Let buyers build their own deal before they visit: The shop-by-payment widget lets buyers configure a deal on your Vehicle Detail Page — term, down payment, and financing type — to see a real-time estimated monthly payment. When they arrive, the rep opens their Up Sheet and the conversation starts where the buyer left off.

Core capabilities
The Buying Experience Your Customers Already Expect
Today’s car buyers expect online shopping, pricing transparency, and a smoother path from research to showroom. AutoRaptor Digital Retail gives high-volume dealerships the tools to meet that expectation without the enterprise price tag.
Soft Credit Pre-Qualification
Buyers submit a soft-pull credit application right on your website — no hard inquiry, no risk to their score. Your team receives a pre-qualified lead with financing context already attached.
Trade-In Valuation Built In
Buyers enter their vehicle details and get an instant valuation powered by your provider. Trade-in data flows directly into AutoRaptor so your team can structure the deal before the customer arrives.
Full Activity Intelligence in AutoRaptor
Every VDP view, form start, form submit, chatbot conversation, and repeat visit is tracked on the customer's timeline in AutoRaptor — so your team knows exactly how engaged each buyer is before making contact.
From First Click to Signed Deal, All Inside AutoRaptor
Most buyers do their research before they ever contact a dealership. AutoRaptor's digital retail tools meet them where they are — on your website — and bring everything they do there directly into your CRM so your team picks up exactly where the buyer left off.
Pre-qualified buyers, before they walk in the door: The soft-credit pre-qualification widget lets buyers check financing eligibility on your website with no hard inquiry and no score impact. AutoRaptor creates an Up Sheet with the result, contact details, and vehicle already attached — qualifying work done before the first conversation.
Turn trade-ins into your competitive advantage: The trade-in valuation tool gives buyers an instant estimate on your website. Buyers with positive equity are automatically surfaced as equity-mining opportunities — warm leads from existing customers with a built-in reason to buy again.
Give buyers a place to pick up where they left off: The customer portal lets buyers save vehicles, review their deal, upload documents, and communicate with your team. Every interaction is tracked on their activity timeline so your team knows exactly when to reach out.
Know exactly how interested every buyer is before you call: Every website interaction — VDP views, repeat visits, payment configurations, and form submits — is tracked on the buyer's timeline. AutoRaptor shows you who's serious and who to call first.

“I interviewed 10 different CRM companies, and I don’t see anyone else doing it quite like you guys are. One of the things I liked the most is that everything fell under the same umbrella: your CRM and AI fuse.”
