Protect trade-in margin and defend service retention.
A connected crew of Contexts, Workflows, and Guardrails that builds every trade-in offer from Redbook and carsales evidence, and turns Xtime service history into customers who come back.
For dealer principals, used-car managers, and service managers.
Pulls Redbook valuations and live carsales comps for the same make, model, and spec to generate an evidenced trade-in offer range and used-stock price — the highest-leverage moment in a used deal.
Context
Service Retention Advisor
Reads Xtime service history and scheduling to flag customers overdue or lapsing on service, ranked by revenue opportunity — fixed ops is the most consistent profit centre and the easiest to silently lose.
Guardrail
Appraisal Integrity Guard
Blocks any trade-in offer or used-stock price that deviates beyond tolerance from Redbook/carsales-evidenced value in either direction — protecting margin on the buy side and competitiveness on the sell side.
Guardrail
Vehicle Disclosure Guard
Blocks any AI-generated listing or customer comms that omit required disclosures — odometer reading, written-off status, PPSR finance owing, or statutory warranty terms — under Australian Consumer Law.
Workflow
Trade-in Appraisal Pipeline
Redbook value → carsales comps → an evidenced, defensible offer range that turns any enquiry or walk-in into a deal.
Workflow
Service Win-Back Pipeline
Xtime overdue flag → reminder drafted → booking link sent, recovering lapsing service customers before they leave for an independent.

Redbook
Trade-in and market valuations by make, model, and condition.
New-car margin is set by the manufacturer, so dealership profit lives in the trade-in and the service drive. Buy a trade too high and the used deal loses money before it is listed. Buy it too low and the sale walks. Fixed ops is the steadiest profit centre a dealership has, and the easiest to lose without noticing.
The Appraisal Agent pulls Redbook valuations and live carsales comps for the same make, model, and spec into an evidenced offer range. The Service Retention Advisor reads Xtime history to rank customers overdue or lapsing by revenue opportunity. The Used Stock Merchandiser watches days-on-lot and recommends the reprice, and the Lead Response Agent answers carsales enquiries while the lead is warm. The Trade-in Appraisal Pipeline, Service Win-Back Pipeline, and Ageing Stock Reprice turn each of those reads into an offer, a booking, or a refreshed listing.
Appraisals stop depending on which manager is on the floor. Lapsed service customers hear from you before they find an independent. Every listing carries its required disclosures before it goes live.
Trade-ins that hold margin
Pull Redbook valuations and live carsales comps for the same make, model, and spec to generate an evidenced offer range — the highest-leverage moment in a used deal.
Service retention defended
Read Xtime history to flag customers overdue or lapsing, ranked by revenue opportunity, and win them back before they leave for an independent.
Compliant and evidenced
An appraisal-integrity guardrail holds every offer to Redbook and carsales evidence, and a disclosure guardrail enforces odometer, PPSR, and written-off status on every listing.
What drives the business: New-car margins are thin and set by the manufacturer, so real dealership profit lives in two places: the trade-in and the service drive. Buy a trade too high and the used deal loses money before it's even listed; buy it too low and the sale walks. Fixed ops is the most consistent profit centre a dealership has — and the easiest to lose silently as customers lapse to independents. Every context, workflow, and guardrail in this kit points at those two numbers.
What's inside
Contexts, workflows, and guardrails that work together.
The Appraisal Agent wins the trade at the right number, the Service Retention Advisor and Win-Back Pipeline defend the service drive, Ageing Stock Reprice keeps the yard turning, and the integrity and disclosure guardrails keep every offer and listing compliant — so the two numbers beyond the showroom floor both hold.

v1.01 Mar 2026First release
Shipped the appraisal and retention crew with the trade-in, win-back, and reprice pipelines, so the two numbers beyond the showroom floor get worked every day rather than at month end.
Gets progress claims out by the monthly cut-off and prices variations before they vanish into scope. Works from Procore RFIs and the drawing register, MYOB cost codes, and Breadcrumb inductions. Never claims a variation without referenced scope evidence.
Handles renewals, maintenance, and tenant correspondence at volume without a compliance slip. Works from PropertyMe tenancies and lease dates, the Xero trust ledger, and Tapi work orders. Never sends a notice that breaches your state's tenancy Act.
Turns appraisals into signed mandates and enquiries into buyers, with every price traced to comps. Works from Zoho appraisal records, Domain sold prices, and realestate.com.au enquiries. Never quotes a price guide without verified comparable sales.
