The AI BDC Platform

Lumika answers voice, SMS, email, web chat, and social DMs 24/7 across every rooftop. The AI BDC sits on top of your existing CRM and DMS — not on top of your team.

Business Outcomes

Designed for set rate, show rate, and dealer-group scale

Capture every inbound, fast

A call, text, email, web message, or social DM hits the dealership and Lumika responds within seconds — including nights, weekends, and overflow when the BDC cannot pick up.

  • Always-on response across voice, SMS, email, web, and social
  • One conversation per primary channel per contact
  • Anonymous web visitors auto-promote to leads when phone or email is shared

Set more appointments without growing the BDC

Appointments are the unit of revenue. Lumika qualifies the conversation, books the time, and tracks every status change through to the showroom or service drive.

  • Book directly from the conversation composer
  • Status flow: unconfirmed → confirmed → completed | cancelled | no_show | rescheduled
  • Outcomes (sale, RO) join back from the CRM via external IDs

Run multiple rooftops in one workspace

Single store, dealer group, or somewhere in between — visibility scopes match how your organization actually operates.

  • Group-all, rooftop-all, assigned-and-unassigned, or assigned-only inbox visibility
  • Per-rooftop and group-wide memberships
  • Audit trail on every contact, conversation, and appointment

Platform Capabilities

Everything needed to run a modern dealership BDC

Channels

One inbox for voice, SMS, email, web, and social

Bring every inbound into one workspace. Customers thread through one conversation per channel; operators see a unified timeline of inbound, outbound, internal, and system events.

  • Voice, SMS, email, web chat, Messenger, Instagram DM, WhatsApp, Telegram
  • One conversation per primary channel per contact
  • Activities timeline covers messages, calls, notes, and status changes
Identity

One contact, every channel they reach you on

Lumika links phone numbers, emails, web visitor tokens, and social IDs to a single contact so history follows the customer — not the channel.

  • Phone, email, web cookie, Telegram chat ID, Messenger PSID, Instagram ID, WhatsApp E.164
  • Lifecycle: anonymous → new_lead → engaged → appointment_scheduled → sold
  • Anonymous web visitors auto-promote when phone or email is captured
AI + Human

AI replies with a human handoff when it matters

Conversations are assignable to AI agents or human operators. Internal notes coordinate the team without the customer seeing anything.

  • AI agents and human operators share one assignee model
  • Internal notes on the conversation timeline for team coordination
  • Snooze and close states with full reopen history
Appointments

Book, confirm, and track every appointment

Appointments are the conversion outcome. Lumika books from inside the conversation, tracks status, and joins outcomes back from the CRM.

  • Sales test drives, service drop-offs, deliveries
  • unconfirmed → confirmed → completed | cancelled | no_show | rescheduled
  • Sale / RO outcomes joined back via external CRM IDs
Tenancy

Built for dealer groups, not just single stores

Roll out across rooftops with per-membership visibility. Operators see only the inboxes their role and store assignment allow.

  • Inbox visibility: group_all, rooftop_all, assigned_and_unassigned, assigned_only
  • Roles for owners, managers, BDC agents, salespeople, service advisors
  • Per-rooftop and group-wide memberships under one dealership
Compliance

TCPA-ready from day one

Built for the consent rules dealers actually live under. Append-only consent log, per-channel opt-out flags, and 10DLC SMS via Twilio in rollout.

  • Email, SMS, and voice opt-out flags on every contact
  • consent_events log captures source, scope, and channel
  • 10DLC A2P SMS via Twilio (in rollout)

Operating Model

How a conversation moves through Lumika

01

Inbound arrives

A call, text, email, web message, or social DM hits the dealership. Lumika normalizes the sender, finds or creates the contact, and opens a conversation on that channel.

02

AI replies and qualifies

The AI BDC answers within seconds, asks about the vehicle or service, and routes to a BDC agent, salesperson, or service advisor when the conversation needs hands-on attention.

03

Appointment gets booked

Sales test drive, service drop-off, or delivery — Lumika books the time directly from the conversation and tracks confirmed, rescheduled, cancelled, and no-show outcomes.

04

Outcome closes the loop

Sale and repair-order outcomes flow back from the CRM via external IDs. Every state change lands on the contact and conversation audit trail.
