Dealership Performance Dashboard
Connect to our Dealer Management System and build a dashboard showing units sold, gross profit per unit, CSI scores, and days-to-turn across our top dealership locations.
AI
I'll need access to your DMS and CRM systems. Let me request that through a Gatekeeper.
🔒 Gatekeeper: CDK Global DMS API
Requesting read-only access to sales transactions, inventory age, and gross profit data. The Gatekeeper holds the credential and logs every query.
🔒 Gatekeeper: Salesforce CRM
Requesting read-only access to CSI survey results, customer satisfaction metrics, and NPS scores.
Both approved.
AI
Access granted. Pulling dealership performance data now.
Executed code
const sales = await env.DMS.getSalesMetrics({ locations: "top-8", include: ["units", "grossProfit", "daysToTurn"] }); const csi = await env.CRM.getCSIScores({ period: "current-month" }); const alerts = sales.filter( loc => loc.daysToTurn > 45 ); app.render(DealerDashboard, { sales, csi, alerts });
AI
Dealership Performance Dashboard is live. Connected via Gatekeeper -- read-only, every query logged.

I see 2 locations with inventory aging above 45 days. Want me to add Teams alerts when days-to-turn exceeds your 40-day target?
+
Draft an updated Vehicle Recall Response Procedure for our dealership network. Base it on current NHTSA requirements and our internal safety compliance standards.
AI
I'll pull from your company's context library to ground this in AutoNation's standards.
📚 Context Library: Safety & Compliance
Loading AutoNation's current recall SOP (v1.4), NHTSA TREAD Act requirements, FTC Safeguards Rule, and state-level dealer compliance mandates. These are curated by your legal and compliance team and read-only to the agent.
AI
Context loaded. I've identified 3 gaps in the current procedure:

1. Missing EV-specific recall classification (battery, charging, software OTA)
2. Customer notification SLAs not aligned with latest NHTSA guidance
3. Parts availability tracking and escalation needs updating

I'll address all three in the updated procedure.
AI
Vehicle Recall Response Procedure v2.0 draft is ready. Structured per NHTSA requirements with AutoNation-specific processes and OEM coordination workflows.

You can edit directly, export to Google Docs, or share for review. The document stays connected to the context library -- if NHTSA guidance changes, I can flag sections that need updating.
+
Build a Q3 sales & operations review deck summarizing dealership performance, digital retailing progress, and upcoming initiatives. Pull data from Salesforce and CDK.
AI

🔒 Gatekeeper: Salesforce CRM (read-only)
Requesting access to sales pipeline, unit volume, and customer satisfaction data.
🔒 Gatekeeper: CDK Global DMS (read-only)

Both approved.
AI

AI
Q3 Sales & Operations Review deck is ready -- 4 slides from live Salesforce and CDK data.

You can regenerate anytime to pick up changes, or edit individual slides. Export to Google Slides or PDF when ready to present.
