Platform

One platform. Every motion of the deal.

From the first ADF lead to the desking handoff, Dealer Forge connects every team, every store, and every conversation in a hierarchy you can audit.

Lead Management

ADF/XML ingestion, website forms, and third-party feeds with automatic duplicate rejection. Round-robin routing honors role, store, and availability.

  • 8 canonical statuses, audited end to end
  • Hot/warm/cold scoring on a 0–100 scale
  • Configurable AI auto-responder with SLA

Customer 360

Profiles with consent, segmentation, and a unified activity timeline. Vehicle of Interest, trade-ins, co-buyers, sales history, and online behavior on one screen.

  • VIN decode and trade comparison tools
  • License OCR scan capture
  • Soft-delete with hierarchy preservation

Deals & Desking

Explicit "Desk Deal" handoff opens the full worksheet. Customer → Lead → Deal hierarchy stays bidirectionally in sync, never silently mutated.

  • 0–100 deal probability scoring
  • Front/back gross sales log
  • Bidirectional status sync

Madison AI

Conversational SMS assistant with tool calling — searches inventory, schedules appointments, updates profiles, and adds to wishlist, all under your governance.

  • After-hours modes: respond / acknowledge / silent
  • Auto follow-up engine with caps
  • Personality and FAQ configuration
Lead Engine

Every lead, captured. Every duplicate, killed.

Pull from ADF, your website, social, phone, and third parties through a single ingestion layer. Active duplicates are rejected at the door so reps never chase the same buyer twice.

Granular auto-responder rulesExclusions by source, hours, and status — Madison handles the rest within SLA.
Round-robin you can trustHonors store assignment, role, and live availability. Configurable per department.
Audited status changesEvery transition lands in lead_status_audit with actor and timestamp.
