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. 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.
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
Principal Desk, the compliance spine and remaining modules come online — the group runs on one system across every site. The rented tools they replace come off the bill in step.
Needs: per-site 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.
Map the first 90 days for your group.
Book a stack review and we'll turn this into a dated rollout plan against your sites, your DMS and your book.
