into one screen across every rooftop. The rented tools they replace come off the bill in step.
Needs: per-rooftop rollout schedule.
Prove it, then replace it.
Every module goes live alongside the tool it replaces and has to out-perform it on your real data before the old one is switched off. That's how a group moves its whole stack onto owned infrastructure without a single day of risk — and why the first recovered gross shows up in weeks, not quarters.
