Conversica and AutoAlert Deepen Partnership to Ensure a Fast COVID-19 Recovery

Conversica, Inc., the category creator and leader in Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVA) which helps organizations attract, acquire and grow customers at scale, announced today an expanded partnership with AutoAlert, a recognized leader in innovation in the automotive software space. AutoAlert now offers the full breadth of capabilities and skills for the Conversica Automotive Sales AI Assistant and the Conversica Automotive Service AI Assistant to significantly accelerate revenue across sales and service while also delivering an integrated platform to provide a better customer experience. This announcement comes at a time when the automotive industry—like many others—is under great pressure during these uncertain times and they must be ready to bounce back quickly as dealerships safely reopen.

Conversica’s Intelligent Virtual Assistants enable dealerships to drive appointments for repair orders at their essential Service Centers and ensure follow-up with prospective car buyers who are sheltered in place. By engaging contacts through natural two-way, digital conversations, Conversica ensures that dealerships respond quickly and consistently to inbound leads as well as drive outgoing service reminders to customers – all via a customer experience that is timely, personalized, polite and persistent. AutoAlert’s CXM (Customer Experience Management) optimizes complex customer journey data from a myriad of sources to communicate personalized key to key offers to qualified buyers from the dealer’s database. Together, AutoAlert and Conversica can deliver a seamless digital experience to their customers.
