Features Only Available on Real Time Feedback

Review Removal

We continuously analyze your Google reviews with AI to identify likely policy violations, explain why flagged reviews may qualify for removal, and help your team take the right next steps.

Trigger Codes™

Use pre-programmed QR alert codes that let customers or employees report specific issues in seconds without typing, long forms, or app downloads.

Cross Pollinated Reviews™

Balance review growth across the rooftops, profiles, and destinations that matter most instead of sending every happy customer to the same site every time.

Second Chance Alert™

Be alerted when a customer who previously had an issue returns to your dealership, so your team has the chance to win them back, provide a more personal experience, and make their next visit exceptional.

CSI Survey Reminder

Increase survey completion by layering timed reminder workflows on top of your current CSI provider instead of forcing the dealership to replace an existing process.

Customer Generated Content

Capture authentic customer testimonial videos directly from happy buyers and service customers so your dealership can build trust with real stories instead of staged marketing copy.

Digital Glove Box™

Give drivers a branded tap-or-scan hub for service, roadside assistance, documents, and dealership communication without searching, downloading, or calling around.

Multi-Link Page

Give shoppers and customers one branded destination with picture tiles linked to financing, trade-in, service scheduling, inventory, specials, roadside help, and anything else that matters to the dealership experience.

Glass Door Reviews

Route top employee feedback into public Glass Door review opportunities while keeping the rest internal so dealership leadership can strengthen employer reputation without losing visibility into staff concerns.

Lost & Found

Easily catalog found items in the platform along with digital pictures for faster tracking, simpler follow-up, and a smoother customer experience when items are recovered.
