AI call answering for Vehicle dealerships and service centres

Capture sales and service enquiries while advisers are busy

Route sales enquiries and service requests while advisers are with customers.

Answers grounded in your business

Vehicle listings, branch hours, test-drive procedures and service packages. Advisers confirm stock, appointments and any finance discussion.

Load the approved sources your team uses. Sofie asks relevant follow-up questions, keeps the conversation focused and passes questions outside that information to the right person. Keep time-sensitive information up to date; a supplied document is not a live system connection.

Set up the questions and the next step

Load the right information

Vehicle listings, branch hours, test-drive procedures and service packages. Advisers confirm stock, appointments and any finance discussion.

Agree the routing

Choose who receives test drive request enquiries and who handles service booking enquiry requests. Provide branch contacts, coverage hours and any approved escalation rules.

Test the fallback

Test an answered call, a question missing from the knowledge sources and a transfer nobody accepts. Agree what the caller hears and who follows up.

Common questions

Can There247 confirm bookings, availability or account changes?

The examples on this page capture and route enquiries. Your team confirms bookings, stock, attendance and account changes. Sofie can share approved information, including supplied prices or availability, with any relevant date or limitation.

What if the caller needs a person?

Sofie can introduce the caller to the appropriate team member under your rules. Warm transfers are available on Premium and Business. If nobody answers, use your agreed fallback and notification route.

Can we use it only when the team is busy or closed?

Yes. Agree when calls should reach There247 and configure the routing for your existing number and phone provider. Test the arrangement before relying on it.

Try it with the calls your business receives

Tell us about your services, hours, knowledge sources and call-handling rules. We help configure and test your call handling. Your seven-day trial starts once forwarding is connected and the service is activated. Keep your existing business number and agree when There247 should answer.
