The Challenge

As an independent dealer, floorplan interest was eating into Freedom's margins.

Cars were sitting on the lot for 45+ days because they relied on passive web traffic (people browsing CarGurus/Autotrader) to find them.

They had no mechanism to notify past shoppers when a specific car they wanted arrived in stock.

The Solution

Wish-List Automation

We built a "Virtual Garage" for every lead. If a customer wanted a Ford F-150 but you didn't have one, the system remembered.

Arrival Alerts

The moment a matching vehicle was booked into inventory, AutoMaster automatically texted every matching prospect: "The F-150 you wanted just landed."

Pre-Selling

Many cars were sold before they even finished detailing, purely from the automated waitlist activation.

Record-Breaking ROI

The Impact: Cash Flow Velocity

Average turn time dropped to 18 days, slashing floorplan interest costs.
30% of sales now occur within 48 hours of vehicle acquisition.
Gross profit holds steady as customers perceive the 'Arrival Alert' as exclusive VIP service.

"I don't worry about cars aging out anymore. If I buy the right inventory, AutoMaster finds the buyer instantly. It's like having a pre-sold order bank."
