Built for Tekion Dealers

AI Lead Follow-Up That Plugs Into Tekion

Tekion modernized your DMS — but built-in automation still sends templated nudges and stops after a handful. DealFlo forwards your Tekion leads in by ADF, opens with the angle that matches the source, and keeps every lead warm for up to three years.

Tekion runs the platform. Riley runs the conversations.

DealFlo accepts ADF leads forwarded from Tekion and routes each to a source-aware campaign — KBB, CarGurus, AutoTrader, dealer website, lease-end, service RO. Riley handles the text thread, answers objections without quoting numbers, and hands warm leads to your team. Tekion stays your DMS, CRM, and reporting system of record.

What changes for your Tekion store in week one

ADF forwarding in minutes

Forward your Tekion ADF lead feed to your DealFlo address. Leads land in DealFlo within 30 seconds and get a source-aware first text — no integration slot, no rollout timeline.

Source-aware openers, every lead

Riley reads the provider field and adapts. KBB gets the trade-value angle, CarGurus gets inventory positioning, dealer-website leads get vehicle-of-interest follow-up, service ROs get the equity angle.

Follow-up that doesn't tap out

Riley works 13 touchpoints across three years and layers buyback, equity, lease-end, and dead-lead angles — so your Tekion lead pool compounds into appointments instead of decaying.

Warm handoff to your Tekion user

When a lead is appointment-ready, Riley alerts the assigned rep with the full thread and next step, so your team logs it in Tekion and walks into a warm setup.

Always-on inbound coverage

Riley answers texts the instant they land — nights, weekends, holidays — with a real reply that moves toward a visit. No lead waits until the store reopens.

Escalates only real human moments

Price, financing, availability, and callback requests are handled naturally and bridged to an appointment. Your team is pinged only when a customer truly wants a person.

Hey Alicia — Riley at Horizon Kia. You looked at the 2024 Telluride on CarGurus. Is the Telluride the one, or are you weighing it against a couple others?
Between that and the Palisade
RILEY
Classic matchup — they're basically cousins. Fastest way to know is drive them back to back. Want me to have the Telluride pulled up and ready so it's a real comparison and not a guessing game?
Sure, sometime this week
RILEY
Thursday evening or Saturday morning easier? I'll make sure it's up front and ready to go when you get here.

Common questions about Tekion

How does DealFlo connect to Tekion?

By ADF email forwarding. Forward your Tekion lead feed to your DealFlo address — about 5 minutes. Leads arrive within 30 seconds with the source intact. No API build or integration slot required.

Will Riley write activity back into Tekion?

Direct write-back is on our roadmap. Today, threads are exportable and warm-handoff alerts include the appointment and customer details, so your Tekion user can log the activity fast.

Isn't Tekion's automation enough?

Tekion's automation sends templated nudges on a schedule. Riley is a live conversation — it reads the full history, adapts to the source, handles objections, and never repeats itself. That's the gap between a reminder and a real follow-up.

Does it replace our BDC?

No. Riley handles the hundreds of touches that keep leads warm so your BDC works warm conversations. Most stores redeploy a rep or two to confirmations and floor coverage.

How soon do results show up?

Most Tekion dealers book an appointment from a dead lead within the first week, with compounding gains around month two as older pools re-convert.

What does it cost?

$1,795/month, unlimited leads and conversations across every campaign type. No setup fees, no contracts, 14-day free trial.
