Where these products get stuck

What gets in the way, and how we handle it.

  1. 01

    Rented tools that do not know your people

    Built on your own people data

    Assignments and reports follow the portal's own titles and locations.

  2. 02

    Managers who should see only their stores

    Access scoped by location

    Managers see only the locations assigned to them.

What dealer groups ask before they start

Short answers for the people who run the rooftops.

  • Each manager sees only the locations assigned to them.
  • Your people data and deal data stay in your own accounts.
  • Nothing replaces the DMS; tools read from it and write back only where you allow.
  • Every release is checked on staging by your team before it reaches the stores.

What we have built that this rests on.

Multi-location RV dealership group

Dealer groups · Staff training

Dealership staff get training assigned by title and location inside their own portal

Training ran on a rented platform outside the staff portal; now courses, assignments and reports live inside it, on the portal's own people records.

Dealer groups · Packages and invoicing

RV dealers build add-on packages, invoice them and see profit per deal

Advisers needed packages built from inventory and invoiced through financing. Now one platform does both and shows profit per deal.

Dealer CRM · Platform modernization

Dealers kept using their portal daily while we rebuilt it module by module

Dealers relied on a portal run on per dealer scripts. We rebuilt it module by module while they worked, and grew it into a CRM and more.

How it works

Three ways to start, each at a fixed price.

Most dealer groups start with a Planning Sprint, to map the tools each rooftop runs and pick the first workflow worth automating.

AI Scorecard

$5,000 fixed2 weeks

Pick it when: You have already built or tried an AI feature in your platform, live or not.

  • One AI feature you have built, tested in staging on 50 of your own shopper conversations, with names and contact details removed
  • Tests for sold units, wrong prices, another dealer's stock and prompt injection
  • Cost per dealer and a packaging recommendation
  • A scorecard, ranked fixes, draft security answers and a fixed quote

Not a compliance audit or certification.

How the AI Scorecard works

Production, at a fixed quote

We take what your Sprint built or planned live for your dealers, by pull request, with no standing production access. It typically includes load testing at your peak and a spend cap per dealer. Your Sprint or Scorecard fee counts toward it.

After go-live, optional support

The product is finished and yours to run. If you want us to stay on: a named lead engineer, a monthly quality and cost report, testing before any model change, and more capabilities, each at its own fixed quote.

Stop after any Sprint and keep what you got.

How a Build Sprint runs

  • In the setup week we map your feeds and integrations and agree what the Sprint touches.
  • We follow your coding standards, tests and CI; your engineers review and merge every pull request.
  • Half at signature, half when the Sprint Pack is delivered.
  • Your time: about 2 to 3 hours a week from a product owner, plus an engineer to review pull requests.

Product improvements you can measure

What we agree to measure: quality and cost on test sets in the Build Sprint, adoption and outcomes once it is in production, so the decision to go further is made on evidence.

01

Training completed by role

Measure

Completion by title and location

02

Profit visible per deal

Measure

Deals with package profit recorded

We set the success measures with you in the setup week.

Built for dealer data

Controls your customers' security reviews ask about.

Each control is a design fact about how the module is built and how we work, not a compliance claim.

  • Works with your feeds and CRMs

    Reads inventory feeds, leads and CRM records through the APIs and roles your product already has.

  • Test data in Sprints

    Sprint work uses test inventory and synthetic shoppers and ships as pull requests to your repo.

  • Live stock only, and people send

    Answers come from the dealer's feed; every text or email to a shopper waits for a person.

We work within your FTC Safeguards Rule, TCPA, privacy and dealer data requirements. Compliance depends on the complete product, contracts, policies and operating environment; Datics does not present software engineering alone as legal certification.

How we handle dealer and shopper data

See it on your own platform.

Bring one product, workflow or AI feature. In 30 minutes we tell you which of the three ways to start fits, what it would cost to serve per dealer and what your dealers' data questions will be.

Calls run in US Central time. No generic AI presentation: we discuss your product, users and production constraints.
