About This Automation

Trade-in valuation asks a salesperson to gather vehicle details, research comparable market values, and build a worksheet by hand before a manager inspects the vehicle and drafts a formal offer.

The automated version pulls vehicle details into a ready valuation worksheet, routes inspection adjustments to the right person, and prepares the offer document for signature. Customers see a consistent, faster offer, and follow-up happens on schedule without anyone tracking it manually.

Key features
Compiles comparable market values into a ready-to-review valuation worksheet
Applies inspection adjustments automatically to the working offer figure
Prepares the formal trade-in offer document for signature
Sends the offer for signature without manual document assembly
Triggers a follow-up sequence when a customer has not responded
Updates the deal record automatically once an outcome is reached
