// auto dealers · the augmentation play

Run by AI.
Owned by you.

A free flash audit reads your store before we ever talk. Every lead answered in under a minute, your dead pipeline worked back to life, every customer remembered — proven against your own baseline.

Most vendors sell you software and walk. Fianna stands up a dealership AI OS on infrastructure you own — a fixed build that proves the lift, then a flat managed license that keeps it sharp. The cleaner database, the follow-up that never sleeps, the pricing and service-retention plays — augmentations layered onto the stack you already run. Fire us and keep the system.

augmentation/ɔːɡ·menˈteɪ·ʃən/ noun · the industry's word for it Adaptive AI overlaid onto the platforms a store already runs — improving the marketing, the sales floor, and the service drive without ripping out the stack. Software replacement comes later, if it pays. — here: where the money actually is.
01 the flash audit // free · per-store · we know you before we meet

We've read your store
before we ever meet.

Before a single call, our agent studies your rooftop — inventory, market, reviews, web presence, the comps down the road — and an operator curates it by hand. We reverse-engineer your likely marketing, your sales script, your pricing posture, and where the profit is leaking. It's a hypothesis we hand you to test, not a generic report.

WHAT WE PULL

Your store, from the outside in.

Inventory mix · pricing vs. market · review & reputation signals · web and ad footprint · the competing rooftops in your DMA. Public data, read like an operator reads it.

WHAT WE ESTIMATE

The leaks, reverse-engineered.

Where leads go cold · what marketing is overpaying for · where F&I and service retention drop margin · the high-ROI use case worth starting on. Curated per store — sharp, sometimes wrong, always specific.

WHAT YOU GET

A free read you keep.

A flash report and walkthrough, on us. No call required to start, no pitch attached. If we're off, you tell us where — that's the conversation. If we're close, you already see the money.

02 the deep audit // $5,000 · the deposit on the long game

The deposit on
the long game.

The paid audit is where we stop guessing and start measuring. We analyze the whole operation hands-on, design the complete system, and set the baseline we'll measure everything against — then hand you the build plan and the business case. Built from the salesperson and marketing seat first — because that's where the money is — and tech-stack-agnostic by design, so what you get is a system, not a dependency. Your deposit credits toward the build.

DIAGNOSE · the whole operation

Everything, mapped to your reality.

  • Full process, data, and workflow inventory
  • Marketing and sales motion mapped end to end
  • The high-ROI first use case, named and costed
  • A baseline we can measure against later
PLAN · costed & scoped

A blueprint, not a slide deck.

  • Complete system designed against your reality
  • Projected ROI on the first high-ROI use case
  • Build scoped month-by-month
  • Deposit credited toward the build

// Every store is different. Where we start depends on your first high-ROI use case — we only take the work where the return is real, because the back end pays us on performance, not hours.

03 what we augment // marketing & sales first · software last

The money is on the floor,
not in the software.

Way more profit lives in marketing accuracy, sales follow-up, and service-drive retention than in swapping out tools. So that's where we start. Replacing software to save cost comes after — once the augmentations have already paid for themselves.

We wrote the national read on this: The State of the Dealer 2026 → — where the money is, where it leaks ($15–23B/yr recoverable), and the eight operator archetypes.

MARKETING ACCURACY

Stop overpaying for the wrong shopper.

Reverse-engineered, store-specific campaigns and spend — targeting the buyers actually in your market, measured to the sale. Accuracy over volume.

SALES & FOLLOW-UP

Follow-up that never sleeps.

Instant lead response, 24/7 qualification, and a sales motion coached and enhanced per rep — no lead going cold because the floor got busy.

CUSTOMER & SERVICE

A cleaner database than you have today.

Per-customer memory and automated car-and-service follow-up on a far cleaner database — reselling, retention, and the service drive, automated where it pays.

04 the deal // two services · one OS · you own it

A build that proves it.
A license you own.

Free flash audit to start. A paid deep audit to scope it. A fixed 3-month build that guarantees an outcome against your own baseline. Then the long game — a flat per-rooftop license that keeps the engine sharp, and when you're ready, The Books: automated bookkeeping with a fractional CFO who signs off before anything posts. No percentages, no lock-in — the asset is yours from day one.
