Built for car dealerships

The operating layer for your dealership.

Geofenced timecards, internal messaging, and customer texts — all without your team using personal phone numbers. iOS, watchOS, Android, and Wear OS.

No credit card required to start. Free tier available.

Designed alongside GMs from dealer groups across the West Coast

Everything your dealership runs on, in one app.

We replaced timesheets, group texts, and the personal-number-leak problem with one platform built specifically for the way dealerships actually operate.

Geofenced timecards

Polygon geofences with satellite imagery so you draw around the actual lot, not a road outline. Multi-zone support for showroom, service, and parts.

Auto clock-in / clock-out

Employees confirm a clock-in the moment they arrive on premise. Reminders trigger when they leave the geofence. Optional fully automatic with admin opt-in.

Internal messaging

1:1 and group chats for sales, service, BDC, and managers. No more group texts on personal phones. Searchable history.

Customer texts, no personal numbers

Each rep gets a dedicated number through the app. Customer texts arrive in their app inbox. When the rep moves on, the number stays with the dealership.

Watch and phone parity

Apple Watch and Wear OS apps surface clock state and unread messages. Live Activities on the iPhone lock screen during a shift.

Audit-ready

Every clock event captures location accuracy, battery, and timestamp. Defends against payroll disputes and comp claims.

Live in your dealership in under five minutes.

Frequently asked questions

How does the geofence know when someone is on premise?+

The mobile app uses native location region monitoring (CoreLocation on iOS, GeofencingClient on Android). It runs in the background with very low battery impact and triggers entry/exit events as the employee crosses your defined boundary.

Do employees pay anything?+

No. The mobile apps are free in the App Store and Play Store. Only the dealership pays — billed per site, not per employee.

What happens to a salesperson's customer text history when they leave?+

Their dedicated phone number is owned by the dealership, not the employee. When they leave, you can reassign the number and history to a new rep so the customer relationship continues seamlessly.

Can I require a confirmation before the system clocks someone in automatically?+

Yes. Each site can choose: confirm on every clock event, fully automatic with notification, or manual only. Defaults to confirm-on-every-event.

How accurate is the location tracking?+

We use horizontal accuracy thresholds with multi-sample validation to avoid GPS drift false-triggers. Optional BLE beacon support for indoor zones (service bays, showroom) keeps you accurate where GPS struggles.

Is this compliant with payroll regulations?+

Every clock event is timestamped and stored with location accuracy and battery state. Exports are formatted for ADP, Paychex, and most major payroll providers. We do not give legal advice — confirm with your payroll partner.
