For Automotive & Dealerships

Every abandoned configurator session is a customer who may never visit your dealership.
DeepSync shows you where they go.

Buying a car rarely happens in one visit. Customers research models, compare trims, customize colors, calculate EMIs, and book test drives over days or weeks. DeepSync helps automotive brands and dealerships understand where buyers lose confidence and convert more online research into showroom visits.

The challenge

Customers don't walk into dealerships anymore. They research everything first.

Before speaking with a salesperson, buyers compare models, explore trims, estimate EMIs, check financing, configure vehicles, and locate nearby dealerships.

Configurations that never become quotes

Buyers can build a vehicle and leave, with no signal about which trim or feature confused them.

Finance calculators that create doubt

EMI estimates that exclude taxes and registration can stop a buyer mid-decision.

Comparisons that send buyers away

Trim differences hidden in spec PDFs push buyers to leave and compare elsewhere.

Mobile test-drive bookings that fail

A booking button hidden by the keyboard can quietly cost weekend appointments.

The solution

On the ground

What this looks like in a real week.

Automotive & Dealerships scenarios DeepSync teams run into — and how each one gets fixed.

01

Everyone configures. Few request a quote.

A vehicle manufacturer notices thousands of buyers completing the online configurator but very few requesting dealer quotes. Session replay reveals customers repeatedly switching between trims because feature differences aren't clearly explained.

The configurator adds side-by-side trim comparisons; quote requests increase 21%.

02

Finance uncertainty kills conversions

A dealership group invests heavily in digital advertising. Replay sessions reveal buyers repeatedly opening EMI calculators before abandoning because estimated monthly payments exclude taxes and registration costs.

The dealership introduces transparent all-inclusive payment estimates; lead quality improves significantly.

03

AI finds a mobile booking bug

Weekend test drive bookings suddenly decline. DeepSync AI identifies Android users unable to scroll to the appointment confirmation button after selecting a preferred dealership.

Engineering deploys a fix before Monday morning; bookings immediately recover.

04

Buyers can't compare trims

Visitors repeatedly jump between model pages before leaving. Heatmaps reveal buyers constantly opening specification PDFs because trim differences aren't visible during comparison.

The website introduces interactive comparison tables; average session time increases while dealer inquiries grow.

05

Trade-in estimates create doubt

Customers begin trade-in valuation but abandon before submitting vehicle details. Replay sessions reveal uncertainty around how valuations are calculated.

The dealership explains the valuation process and provides instant estimate ranges; trade-in submissions increase substantially.

06

Dealer locator loses buyers

Customers search for nearby dealerships but rarely schedule appointments. Journey analysis shows many abandon after discovering dealer hours, inventory, and contact details are spread across multiple pages.

The dealer locator is redesigned with complete information in one place; appointment bookings increase.

07

EV shoppers need different information

An electric vehicle brand notices high traffic but low conversion. Replay sessions reveal customers repeatedly searching charging information and estimated driving range before leaving.

Charging network coverage, ownership costs, and range calculators are moved higher on vehicle pages; EV inquiry rates improve.

08

Returning visitors finally reveal the buying journey

Most buyers visit the website four or five times before contacting a dealer. DeepSync identifies that returning visitors consistently revisit financing, safety ratings, and ownership costs before requesting a test drive.

Marketing surfaces these answers earlier in the buying journey; dealer conversions improve without increasing advertising spend.
