Trade Copilot

Dealer-controlled trade, sell, match-or-beat, and pre-approval

Trade Copilot is a dealer-controlled acquisition workflow — embeddable on your site or VDP. It captures the customer, produces a transparent market-and-book range, gathers real written-offer proof for match-or-beat, and routes a clean, SMS-verified payload to your offer desk and CRM.

The problem

Most trade tools spit out a guest estimate and lose the shopper. Competitor-offer widgets auto-claim verification you can't stand behind. And acquisition, equity, replacement intent, and finance readiness scatter across disconnected forms.

Capabilities

What Trade Copilot does

01

Shopper flows

Three paths into acquisition — range, match-or-beat, and pre-approval.

Market range widget

Customer-facing trade range powered by live market data plus dealer-selected valuation books — KBB, Black Book, and market blend weights you control.

Match-or-beat intake

Collects CarMax, Carvana, KBB Instant Offer, or other written-offer proof for manual appraiser review. No automatic verification claim — the dealer confirms after inspection.

Proof checklist

Requires offer amount, expiration, vehicle identity, reference when visible, mileage, and screenshot, PDF, or email image before the offer desk sees it.

Pre-approval path

No-trade and post-trade shoppers can move into a soft-pull style approval and payment-range flow — finance-ready handoff with or without a trade.

02

Offer desk

Structured review for appraisers — proof, inspection, and response.

Dealer offer desk

Creates a structured review payload with statuses for proof review, expired offers, vehicle mismatches, inspection, and dealer response — from submitted through dealer offer ready.

Desk market intel

Shows supply, demand, days-to-sell, comparable retail listings, recon reserve, and margin holdback in desk mode — while the shopper view stays simple.

SMS-verified leads

Confirms the shopper's phone before a lead becomes callable and before payloads are sent to the desk. Verification is re-checked server-side.

03

Platform

Server-side config, embeddable widget, and downstream handoff.

Dealer controls

Dealer setup manages brand color, theme, valuation weights, trade bonuses, recon, margin, taxes, fees, and embed code — all persisted server-side.

CRM and Buyer Center handoff

Packages shopper, vehicle, appraisal, equity, replacement intent, and offer-review details into a structured JSON payload for CRM and Buyer Center follow-up.

Sell or trade routing

Acquisition flow asks whether the customer wants cash, replacement inventory, or a locate request — so the desk knows the outcome they're working toward.

Shopper acquisition flow

Range → match-or-beat → sell → pre-approve.

The live paths from a transparent market range to written-offer proof, verified acquisition intent, and finance-ready handoff — routed to your offer desk.

Shopper acquisition flow

Market range, match-or-beat proof, sell-or-trade intent, and pre-approval — verified contacts routed to your offer desk.

How it works

From signal to action

01

See market range

Shopper gets a transparent low-to-high range from live market data and dealer-selected books.

02

Upload instant offer

Shopper can ask the dealer to match or beat a written CarMax, Carvana, or KBB Instant Offer — with proof attached.

03

Sell or trade

Acquisition flow captures cash, replacement, or locate intent; SMS verification locks in a callable contact.

04

Get pre-approved

Customer can move into a payment and approval path with or without a trade — routed as a structured payload to your desk.

FAQ

Trade Copilot — common questions

Quick answers on how this capability fits your store and the wider platform.

What is Trade Copilot?

Trade Copilot is a dealer-controlled acquisition workflow — embeddable trade range, match-or-beat intake, sell-or-trade routing, and pre-approval paths with SMS-verified leads sent to your offer desk and CRM.

Can shoppers upload a CarMax or KBB offer?

Yes. Match-or-beat intake collects written-offer proof for manual appraiser review. The platform never auto-labels a competitor offer as verified — the dealer confirms after inspection.

Is Trade Copilot embeddable on our website?

Yes. Trade Copilot deploys as an embeddable widget on your site or VDP. Brand, valuation blend, margins, and recon settings load from server-side dealer configuration.
