Motorgas: AI across the car trade

A complete CRM with AI in every part of the work of a car importer and dealer, from finding the right car to selling it, along with the whole public website.

The challenge

In this trade, it all starts with what you buy

Finding the right deals used to mean hours going through listings. And a good price isn’t enough: the car has to suit the market it will be sold in, with the options buyers there expect.

After that, every vehicle still has to be checked, photographed, listed, invoiced and followed up. Motorgas needed one system for the whole chain, with AI doing the heavy lifting at each step.

The workflow

From a listing to a sold car

Each vehicle follows the same path through the CRM, and AI helps at every stage.

The good deals come to the dealer

Rather than spending hours searching, the dealer selects the sites to follow and the criteria that matter. The cars that could sell well then land in one list, ranked.

Is this car actually sellable?

An Audi S3 generally sells well, but only with the right options: four doors, a sunroof, heated seats and so on.

The AI checks whether the listing has them, and whether the maintenance it mentions is in order. When something is missing, it steers the questions to ask the seller towards exactly that.

Not selling just anything

Each vehicle gets a full analysis against the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance. At 120,000 km, for example, that can mean a gearbox oil change and an engine oil change.

The points depend on the vehicle, its engine, its year and its specifics, so the dealer knows what to look at before selling.

We don’t sell another car. We sell the same car, somewhere else.

Typical AI studios

  • Replace the background
  • The car looks poorly pasted in
  • Risk of showing a car that isn’t quite the real one

The Motorgas studio

  • Creates a completely different environment
  • Keeps the same vehicle
  • Keeps its flaws, because that is the car being sold

The website
