For dealership BDC teams

Every lead gets a real reply.
In minutes. Around the clock.

Apex BDC picks up the first text, call, and email for your dealership. Your coordinators spend their day with the buyers ready to come in — not the ones who filled out a form at 11 p.m.

Built with dealer GMs · A2P 10DLC compliant · Works with VinSolutions, DealerSocket, and CDK

How it works

An extra set of hands your BDC has been asking for.

Not a replacement for your coordinators. The first response layer that keeps the pipeline warm until one of your people is the right call.

01

A lead lands

A form fills at midnight. A text hits your BDC number. A caller has one question before they'll drive over. Apex catches all of it in one place instead of five.

02

Apex responds first

Within a minute, on the channel the buyer chose. It answers the everyday questions — price, availability, hours, trade process — and asks the next question a good coordinator would ask.

03

Your people take it from there

The moment a buyer is ready for a test drive, a trade number, or a real conversation, the thread lands with the right rep — with the full history attached.

Lead response

The lead that came in overnight is already in a real conversation before you open.

Most deals are lost between the click and the callback. Apex closes that gap without adding a shift to your schedule.

First response, every time

The lead that came in at 2 a.m. doesn't sit until morning. The one that came in during a full showroom doesn't wait until your team catches up.

Same answer, every rep

Your best coordinator on their best day — that's the response every buyer gets, whether it's Tuesday morning or Saturday night.

Nothing falls through

Follow-ups happen on the cadence your team wishes they had time for. Nobody gets forgotten because someone else called out sick.

Voice, text, and email

Whichever way a buyer reaches out, someone is on the other end.

One BDC across three channels. Same tone, same information, one timeline per lead — so nobody starts a conversation twice.

  • Text

    Two-way SMS on your BDC number. Real replies, not blast templates. Buyers text like they'd text a friend, and Apex answers the same way.

  • Voice

    Picks up the calls your team can't get to. Confirms appointments and runs day-before reminders. Sounds like a coordinator, not a phone tree.

  • Email

    Handles the longer questions buyers still send late — trade details, financing, availability across the group.

Is the 2024 Silverado LT still on the lot?
Buyer · 11:42 pm
Yes — the black LT with 12 miles is still available. Would tomorrow morning work to come see it?
Apex BDC · 11:42 pm
Saturday at 10 maybe. What's the payment look like around $2k down?
Buyer · 11:44 pm
I'll get you a real number with Marcus in the morning — he'll text you before 9. Sound good?

Human handoff

Your people, at the moments that decide the sale.

Apex knows what to answer and, more importantly, what to hand off. Trade numbers, financing specifics, an unhappy repeat customer — the thread lands with the right coordinator with everything the buyer already said, before your rep says hello.

Manager visibility

Know what happened with every lead. Not roughly. Exactly.

Nothing about how Apex works is a black box. If a deal fell out, you can see exactly where and why — and change the rule for next time.

  • Every conversation, in one place

    Text, voice, and email against a single lead timeline — not spread across four tabs and someone's memory.

  • Live listen, live jump-in

    Watch a conversation happen. Take it over in one click when your gut says a human should.

  • Rules you set

    Which questions Apex can answer. Which need a person. Which get escalated to a manager. All visible, all editable.

  • Reviewable after the fact

    Every reply and every call is saved. Coach with actual transcripts, not what someone remembers happened.

Built to be trusted

Compliance and audit trail are the product, not an afterthought.

A BDC that touches thousands of buyers a month can't run on vibes. Every message Apex sends is registered, consented, quiet-hours aware, and logged against the lead — so your GM, your compliance lead, and your carrier are all working from the same record.

Every dealership rooftop provisioned on a compliant messaging brand and campaign before a single text goes out.

TCPA quiet hours enforced

No outbound texts or calls between 9 pm and 8 am local to the lead — enforced at the orchestrator, not by hoping a rep remembers.

Consent captured and stored

Opt-in evidence saved against every lead. STOP and HELP handled automatically and honored across every channel.

Full transcript audit trail

Every message, call recording, and system decision is written to an immutable lead timeline your managers can review at any time.

The GM questions

What every dealer principal asks first.

No. Apex BDC is the first response layer your team already wishes it had. Your coordinators still own the relationship — they just stop starting every conversation from behind.
