Built for VinSolutions Dealers

AI Lead Follow-Up That Plugs Into VinSolutions in Minutes

Most AI tools your VinSolutions vendor recommends ignore the lead source field — same canned text to a KBB shopper, a CarGurus lead, and a 6-month-old dead lead. DealFlo reads the source from your ADF, adapts the opener, and never repeats an angle.

Source-aware. ADF-native. No new CRM to learn.

DealFlo accepts ADF leads forwarded directly from VinSolutions. Every lead routes to the right campaign with a source-specific opener — KBB, CarGurus, AutoTrader, dealer website, lease-end, service RO. Riley runs the conversation. You keep VinSolutions as the system of record.

What changes for your VS dealership in week one

ADF email forwarding in 5 minutes

Add a forwarding rule from your VinSolutions ADF inbox to your DealFlo address. Every new lead lands in DealFlo within 30 seconds and gets a source-aware first text — before your BDC sees the notification.

Source detection on every lead

Riley reads the <provider> field in the ADF and adapts. KBB shoppers get the price-report angle. CarGurus leads get inventory positioning. Dealer-website leads get vehicle-of-interest follow-up. Service ROs get the equity angle.

Warm handoff back to your VS user

When a lead is appointment-ready, Riley alerts your assigned salesperson with the full conversation thread and a clear next step. Your team picks up warm conversations — no cold-lead surprise.

3-year follow-up across 13 touchpoints

Every lead stays active up to 3 years. Riley layers buyback, lease-end, equity-mining, and dead-lead reactivation campaigns on top of standard follow-up. Your VS lead pool compounds instead of decaying.

Doesn't replace VinSolutions — runs alongside it

DealFlo is your AI BDC layer. VinSolutions stays your CRM of record, your appointment system, your reporting dashboard. We just handle the conversations VS doesn't do well — text follow-up at scale, after hours, across every campaign type.

Smart escalation, not constant alerts

Price questions, financing, vehicle availability, callback requests — Riley handles all of these naturally with the right deflection and bridge to an appointment. Your team gets pinged only when a lead genuinely asks for a real person.

Hey John — Riley from Premier Auto. Saw you ran a KBB report on the 2024 Camry. Was that for a trade you're shopping, or just figuring out where you stand?
Just looking at trade values for now
RILEY
Got it. Best way to get a real number is bring it by — takes 15 min and our used car manager writes the check on the spot if the number makes sense. No commitment to buy anything. When works for you?
Maybe Saturday morning
RILEY
Saturday at 10 work? I'll have the appraiser ready and your KBB report pulled up so we can compare side by side.

Common questions about VinSolutions

How does DealFlo connect to VinSolutions?

Through ADF email forwarding. Set up a rule on your VinSolutions ADF inbox to forward leads to your DealFlo address — takes 5 minutes. Every lead lands in DealFlo within 30 seconds with the source field intact.

Will Riley write activity back into VinSolutions?

Two-way write-back via VinSolutions Event Sinks is on the roadmap. Today, conversation threads are fully exportable, and warm handoff alerts include the appointment time and customer details so your VS user can log the activity in seconds.

Does DealFlo replace my BDC team?

No. Riley is the layer above your BDC — handling the 200+ touches it takes to keep a lead warm so your BDC closes warm conversations instead of chasing cold ones. Most dealers free up 1–2 BDC reps to focus on confirmations and showroom setups.

What about leads without a source field in the ADF?

Riley falls back to a strong generic opener that asks a single qualifying question. The source-specific magic kicks in the moment a usable provider field is present — which is most of the time on VinSolutions feeds.

How long until we see results?

Most VinSolutions dealers see their first new appointment from a previously-dead lead within the first 7 days. The compounding effect kicks in at month 2 — older lead pools start re-converting at rates you stopped expecting.

What does the dealership plan cost?

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