Skedva integrates with popular automotive CRMs including CDK, DealerSocket, and Salesforce Automotive, as well as generic CRMs used by independent dealerships.

Skedva reads service-due dates or mileage data from your DMS, then automatically sends personalised reminders via the customer's preferred channel — SMS, WhatsApp, or email — weeks before the due date.

Can automation help with trade-in and financing inquiries?

Yes. Automated workflows can qualify trade-in interest, collect vehicle details, and route hot leads to finance managers, significantly shortening the sales cycle.
